YOU'RE NOT MEANT TO BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE

It's Wednesday and people around you seem to be living lives they are happy with...Well, if you dismiss all of the complaints about the weather, their job, their partner, maybe their boss and focus on the fact that they had a great Saturday night. Then by all measures, they seem happy.

Though for you, the day doesn't matter. You aren't happy, and Saturday night's outing did nothing to ease your discontent.

Nothing seems to entice you and you are definitely not satisfied. You have plenty of opportunities and there is no shortage of fun for you, but.....

𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨.

Yet you can't put your finger on it.

—————

It is common to experience periods of your life where you are dissatisfied. The difference is how you position it in your life.

Are you dissatisfied because you want more, or because you don't know what you want?

Both can be rectified with some attention in key areas.
Find what makes you happy. Can you see yourself doing this in 10 years?
Identify how to become that person. What do you need to do, be and apply?
Make a plan to make it happen.

Why bother? Well, it's about how dissatisfied you are now to direct you into action.

So, the ball is in your court.

You have been waiting for this day for 12 months. Finally, normality resumes, but it’s not what you remember.

It’s been five years since you started working here and as you sit in the office as things start to return to normal, you’re resuming your rituals.

Travel, coffee, sit at the desk and start the day.....and while it’s great to be back at work, more than ever something is missing!

In five years you haven’t really made great progress. You’re stable, but not excited about work. Your boss is happy and gives you more to do.

It’s OK it will get better, you tell yourself.

Will it?

How do you know if you’re not sure what you need to do or where you’re going?

Direction is easier than you may think. There are key activities that can be removed to progress your career:
* 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 - know where you want to be in 5 years
* 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 - stay in touch with people and make new connections
* 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 - enhance your skills either formally or informally.

Maybe, like 1000’s of others, you’re stuck. Not knowing which way to go, or what you really want to do.

It can be all consuming not wanting to get it wrong!

Here’s the good news - the only way you can move forward, is to try!

"The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be." -Ralph Waldo Emerson.

So what are you deciding? #2mmshift #career #accountability #mindset #mindsetiseverything #justdoit #whywait #ownit #masteryourpotential #masteryourmind #haveitall #highperformance #highperformancecoaching #executivecoaching #change #changeyourlife ...

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂!!!

You can think of thousands of reasons why you shouldn’t do something.

Every time your inner critic will back it up with “evidence”.

Jane stood looking at her reflection in the bathroom. In 20 mins, she is giving a presentation to Senior Managers in her business.

She is terrified....thoughts racing through her mind.
“What are you doing here, you don’t deserve it!”
“Look at you! You know they will only pretend to listen to be polite.”

Continuously, the inner critic rages....

Five mins left, she is nervous, sweating now......her hands are shaking. In two moments she will be physically sick.

She had talked herself into near cognitive shutdown. How can she possibly face them like this?

Perhaps this sounds familiar?

The truth is that public speaking is the Number One fear of many professionals.

It can be crippling and when we are in it, we don’t know why.

Here is how it happens.

Too often we get caught up in our inner monologue.

Not referring to what we “know”.

Forgetting that we have the skills, the knowledge and the attitude to speak the words in authority, and truth.

Then well meaning people make statements that do not help.

So of course what they say must be right and you tell yourself that you can’t do it anymore.

Here’s the kicker! The simple truth to set you free!

Ready?

You can change it, in fact it was you that created the fear in the inner monologue initially.....therefore you can undo it!

You have everything that you need to deflate the critic. Defeat it and shut it down for good.

So while it might be convenient to listen to the thousand reasons why you shouldn’t do something.

To listen to the raging voice inside your head.

You have been granted freedom of choice.

Choose wisely:
* the crippling critic, or
* the confidence in yourself.

The critic is silenced by acknowledging it, not running from it.

Like a bully, it can be undermined with opposing self talk.

Simple statements:
“I am prepared.”
“This will be easy.”
“I can’t wait to show them what I have.”

80 days have passed in 2021!

Your life is a representation of what you will , and will not, accept.
It may be hard to admit that when you look in the mirror....it doesn’t change it’s truth. We are walking representatives for our own truths.
Will Durant had it spot on!
For us to move into something better, our standards should be reviewed.

What story does your mirror display? It is time to change it?

Rewarding yourself is key.
The cycle of life can be overwhelming when we forget to pause. That’s why we play.
As adults, we forget about the value of play and get way too serious with being mature. It decreases our joy and reduces our flow.
So find a reason to dress in your favourite clothes and spend time doing something fun. Your mindset will thank you. #mindset #play #adultplaytime #highperformancecoach #livelovelaugh #sparkles #loveyourself ...

You know you have been to UPW when....
#unleashyourpowerwithin #tonyrobbins #upw2020virtual #upw2020 #mindset #mindsetiseverything #selflove #passion #loveyourself ...

13 months ago my life took a turn as I walked curiously into the UPW Sydney event.

I purposely went unprepared. I wanted the full experience. As Tony says....

To play full out!

I remember the disappointment of missing out on the firewalk because my babysitter was so sick that she was vomiting. I rushed home early!

It didn’t make a difference!!! The fire had been stoked and

LIFE WOULD NEVER BE THE SAME!!!

At every turn, there have been life changing events. Now at least 50 of my new friends are here again this year.

This is what I learned last year:
🔥 I had chosen to play small and didn’t realise
🔥 Life is happening FOR ME (this simple 2MM shift has had a profound impact on my vibration)
🔥 Thriving with your tribe is constant choice. The final thing:
I FREAKIN’ ROCK!!! And so do you! #upw #motivation #unleash #power #tonyrobbins #tonyrobbinsupw2020 #masteryourpotential #energy #fulfillment #love #loveyourself ...

As you rolled out of bed this morning, what was the first thing that you thought of?

Was it your:
phone for social media likes and comments?
email from your boss?
partner's reaction last night?
image of professionalism and success?
failure from yesterday?

There are so many good reasons for doing what we do every day. No matter what it is, your contribution matters.

However, our need for acceptance has exponentially increased in line with our busyness. 🤔

We have forgotten who we are: nowadays seeking reassurance from others. Often from anyone....and we give it meaning because we need it so much.

The consequence of this is easy to predict. You can already see it everywhere.

The only acceptance that matters is your acceptance of yourself. Others will always see you how they want to.

Consider taking Stephen Covey's advice this week and focus on your circle of control - you.

Lecrae has the ultimate story of turning himself around from seeking the approval of others - to finally learning to be accepting of who he is....and it set him free.

Perhaps it's time that you make the 2MM shift and do the same!! #motivation #motivationtechniques #lecrae #innerself #selflove #potential #love #truth #reality #lifequotes #heroes #highperformancehabits ...

𝐅𝐄𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍?

It's a winter's day. The temperature is dropping, the rain is coming in more ways than one.

Another day to weather the storm of life.

Uncertainty is everywhere, and it is becoming so common it's practically palpable. Nothing can be predicted at the moment.

Everyone is unsure of what is next. In big businesses jobs are being lost. In homes, relationships are under strain and you go about every day wondering.

𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦 ℎ𝑜𝑙𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝐼 𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑣𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑏𝑙𝑜𝑤?

Ultimately, it's up to you....

Because like it or not, you own how you view the world and your response to what happens in it.

You determine how you will cope and whether breaking point has finally been reached.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻?

That a mini meltdown does not mean failure?

That everyone has days where they feel like they just cant cope.

Then they fall.......and get back up!

We are not droids. We feel. We empathise. We fear, just like we are supposed to.

Feelings are a gift, created to allow us to express ourselves in who we are and what we are going through.

So while courageousness and strength are traits worth experiencing - you will never be that all of the time.

You're not supposed to be impenetrable. You are human.

So if today is one of those days where you just can't....be kind to yourself.

Allow yourself to feel so that you can once again be back to your best self.

Feelings are there for a reason. Work with them so they can work with you too. #coaching #highperformancehabits #mindset #mindsetiseverything #mindsetmatters #kindnessmatters #pray #prayer #rest #breathe

😈 So you threw it away?👣

In the environment that I grew up in, the word potential was never used as encouragement.

It was that word used in school report cards that outlined a #𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲.

Failure to listen, failure to be all that you could be. Failure to conform.

It had quite negative connotations associated with it.
.
Potential was saved for the rich kids wearing the NIKE’s and the ADIDAS. The ones who had money at the canteen. They got all of the breaks. If you weren’t one of those kids, you had to work hard to just be seen
.
Yet, in adult hood many of the rich kids I knew haven’t used their potential.
.
They have the same everyday jobs, they struggle with life and dissatisfactions.
.
I attended a Neuro Linguistics conference early in my corporate career and for the first time I understood that
.
𝗣𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲❗️
.
Everyone has it - almost all of us NEVER live up to it. The majority of us will throw it away..

Though there is plenty of time to complain:
“𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘴!“
.
Why would you want to waste something that is gifted to you? It’s insane!!!
.
People are #afraid. Filtering all of the information that comes into our brains with phrases like:
“I will do that when (add event) happens.”
“I will get around to it.”
“That’s not for me, I am not that person.”
.
Your procrastination and lack of #belief will see your dreams lost……while someone else will live theirs. 💥
.
For those of us who dare to dream, we limit ourselves with our sub conscious..
.
“𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘴𝘰 𝘣𝘢𝘥. 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘱𝘶𝘵 𝘶𝘱 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘪𝘵, 𝘐 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦.“

“𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘫𝘰𝘣 𝘪𝘴 𝘖𝘒. 𝘐𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘧 𝘐 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘪𝘵 - 𝘪𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭.“

“𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧? 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘊𝘖𝘝𝘐𝘋!“

The truth is that most of your #dreams 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙚!!

You will overthink them, over analyse them….and ultimately you will end up old and wishing for your youth to do it all over again.
.
Let that sink for a moment…….you use or lose your potential!!! ...

Clarity
Often overlooked and not given attention, clarity provides direction to live your best life.
By spending time in reflection, your inner most self becomes known. It speaks your desires and knowledge.
You are your no. 1 priority!
Give yourself the time you need to flourish.
Because we all have a future so bright that we have to wear shades.
#mindset #coach #performance #future #clarity #hpxlife ...

The only way to move forward is to remove the past and all of it’s baggage.
We need to let go of the blame that keeps us tied to a history that doesn’t serve our future.
Society will encourage you to make your happiness someone else’s responsibility. It’s not!

So let go of the shackles of the past and embrace a life of freedom.
Leave behind the history to focus on creating your brightest future. Those who are meant to, will join you and those that don’t aren’t meant to.

Thrive in chaos.

Ignore the negativity. Shift to whats in your control - your mind.

Negativity = stress = unhappiness = disease
#coach #mindfulness #mindset #highperformance #nostress ...

Your certainty is probably a bit unstable at the moment, to say the least. All of the sudden, there can be a lot that you have to digest.
We can still have certainty over things that we can control. Simple consistencies like eating can be useful for you to have clarity and a sense of calm.

I know that I feel better when I conquer simple things. Today the donut didn’t win - I did!
Clarity will reinforce your mindset in the midst of a storm.

Let’s exercise our choice of free will. We don’t have to worry, stress or freak out! Instead choose to prevail! Choose awareness over crisis! Precautions over worry! Most of all - practice connection over isolation. Reach out! Connection is only a message away. #covid_19 #victory #wewillprevail #motivation #energy #love #enlightenment #choice #choices ...
