Possibility through Practice
Hello Beautiful Human,
Every day we wake up our mind offers us a roadmap of predictable thinking and behavior.
This simple brain function saves us energy and helps us get through our day alive, or at least as alive as we were yesterday.
But that predictable thinking and behavior will only take us so far. If you’ve achieved a certain amount of success through hard work, hustle, and anxiety your brain will reinforce the road map.
It works.
The only problem is that you are exhausted.
What served you once are now limiting beliefs and maladaptive habits that feels like your identity.
But here’s my thesis and the reality I witness every week:
Change is Possible.
We can wake up to the predictable roadmap of our current patterns and practice something different.
Until we start feeding our mind and nervous system different ways of being our predictable behavior persists.
Examples Identified by Clients:
- When my to-do list looks and feels like too much I mentally spin and end up being less productive than I am capable of.
- When that team member triggers me I get defensive and lose access to my best collaborative skills which perpetuates my frustration.
- When I feel confused by a project or situation I seek more information to the point of inaction and am accused of bottlenecking the project.
Reflect:
What predictable reactions are driving your results?
Which do you want to rewrite with practice?
After Coaching:
- When time feels tight I access the protocol we created to find flow and mental peace to work quickly and with more ease.
- When I feel triggered I noticed the physical responses and mentally zoom out to the version of myself who stays calm and collected and I stay in my power.
- When I feel confused I acknowledge the feeling and invite my brain to focus on what I do know and specifically answer the pending questions so I can stay in productive energy.
Your current reactions, behavior, and ‘personality’ are simply your most practiced responses.
You are invited to believe that change is possible.
There are tools, insights, and practices to rewrite your responses that align with who you desire to be.
If the spark for change is sitting in your belly, book a discovery call and we’ll walk through my CHANGE framework to identify the process & practices that will create your desired transformation.
Upcoming Event:
You have too much potential to stay stuck in predictable reactions.
Be well, Sonya
