Yesterday I made a commitment to look one of my biggest fears and limiting beliefs in the eye…my fear of trusting life and belief that I can’t trust it.
Now, this is not the first time I have worked with this fear. I have peeled back layers and layers of this fear. But, lately I have noticed a few things that feel stuck and I haven’t been able to address on my own.
I have LOTS of evidence piled up in my subconscious about why I should still keep this fear alive…my dad died suddenly when I was 3, childhood sexual abuse, physical and emotional abuse from past boyfriends…I could go on and on.
And like I said, I’ve done a lot of releasing up to this point. But, it feels like I am about to pull out the root.
When I was presented with an opportunity to make this commitment and look my fear in the eye on Saturday, all hell broke lose inside of me. I was paralyzed with fear.
So, I started to look at my life and the way I have done things the past few years to address this fear.
What I realized is that I had it backwards…
I had been chasing external change in order to address this fear and limiting belief. What I mean by that is that I had been doing things like traveling to conferences to speak, going to 8-10 networking events a month because if I could bring in more clients, and more money… Then I could trust life. I thought I needed proof first!
I was looking for an external result to change my inner world. Well, it just doesn’t work that way.
You need to change your inner world, in order to change your outer world.
You can’t expect your spouse to change, so that you feel more loved. You can’t expect to lose weight and keep it off for good if you don’t address the inner reasons that are stopping you.
I want you to think about something in your life right now that feels like a challenge…maybe you have an issue with your health, an issue with a relationship, or in your business…
What needs to change within you to get a different result???
The holidays are coming up…and this is a time of year that can be VERY triggering and challenging for many people.
This is also a time when I see that many people want their outer environment to change so that they are happy. They want their family and friends to change so they feel happier.
They want to have that loved one back in their life that they miss to feel at peace.
The truth is that although it’s “suppose” to be a time of peace, joy, and happiness….many people experience significant anxiety, depression, and illness more than any other time of year.
Many turn to food and alcohol to numb themselves and end up gaining weight and crashing and burning in January.
If you have your own business, it can be a time of even more stress because maybe things are slower, or you find it challenging to manage your time between your business and family.
If you would love to make this upcoming holiday season your best EVER….then I want to invite you to a workshop I am co-hosting called…
