Yary Rios identifies their main motivational obstacle as having an attitude where feelings get in the way of objectively analyzing situations, which can lead to overreactions. To overcome this, Yary plans to think before acting or speaking, understand that others can disagree without it being personal, and control their feelings. Yary is also working on conquering mental paralysis, commitment issues, and their tendency to get in their own way. Strategies include not letting thoughts distract from goals, committing to small steps to achieve big goals, and staying focused on rewards to continue progress.
