Hi Everyone ❤️! Today’s post is going to be about being the person you want to be. Sometimes there are things in life that can hold us back from being the person we want to be. It could be an event or a person that is holding us back and this can hinder us from being happy with who we are.

  • What is holding you back from being the person you want to be?
  • Have you overcome what was holding you back?
  • What strategy/strategies did you use to overcome this hurdle?


For me, an event had hindered me from being the person I wanted to be. A few years ago, I used to be a part of a group of friends. This particular group acted the same, and what one person thought was cool, everyone had to think it was cool. However, there were things that I did not find cool within that group, and I was afraid to express my feelings about them. This prevented me from being a good person, which is the kind of person I wanted to be. To overcome this, I left that environment. For a solution, I spent time doing the things that I wanted to do, and eventually, I became the person I wanted to be. What about you?


I can wait to see your responses 😊.

I have never been a confident person. It was really myself holding me back. I don’t think I’m nowhere near what I could be. I haven’t yet, it takes time and I need time to cope and settle. I like the saying return to your life. I feel like I’m in a lost place and I could always come home. I want to feel like I’m home then I’ll accept myself.

The sensation to feel at home can really help feeling better and in balance with our inner self 💙

Wish you to find your way to be in tune with it.

  • What is holding you back from being the person you want to be? When I get so preoccupied with trying to not have problems, I lose sight that everyone has problems. My problems are not the most important problems in the world. When I see other
  • Have you overcome what was holding you back? It is a long process so that is an answer of making progress.
  • What strategy/strategies did you use to overcome this hurdle? When I see other people want to be happy and free of the pains they experience just like me, my mind is changed in a nice way to value others more and stop my constant preoccupation with my self.

  • What is holding you back from being the person you want to be? The more I practise mindfulness the less negative thoughts from the past are influencing my life. I do not have a concrete idea about what to become but something I know is that I would like to continue learning to live mindfully.
  • Have you overcome what was holding you back? 7 cups has greatly helped me to deal and overcome with things which hold be back, I feel that I opened a door to freedom, even if it might be closed very temporarily because of past visiting
  • What strategy/strategies did you use to overcome this hurdle? Coping skills I learned here like challenging and reframing thoughts, mindfulness
