The secret to mastering your mindset...
I spend most of my days helping people bring their dreams to life.
My work is rooted in assisting those who have consciously chosen to override their painful past and the limiting ideas that they were raised with to create a new, more abundant reality for themselves and their loved ones.
You could say I'm a professional dream alchemist.
My method is simple, yet the process, itself isn't always easy.
Because to change and to elevate our frequency to that of our dreams, often feels like a betrayal through the lens of the way most of us were raised.
And for most of us, our belief systems and the limiting concepts that serve as the guard rails to keep us safe, hello mammalian brain, have been hard-wired since we were little kids.
So what does this have to do with growing and building a life-changing brand + business?
In a word: E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G.
No matter what the goal, be it running a marathon or hitting your first million dollar year, we have preconceived beliefs systems that pad our experiences and influence our willingness to take the steps necessary to achieve the goal.
Most people fail to reach their goals not because of their ability, rather, due to the hard-wired mental blocks (and neuropathways) they've never thought to question.
I was having a conversation with a loved one recently and they were sharing with me how angry they felt about how people were choosing not to wear masks when entering the establishment they work at.
I could tell that this was causing them a great deal of stress.
They also shared that they couldn't help themselves from making comments to the patrons who weren't wearing masks throughout the day, which inevitably, was diminishing their ability to do their job and successfully make sales.
When I asked what it would feel like to let it go and maintain a focus on their own optimal health and ability to do their job, the answer was simply, "Much better."
Now this isn't a commentary on masks or no masks, but rather a reminder that we often get stuck in the grooves of our old ways of being.
Negative self-talk or doubt are two primary places I see my clients getting tripped up over and over again.
Yet they believe the reason they are not having the success they desire is solely related to the strategies they did or did not try in their sales and marketing process.
Let me be the one to tell you that your strategies are secondary to the most important tactic of all...Mastering Your Own Mindset.
And for starters, this looks like:
Understanding what makes you tick and WHY.
Being willing to do the excavation work necessary to unearth your patterns
Owning the story you WANT to live
ANDCommitting to the deep transformational work to get yourself there is the answer.
Our dreams are the golden thread that lead us to the path of our destiny.
They are undeniably powerful and the key to unlock us from the chains that have bound us for way too long.
What if we spent more time talking about our dreams rather than reviewing the reasons they haven’t happened yet?
What if we woke up everyday and took action towards what we desire instead of listing the reasons why we can’t have what we want?
I’m here to tell you that your bank account and your belief in yourself can look a whole lot different than it does right now.
But something has to change first...
And that’s the habit you have of putting yourself down, quitting on you and staying safely tucked inside your comfort zone.
Everything about pursuing your dreams will stretch you.
The journey will change you from the inside out and test you every step of the way.
The best part?
You will learn things about yourself that will blow your mind.
You will expand your capacity.
You will increase your stamina.
You will feel more fulfilled + free than ever before.
Someone recently said that achieving our dreams feels like swimming upstream, that it’s hard + painful and asks of us to make sacrifices that feel like they might break us.
And while I agree that the pursuit, itself, often results in pain and incredible challenges that test our will...there is nothing upstream about it.
One of my primary objectives in life is to feel into the river of life and trust in where the current is taking me.
It’s our journeys that refine us and our callings that carve us into the fullness of who we really are.
Our dreams bring us back to our golden center - our reason for being here + human.
In the words of poet Mark Nepo, “When we devote ourselves to our dreams, whole-heartedly, we come true.”
To you and your dreams, dear one...
