Are You Supporting, or Sabotaging YourSelf?

Mostly, what gets in the way of us living the happy, JOYful, prosperous lives that we wish for is nothing more, and nothing less than - ourselves!

The way we treat ourselves - the stuff we tell ourselves, the stuff we believe about ourselves, the way we see ourselves, the concept we have of ourselves - is the single biggest factor in determining the results in our lives and what we experience.

The world accepts us and reflects back to us our own estimation of ourselves. So what we believe about ourselves, becomes true for us.

If we believe deep-down that we're not good enough, or that there's "not enough to go around" and we're coming from a place of lack - then guess what we're going to experience? Yep, exactly what we believe, and more of the same!

So - are You supporting, or sabotaging YourSelf?

Are you telling YourSelf that You CAN or - you can't be, do or have whatever it is that you wish for?

Because one thing's for sure - if You don't believe in YourSelf, it's hard to keep going. It's hard to even get started - because if you don't believe you can do it - then why bother to try?

Recently I was working with a client who wanted to do something, but kept telling me about her 'block' that was in the way. She believed she had a block. She talked about it and carried it around with her like an old friend. Except it was the kind of friend that sabotages you and stops you from enjoying your life to the full - so really why would you want to keep it hanging around, when it's really no friend at all? 

I said, "What if you decide you just don't need this block anymore. It's not serving You. It's not UPlifting your life in any way. What if you decide just to put it down and leave it behind?"

She became very agitated and said, "I can't. Don't you understand - it's a block!"

"You've decided it's a block," I said to her. And now You can decide to leave it behind, if you want to. It's only fear and you can step over it - and leave it far behind. You can summon up all your courage and take that step over it and keep going. Or you can decide to hang on to it for the rest of your life and let it limit you from the Good Stuff.... "

Once You bravely decide to step over it - you'll see it wasn't really a Big Bad Block at all. Just a little fear that prompted you to expand past your own self-imposed limits and to grow.

You don't need to take a massive leap of faith if that's too scary for you. Baby steps, little by little, loving and supporting YourSelf along the way will get you there. 

And how do I know this? Well, it's because I have done it and am still doing it too - every day! Right there with ya! 😊

The mind is a powerful tool. But we need to remember that it's always UP to us how we use it. We are in charge of our minds. It's not the other way around. We can use our minds to support ourselves, or to sabotage ourselves. It's UP to us to decide!

I'm so happy that my client is starting to realise this for herself - and she's stepping over her block and leaving it far behind - a disappearing speck in the distance!

When we decide to love and support and enCourage ourselves, there are no blocks or limits that can stop us from Rocking our Happiness and Getting our Glow ON!  
 
With Love and all the enCouragement in the world,

Recommit to Your Goals and Live Your Most Joyful Life :)

• Constantly Recommit to your goals.

It isn’t always easy or convenient to pursue your goals. There are always challenges that test your commitment.

"Whatever obstacles appear in your path, put your head down and get past them. Those obstacles aren't real. They're just God's way of testing you. He's asking you, "Do you want to make it or not?"" ~ Russell Simmons

Accept the challenges as lessons, to help you learn and grow :)

• Be Patient :)

"No great thing is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen." ~ Epictetus

Allow yourself as much time as it takes, and don’t become frustrated and try to rush things.

"He who would learn to fly one day must learn to stand & walk & run & climb & dance; one cannot fly into flying." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche

If you’re thinking and acting with intent, you are making progress :)

“Do not be impatient with your seemingly slow progress. Do not try to run faster than you presently can. If you are studying, reflecting and trying, you are making progress whether you are aware of it or not. A traveller walking the road in the darkness of night is still going forward. Someday, some way, everything will break open, like the natural unfolding of a rosebud.” ~ Vernon Howard 

•  Be Courageous

“Courage in the path is what makes the path manifest itself” ~ Paulo Coelho

You are always much braver than you think you are :)

• Be Persistent:

Don’t be put off by setbacks or failure.

“If the first plan which you adopt does not work successfully, replace it with a new plan; if this new plan fails to work, replace it in turn with still another, and so on, until you find a plan which does work. Right here is the point at which the majority of men meet with failure, because of their lack of persistence in creating new plans to take the place of those which fail.” ~ Napoleon Hill

Don’t give up on your dreams and desires, even when they seem out of reach.
That’s when it’s time to recommit to your goals and find new ways to get there :)

“When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.” ~ Confucius

Don’t be afraid to try different things, or to do things differently.

“Life is trying things to see if they work” ~ Ray Bradbury

Explore all possibilities and new ways of looking at things.

“All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

When your goals are aligned to your authentic self, you’ll be inspired to achieve them, as you follow your heart and live Your Most Joyful Life :)

"When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing, then we truly live life."~ Greg Anderson

Constantly recommit to what's important to you, focus on living Your Most Joyful Life and Get Your Glow On :)

With love,
