I started Exhale by sharing my very first exhale experience when I realised that my life - and especially my work / business - felt like I was pushing a rock up the hill.<...> That sensation and the fact that I had become unhappy and tired in doing so, was my obstacle.
Where I am today, I'd very much like to avoid that sensation of feeling I have to persist and persevere with something that isn't enjoyable, isn't working and likely making me unhealthy (mentally, emotionally and / or physically).
Instead I've tried to be more aware of when obstacles do pop up and having a perspective about that. I've mostly stopped trying to overcome obstacles and challenges, and have tried to find alternative routes to get to where I'd like to go.
