We are already halfway through the year, but it's not too late to create the most fantastic year yet!
If you are feeling a bit lost, overwhelmed and down on yourself, take the pressure off. Take a step back and b r e a t h e.
Life can be busy and full of to-do-lists, but the only person who can change this for us is us.
Don't expect things to change, if you keep running and avoid having a look at what's coming up.
Have you been dreaming up a vision, but you keep telling yourself that it's too grand to even dare to think you could get there?
Have you been standing in your own way?
Have you been telling yourself that you can't do it - and therefore keep proving to yourself that you truly can't, by constantly setting yourself up for failure?
Or do you feel deep down that you don't deserve it? That you must work hard in order to achieve it and that things don't drop from the sky?
There are all sorts of beliefs that we usually accumulate in our first years of life (so be careful what you tell or model for your kids! Watch those comments: "You can't always get what you want", "Money doesn't grow on trees", "Oh you can't do that!")
These beliefs are like a table top. Once the belief is formed and propped up by a few table legs, our brain continuously looks for evidence to prove the belief right.
That means, if deep down you believe that you'll need to work hard in order to achieve the goal you have - you will absolutely need to do so!
If deep down you believe you're not lovable, you'll create one relationship failure after the next - only to prove yourself right!
If you'd like to change this, start doing things differently.
"You'll always get what you've always got, when you always do what you've always done"
First of all, there is awareness of course.
If you're not even aware of what you're doing and are living in victim mentality - aka "poor me" - then you won't even think that there is anything you can do to change your situation.
You'll be thinking that everything is out of your control and that you're hard done by, as all those 'bad things' seem to only happen to you and not anyone else. You'll keep creating the same chains of events that you've always created and feel miserable.
If you're however keen to take control over your life back - and instead of handing all your power away to all those 'bad things', 'bad people', etc and are ready to take your power back over your own wellbeing, you could start with the following:
Ask yourself (after you've taken a big deep breath out!):
What's really important to you right now?
What do you really want to achieve? Meaning, what rocks your boat and expands you? What feels super exciting to you?
Now, break it down:
What does it take to get there?
Now is the time to get clear again what it is that you really want to create or achieve this year.
Then break it all down into little steps and keep chipping away at them.
If you focus and keep reminding yourself what it is you desire and why and follow it through with action - you'll be surprised how fast you'll get there!
Does that sound very easy but it feels too hard to do all by yourself?
