My 🧠 Is A Liar 😏

Hey

Self love. 

What every success and feeling of ease, peace and trust derives from. 

Here’s how I know when I’m not loving myself enough because I’m caught up in fear: 

🦉 I stay up too late (which makes me groggy in the am)

🚫 I become avoidant

🍞 I eat processed foods that will in turn have me feeling heavy and foggy (these days it’s as simple as a wrap or burger bun) 

📺 I watch too much TV

🪞 I stop doing mirror work and affirmations

✍🏼 I don’t journal as much

📈 I don’t set financial monthly goals

🌳 I don’t walk everyday

These are just a few examples of when I know I’m not loving myself and it’s usually fuelled from anxiety about the future, which is further perpetuated by financial fear, which are all situations out of my control and tend to pull me away from what I can control: the present moment and my present actions.

I forget who I am, what I value and what I’ve created so far. The voice of fear (we call it Voldemort/Voldy around here) takes over my psyche and tries to rule my future. 

The financial fear stems from not knowing if my next calling will make me money and keep me ‘afloat’.

I have been running my business for over 6 years, I haven’t been employed since I left Revolut in October of 2017 and every cent I’ve received has either been from investments, through my business or ‘financial synchronicities’ aka manifesting. 

It has always worked out in the end, over and over and over again, for more than 6 years. 

Yet my brain believes that THIS time will be different… 😂

In 2019, I made $107k in my second year of business. 

In 2021, I made over $220,000. 

I also made $307,000 tax free profit from an investment property. 

My brain often likes to trick me into thinking ‘this time will be different’ when I am about to pivot, make a big change and when I am about to stop doing what I’ve always done.

Here’s the thing…

Once upon a time, I had never done that thing until it became normalised… from doing that thing a lot. 

So really, my brain is a liar. 

It likes the familiar and not so long ago, the familiar didn’t even exist.

1:1 coaching for example. 

My entire business was built on 1:1 coaching and then formulating groups from 1:1 or people going into 1:1 after groups. 

In 2017, this business didn’t even exist, let alone feel familiar. 

Over time, it became familiar, it became a new normal. 

When I moved into creating communities my brain strained and said ‘this time will be different’ and guess what? 

It’s not different. 

It was just unknown, til it became known.

We have 15 people in Skool and our calls are something I really look forward to every Monday. 

We have 4 people in MAMC and the results speak for themselves. 

My response…

I tend to have a letting go problem more than I have a starting or a messy action problem. 

The letting go problem occurs because it feels uncomfortable and painful to sit on the precipice of a cliff, knowing I have to leap (because I am being called) but having no idea if the net will appear to catch me (it always has, ‘but maybe this time will be different!?’ my brain says). 

If you are sitting on the cliff, riddled with the same “what if this doesn’t work out” kinda energy that has plagued me too many times, you’re not alone. 

If you have a business on your heart, a why on your heart and you’re just not sure about the HOW and your brain pesters you for clear direction and a roadmap, just know, you’re not alone in this either. 

Our Skool community is so great. 

Here’s a few of the peeps you’ll be hanging out with should you decide to join us. 

and… here’s some of the questions we contemplate and brainstorm in the group, together 🦢
