According to Patanjali yoga sutras, there are nine obsatcles that could stop your journey: sickness, appetite, doubt, blockage, laziness, dissipation, illusion, lack of progress, inconstancy or instability.
- SICKNESS
When you are ill, you don’t have energy to live your daily routine.
When you have flue, lying on your bed, sometimes you have the sensation that you are going to die, or that the illness could last forever. Of course, without a good health you cannot do nothing.
Solution?
Prevent, have an healthy lifestyle and protect yourself from injuries or any kind of illness. Also take this time to rest, you are not machine, when you are sick your body ( or the Universe) is trying to say you something. Maybe you have to change habits or diet in your day by day life.
- APPETITE
When you don’t eat, you are not lucid, and you could feel angry and moody. At the same way, when you lose appetite for life, everything can be scary and with no sense.
Solution?
Reconnect with your real passion, with your inner fire. Try to remeber why you start, what was your goal and you will find again the flame in your eyes. Go to eat the World!
- DOUBT or INDECISION
When you don’t get results, you start to doubt about yourself and your project. You start to think that your idea is not worthy, or worst of it, that you are not worthy enough.
Any solution?
Believe in your capacity and in your path. The first person who has to believe in yourself, is you. Go for it, try at least, you never know what is going to happen. Be brave and give yourself the opportunity that you need. Only action bring results.
- HEADLESS
Sometime we have the idea that we cannot see the results that all your effort is not working.
Solution?
Again trust and believe. It is normal to not have immediately results. It is normal to find some difficulties, but if you won’t give up and you keep on trust in what you are doing, soon you will get what you deserve.
- LAZINESS
Procrastination and laziness could be very dangerous. You start to wait the perfect moment, or “I will do tomorrow”, “I start the 1st of the next month”, and this ipotetic future is everyday.
Solution?
Maybe you need a little bit more of discipline and constancy. Do you need to be more organized? Make a plan and try to respect it. Start with some little steps, dedicate to your project at least one hour a day and create an habit. Slowly you can incrise
Don’t make the laziness stronger than your behaviour,
- IDOLISM
The sense of “I” is not only an obstacle, but also one of the main cause of suffering.
Solution?
Don’t take everything personally, things happen because are supposed to happen, it is not your fault, stop blame yourself, accept the things and learn from every mistake.
- ILLUSION
Illusion derived from a lot of expectation. Sometime things don’t happen when we think that are supposed to happen and it could cause a feeling of unsatisfaction.

When there is an instable situation we are afraid, scary, but everything is unstable and unpredictable.
Solution?

If you are strong enough, it doesn’t matter what is flowing around you, because you will always ready to catch the next wave.
