The route to success is NOT linear … 😬

And this is what catches most people out.

They think because something hasn’t gone to plan, they’ve had a set back… or they’ve failed
That this means they can’t do it.

But that’s just what your chimp brain wants you to think. 🙊🙈

Your chimp brain is negatively bias … which mean when something goes wrong it LOVES to use it at evidence to ‘prove’ you can’t do something.

But, there is a massive flaw with your chimp brain…
It has no logic, no critical thinking and no ability to look at that moment at feedback.

It works in all or nothing thinking.
Outcome, ego driven thinking.
It does not consider the process.

And the truth is that process is going to have some bumps in the road. That route to success is going to be continuous progression.

You ARE going to have days that are 2 steps forward and 10 steps back.
You ARE going to have messy middles, hard beginnings and have to keep going again and again when it gets tough
You ARE going to be nervous sometimes.
You ARE going to doubt yourself.

And that’s all normal.
And has nothing to do with whether you can do something or not.

Embrace the highs and learn from the lows.
Keep going.
Because that bumpy path is the right one 💛

Are you a cup half full or cup half empty kind of person ? ☕️

What if I told you ‘just being positive’ will only get you so far … because we have to be able to manage our thoughts, emotions and actions whatever the external situations.

We have to be able to manage frustration, disappointment, and failure.

We have to be able to manage whatever is in our cup.

And to do that, it starts with learning to manage your thoughts, habits and reactions….

Creating better systems that allow you to be in control of your cup 🥂☕️

My 3 top tips to controlling your cup …

1) awareness - become more aware of what is taking up space in your cup/your mind! Is it helpful? Is it true?

2) drain your cup- what can you get rid of? The quickest and easiest way is write down everything that is taking up space!

3) keep some space- writing down the simple things that are taking up brain space … like your to do’s is a really easy way to keep some space

I’ll feel more confident when…
…*insert outcome goal*🤦‍♀️

I hear this so much… and I’ve been guilty of this too, it is such an easy trap to fall into!

When I’ve got to ‘insert level’, I will feel more confident.
When I’ve achieve ‘insert goal’ then I will feel more confident.

But, here’s the thing.
Outcome goals on their own don’t actually build True confidence.

Why?
Because they don’t build the systems, foundations or habits that help you sustain confidence regardless of the outcome.

They don’t give you the tools to keep adding 1% to your confidence bank.

And they don’t give your brain consistent reassurance, they put you in ‘all or nothing’ thinking!

If you want to build TRUE CONFIDENCE in yourself…
Do one thing DAILY that the confident version of you would do?

How would she show up?
What would her thoughts be?
What would she focus on?

And repeat that thing, again and again and again until it becomes a habit.

Process. Systems. Habits.
They shape who you are.
They are how you become more confident!

Happy 1st of the month…

A new month often gives you new burst of motivation to chase your goals and dreams but, what about if you could feel this everyday!

Motivation isn’t something you can rely on if you are serious about achieving your goals, it’s important to create consistent habits and systems.

This allows you to build confidence, self esteem and internal motivation (focus on the process) !

Reducing the effects of perfectionism, comparison to others, and self sabotaging behaviours!

Do it now. Change or do one thing today that you can keep doing to help you achieve your goal.

Opportunities are everywhere, everyday 💪💭
