Does Your Head Talk to You Too Much?
Maybe this sounds silly, but do you find that your head keeps talking to you and you can’t turn it off? I know how that feels cuz I was burdened with that for many years. Until I realized that… You can choose your thoughts. Yes. You can exercise control over the thoughts that keep flitting through your head.

What Do You Tell Yourself that Keeps You Stuck?
"I failed at this before." OK. I'll give you some space on this one because I know first-hand that failure can hurt. But I won't let you end there.

And, that things are not yet quite ready for you to move ahead--you have some baggage to attend to. Have you ever tried to talk to your boss and felt like you got nowhere? Or have you wanted to move to a new place and didn't have the courage to do so? By shifting your focus off of what seems like failure and instead re-framing past situations as, "What really happened? What did I learn? What could I do better?" you start to see things in a new light. What Do You Tell Yourself that Keeps You Stuck?
“It’s too complicated.” By now you know that I focus on getting unstuck and moving forward in life--because I've needed it so much in my own life. And I've seen it in the lives of my friends, family, and clients. I understand what it means get stuck in grief after the loss of a love relationship whether through death, divorce, or separation. I know what it feels like to be in a job that doesn’t fit, but you still need to pay the bills. Or, how it feels to be frozen with fear at taking a step that might snowball in ways you can’t control or know what will happen. Aargh! |
