I often feel like there is this big mystery surrounding the things we want for ourselves but aren’t sure we can have. You know those things you secretly long for.. we’ve all got them but tell ourselves they are out of our reach.
I’ll be honest, for years I longed for a body I could feel proud of, comfortable in and at ease with. I believed I’d have to sacrifice a lot, work desperately hard and somehow deserve it more than I did to get there. Then one day I suddenly saw what was off in my thinking around food and exercise and after that it just happened. All it took was a clear understanding of how things worked – an understanding that made sense to me. That was it. In a way it was slightly frustrating to realise that was all it took!
Success isn’t rocket science
Nope.
None of this is. You think people who are disciplined or joyful, successful, motivated or happy are any better or more capable at life than you? They have just learned how to live. They found the right tools for them. The thinking that made sense. And they have removed what was in the way, whether that was self-criticism, constantly being in fight, flight, freeze (where you can’t think clearly or take confident decisions about anything) or being disconnected from emotions.
And learning that stuff it’s just not difficult either. You don’t need to reach enlightenment, be a perfect person, be saintly or “good.” You just need to be you and know what that means you need in terms of how you think, act and support yourself. Getting to that place is everything I offer in resilience coaching, such as:
- Understanding the impact of your past.
- Knowing who you really are and what you want.
- Learning the tricks of a productive mindset.
- Being comfortable with all your emotions.
- Not getting stuck in panic mode or being tripped up by fight, flight, freeze.
These are the things that will allow you to be disciplined, consistent, to bounce back, spring forward, cope with stress, feel more happiness, pursue your purpose, love yourself and have great relationships. And SO much more.
And they aren’t hard to learn. There is no big mystery. You don’t need a degree in neuroscience. You just need the right coach. Find out if that’s me by booking a free intro call.
