Mindset Makeover to Get Unstuck

Have you ever felt “stuck”?

Well if you are in human form, the answer is usually unequivocally “of course”!

I heard recently someone sharing the observation that there’s no such thing as “stuck”… but there is such a thing in being stuck in a mindset that isn’t serving you.

I actually could not agree more. So, I’d like to share content from two clients sessions last week that exemplify this:

Session #1: 36 year young female client is in between jobs, with logistical, time and energetic space she hasn’t had for a very long time. Her dream is to go to Spain for one month, to immerse herself in the language and enjoy the sights, sounds, tastes and smells of a country she loves so much.

She said she felt immobilized and stuck…afraid to make it happen. When we dug deeper she said,

“For some reason I feel like I don’t deserve it!”

‘Now we’re getting somewhere’ I thought…and we did.

The minute she voiced what was making her hesitate, the more she realized its false premise and faulty logic. And the minute she realized that, she popped that bubble that was blocking her and expressed feeling excited to press “GO”! Sometimes all it takes is to excavate and recognize the distortions to feel relief from its quick release.

Session #2: A male client of mine, in mid-life, is thinking about launching a service based consulting business and expressed frustration over his procrastination. When we explore this, he revealed

“I feel like I need to know everything, before I change anything. And furthermore, I feel like I need to know everything, before I charge anything for my services. ”

Bingo…got it! The only thing holding him back was this perfectionistic belief that he needed to know everything – as if this is even possible. Once he voiced this and literally laughted at how far it was from his wiser knowing…he was back on track…committed to believing in his knowledge, capacity, and growth potential…following his calling, taking it one step at a time, and having faith that it will be a journey for he and all he serves.

So…how about you my friend? Is there anything you’ve been meaning to do that you have felt “stuck” with, because of a stubborn worn out mind chatter that is ready for a mind-set makeover? If so, I offer you these

5 Questions to Move You from Pause to Progression:

1: WHAT DO I WANT?

Another words…what do you KNOW to be true about your deepest desires and callings? And, do you feel your whole heart is in with the wish, vision and intention?

2: WHAT IS MY MIND TELLING ME ABOUT THIS?

Mindset matters. What judgements, fears and doubts are you carrying that is creating pause, procrastination or avoidance?

Here’s some common thought stoppers: “I won’t be able to do it” “I’ll be lonely if I do” “Who am I to do this”? “It will take away too much time from partner or kids” “What If I suck at it” “If I try will I fail and make a fool of myself?” “What if I succeed and am faced with envy and the judgments of others?” “I feel like I don’t deserve it” “There is just SO much to do to make it happen“

3: IS IT VALID?

What often proves to be ironic and relieving is that most of what we are afraid of or worry about doesn’t even come to pass! So when these limiting beliefs and fears come up, that block your forward movement…it’s crucial to check in with the degree of truth they carry.

4: IF NOT TRUE, THEN WHERE IS THIS FICTIONALIZED TALE I AM TELLING MYSELF COMING FROM?

Insight empowers, and helps us get a grip on what is real or imposed. If you realized that some of these thought stoppers are not serving you, it’s illuminating to tune in to what is projected into the present from a past experience. What disempowering messages did you receive from caretakers and authority figures when you were young that you may have internalized and believed to be true?

5: WHAT NEW NARRATIVE, MOTIVATING MINDSET, AND BETTER FEELING THOUGHT WOULD SUPPORT & INSPIRE MY PROGRESS?

Now, it’s time to re-write that story. Sometimes it’s literally just reversing the limiting thought in our head to the opposite, from the old “I don’t deserve it” to “Everyone deserves to follow their dreams, including ME!” This will propel you back to your desire, investing your time and energy envisioning how amazing it will be to birth your desire into reality.

Your new life-affirming mindset can and will move you in the direction of your dreams…

And…I can’t wait to hear all about it!
