It can ALL CHANGE so quickly!

It can ALL CHANGE so quickly... Imagine...
- Asking your boss for what you want and getting it after putting it off for months.
- Running your first new consultation process for a brand new client and helping them create incredible, transformational results in only a few hours.
- Doing it scared but leaning in to your potential and the dreams you hold for your business and the impact you want to have in the world.
- Getting clear on the direction you want your life to take in only a few weeks. Finding the direction and clarity that has eluded you for a lifetime.
- Falling in love with your children all over again as you set the intention to become a present mum who focuses on the joy and meaning your little ones bring to your life.
- Having a conversation that requires courage and planning but that you know is the route to you finding more meaning, fulfilment and authenticity in your life and how you live it.
These are just a few examples of the amazing results my clients shared this week.
After 3 sessions together in the Becoming Wildly Authentic Group Coaching Programme Every. Single. One. of the amazing women who took the leap to invest in themselves and join me on this 6 month journey of self discovery and transformation are having huge shifts, massive breakthroughs and creating results they wouldn't even have dreamt of only weeks ago.
"I feel an internal energy now I haven't felt for a really long time. I feel more powerful because I am clearer on who I am, what I want and what is most important to me."
There is also another common theme, and that is the commitment to release the grip of the inner critic, the doubting internal voice that rolls out those old stories on repeat. The stories that weigh you down, the ones you have lugged around for a lifetime.
The stories that have no place in your future, other than to remind you and spur you on that YOU ARE NOT DEFINED BY THEM ANYMORE.
What are YOUR stories?
The stories about ourselves that are often based in our childhood, a traumatic or stressful experience. What is the recurring internal narrative that keeps you stuck and small? Is it something a bully said to you as a child? Perhaps it was a teacher or a parent?
Take a moment to recognise it and write it down.
Now consider - What are you gaining from clutching that old story tight to your chest? Does it feel good when you keep it on replay? Or when you share it with your friends? Worse- when you tell it to yourself to keep you playing a small game?
My work focuses on helping us unravel those stories and rewrite them in a way that empowers us, helps us to realise our potential and encourages us to be brave and unlimited in our ambitions.
So while our stories do shape us - often it's at the expense of our happiness. I want to encourage us all to question any stories that may be holding us back and become exactly who was want to be NOW.
How will you release the grip of those stories? How can you rewrite them to help you feel more confident, empowered and aligned with who you know deep down you came here to be?
There are a few truths that will massively support you to reach your fullest expression and potential in the world…
- What other people think of you is NONE of your business. When you stop replying on others opinions to fuel your sense of self worth and value, a whole new level of confidence becomes available to you. When you stop searching for the approval of others and seek only for your own approval - are you acting with the best intent? Are you staying true and aligned to who you are NOW and the values you hold at this stage of your life? Directing your focus and energy internally to strengthen your own sense of clarity and conviction is a crucial strategy to adopt to release yourself from the grip of your ego and the past.
- Remember - No one knows the things you say to yourself! You define yourself and how it feels to be you by the way you treat yourself and talk to yourself. No one cares about the old stories you carry around as self doubt and self criticism that keep you playing small and filled with worry and anxiety - they are yours alone to release so find a way to create new habits, new thoughts and new feelings that align with who you want to be in the world.
- When you are called to step up and serve others in the world. Perhaps as a coach, a speaker, a therapist, a consultant, you are very often driven by a deeper sense of purpose and mission. Drawing on that, focusing on the impact you want to create in the world gives you strength and courage to push through your comfort zone and reach new levels. A simple way to do this is when you are hesitating to post that blog, to do that Facebook Live, to challenge that client, remember - it’s NOT about you and it is ENTIRELY about who you are called to serve. Remembering this when you feel scared or nervous when you need to step outside your comfort zone keeps your ego in check, your heart-centred on service and your impact full of love and impact.
