When You're Put In A Position To Figure It Out, You Figure It Out

We are here to break habits, toxic cycles and knock down walls. Getting out of our comfort zone and GROWING. Growth is important, very very important in order to move up in this game of life. The difficult part is, that we usually only grow in discomfort. That means, trying something new or putting ourselves in positions where we could potentially fail which is scary as all can be. Why would we want to go ahead and set ourselves up for failure when we could stay in the safe comfortable space we set for ourselves?

That's the journey, figuring it out. We will not take leaps and jumps or figure out new things for ourselves if we do not put ourselves in a position to do so. We will not get over fears, anxieties and learn new things if we do not put ourselves in a position to do so. For example, when you're afraid of rejection and have this deep rooted fear and anxiety of being rejected then you should go on a date, apply for a job you may not get and embrace the uncomfortable space of the unknown. This is a good time to pay attention to our bodies and how frightful we can be and sit a moment with ourselves. This is a time when the conscious self can meet unconscious self and heal our inner child.

Fears are learned beliefs. Somewhere along the way we learned that being rejected was traumatizing or whatever the fear or limiting belief may be. We learned that through our traumatic events from our childhood that it is hurtful and sad to be rejected and when we are put into a position to possibly be rejected we go into panic mode. We need to break that cycle so we can move forward with life. We cannot stay stuck in the same place for the rest of our lives, we must push to understand ourselves and move forward.

So, put yourself in a position to figure it out, then you will be forced to sit with yourself and figure it out. You will be forced to give that inner child a hug and tell them "it's okay, we can do this". Once you complete the task. then your body realizes that its not so bad and it gets easier and easier every time. Then we are making moves towards growth and expansion knocking down one wall at a time. It won't happen overnight so don't get discouraged but continue putting yourself in those scary position here and there. Reach out for help if needed, phone a friend, get a psychologist or a coach to coach you through your emotions during this time.

As small and silly as the task may be, don't be hard on yourself. Theres a reason for everything and people get triggered for different reasons for different things and there's nothing wrong with that. However, that does not mean we should stop and stay in our safe corner. We are here to grow and learn, to receive energy but also to give. In order To do so we must be the best we can be each day and that doesn't mean perfect but that means we try by breaking habits and learned behaviors by picturing our life and who we really want to be and what we want to achieve physically, emotionally and personally.

Good luck!

What To Do When You Don't Know What To Do

 I come along the issue often when I don't know what I want. How is it I do not know what I want or where to go or what to do?! Honestly, you would think we all know who we are and what we want out of this life. There's just so many options. So many routes we can take in order to succeed, excel or grow.  One thing I came to terms with is that life is a game. I like to compare it to a video game. Once you beat the first level you can move on to the next but you have to use all the skills you gain each time in order to beat that level. That means make the changes in your life that moves you on to the next advancement. You'll have to use, in totality your mental, emotional and physical skills and understanding in order to beat the level. If needed, you call for a lifeline, you reach out to a friend for help, maybe a psychologist or coach and you pray.  This is how we find out who we are and if we are moving in the right direction. Life will give you signs as to which way to ...

The Mental Process Of Moving Up And On In Your Career

  I was talking to a friend the other day very confused on what decision to make. Which in my opinion is the most difficult part about life, knowing what we truly want. We often find ourselves a safe corner to sit and be comfortable or we over indulge in too many things hoping one sticks. There are so many factors that go into this. There's our inner self that wants what the heart truly wants but our conscious being that's logical and makes calculated decision based off experience mixed with all of what the past and trauma has taught us. So given all that, how do we know what we truly want? I used to be queen of having back up options, because they're safe. It keeps me safe from the depths of the scariest place on this earth, the unknown. Having multiple back up options was a safe route and yes it does aid in security and can be a good idea at times but let us focus on our career and other important life decisions. When deciding what it is we want to do with our life on a d...
