Pitfall no.5 - Rushing growth
The power of the pause
Unseen energies support whatever you focus on.
Unseen hormones contort the picture. Cortisol and friends, your stress hormones, do not help when trying to make a difference for yourself.
Thank the universe for breathwork, these ancient techniques allow you to ground and tune in quickly to upgrade your choices.
Let me share one of my favourite stories with you.
An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. ?A fight is going on inside me,? he said to the boy.
?It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil ? he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.? He continued, ?The other is good ? he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you ? and inside every other person, too.?
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, ?Which wolf will win??
The old Cherokee simply replied, ?The one you feed.?
Our thoughts can be our worst enemy if we let them.
If what you focus on is survival or distraction? you shall receive more of the same, feeding that wolf.
There are 2 kinds of goals and it takes a bit of quiet introspection to decipher them.
?Away from? goals are based on something you try to escape from
An example- losing weight.
If you look daily in the mirror (or avoid looking into it at all) and you have in your mind this big goal to lose weight. Feeding yourself some nasty self-talk about your appearance that has over the years eroded any self-esteem that once was present. Is this goal of losing weight hanging like a thread in the energy field above your head?
Similarly with self-care goals like ?I wish to be healthier and nice to myself? ( quietly scolding yourself that you are still bingeing after having tried to stop it so many times)
Away from goals sap our motivation, drive and focus.
?Towards? goals are your inspiration calling you forward
Alternatively reframing it into what we do want to feel.
We first need to make peace and quieten our inner critic, and guess what?
It?s easier than you might have thought, actually delightful, uplifting and gobsmackingly easy.
It can be done within minutes really, yet will it last unless you journal and meet it with your new tools when it surfaces a week or a month from now? NO, it will not.
Re-establishing and upgrading new habits, making new ways for new opportunities takes over all else
Space, Focus and Consistency
Do you have what it takes or do you still think you?d rather dabble a little longer?
Why not try this:
If your New YOU would wear a new perfume? how would it smell?
Now take that scent and imagine (quantum leaping) allowing it into your olfactory sense (the strongest instinct we have and have forgotten about).
Try smelling it into every cell of your being, slowly without any rush, allowing yourself to be energetically called by your future self. Release all urgency. Now feel your body merging with your future self and feel how it would feel to already be there.
From there find the right words for your goal from a place of already having it in contrast to the old place of lack.
Now we are talking and putting the wind behind our sails.
Now that you know how it would feel to have what it is you want,
Ask yourself ?
Is it worth the effort?
If no, go and live happily with your habit knowing it is a choice to do so.
If yes it?s time to take action as your interest in changing the goal just has been upgraded into commitment in front of your eyes.
Take 2 min and take the action to reach out to me now.
?.
I mean now, right NOW.
It has been a pleasure taking you on this journey.
NOW is the time to get out of the generic and into the particulars of YOU.
Information in the head vs taking it where the rubber meets the road...
YOUR ROAD to success
Honoured you read all the way through I am inviting you to a discovery call that leads into NEW POWER and releases force.
In Awe and Gratitude for having the BEST JOB ON EARTH and earning your trust.
