Mindset

Remember, you are fully capable of conquering any fear that comes your way. Embrace fear as a stepping stone towards your personal development. Challenge your perceptions, take small steps, and visualise success.

Black-and-white thinking may provide a temporary sense of certainty, but it limits our personal growth, stifles relationships, and hampers decision-making.

Emotions are contagious. This is incredibly important to understand! You may have noticed that when someone you know is extremely excited, it makes you excited. Alternatively, perhaps you have found that when you talk to someone who is depressed, you walk away feeling sad.

Emotions and feelings are neither right nor wrong, accurate or not. Emotions are simply your body’s reaction to what you are THINKING, whether you’re thinking on purpose or not. Your belief system and other unconscious thoughts are happening on autopilot all the time, and often cause emotions. That’s why sometimes you have NO IDEA why you feel the way you do.

Having constant negative thoughts pouring through your mind will quickly put a damper on most, if not all, aspects of your life, business, relationships - you name it! When it comes to a negative mindset, we have ALL been there.

We have to understand ALL sides of the coins of perfectionism and control in order to then have a lens and perspective, an observation, of why we are doing what we are doing. We then learn to understand why we are telling ourselves the stories that we are. Likewise, we then begin to see the small steps that we can take in order to challenge and change.BUT this can be tough, which is where a coach can come in.

There are times in life when we have to find every drop of energy, to push on through a relentless pursuit to get to where we need to be. We may feel like we’ve climbed a million mountains to get there. That we have fought every lion, tiger and bear along the way with no yellow brick road in sight.

Today isn't about offering advice or guidance, it is simply to say; I get it. I have been there. Go slow. It's okay not to be okay. There is sunlight beyond a statistic.

Our paralysis of mind and freeze state is already no-mans-land and we can either retreat back and stay in the shadows waiting for the storm to pass, or we can head into it, knowing that we will learn such attributes as courage, fortitude, resilience, and more.

Overthinking - It's a common theme that comes up in the Client's chair, almost on a weekly basis. But what are some of the things we can do or consider when we are in the cycle, loop and throws of overthinking?

“I don’t mind” came from a place of love and caring, a space whereby we wanted to make each other happy. But, as we all know, it is never that easy to make everyone happy all at the same time, someone, somewhere, will be compromising (potentially).

Fear of failure will lead many people into inertia - the inability to make decisions or to take action in case they receive rejection or negative outcomes. This mental state is fairly easy to identify and there are many tools in the personal development industry to help combat this barrier and reprogram the mind for success. 

Bucket Overload - so, before we get to that point, let’s just take a step back and manage the load before it erupts into the slowly-steeped, alcohol ladened, Christmas pud!

Many clients come to me with their heads in the sand. They feel stuck, frustrated and unable to take a step forward because the volume of overthinking is as loud as a baseline on any dance chart. They are so focused on the one problem in front of them, that they cannot see beyond the sand.

I have heard the words “You can’t” more times than I can remember. To a point, I kind of love it when I hear it as my brain goes into full on competitive mode of “Oh, is that a challenge? Watch Me”. But what happens when the person telling you this is yourself? Read on and find out in today’s blog!

If you have known me for a while, you will know that I help people to understand that they are AMAZING people with brilliant minds. But the first part in helping those people is to encourage them to be aware of how their mindset is impacting their life and business. Here are just 4 examples that you might want to consider.
