‘It’s not a good time.’
Means it’s the BEST time to get coaching.
This is your brain saying, “I’m not ready to be uncomfortable. Let’s keep doing this uncomfortable but familiar crap you keep going through.”
And you listen to this part of your brain.
We all do, on some level.
This is the primitive part of your brain that likes to:
•keep you safe from change
•stay in the familiar even if the familiar is painful
•continue doing the same stuff that makes you feel like crap because it’s efficient and easy
•think the reason you don’t want to start coaching is because ‘it’s not a good time’
The real reason is because your brain is scared.
It’s not your fault.
Brains are built to keep you from all the scary crap that COULD happen.
They are built for efficiency.
They like to do the same thing over and over and over again.
It’s why you’re scrolling FB right now.
FB scrolling is safe, efficient, and gives little hits of dopamine which are like candy to your brain.
What your brain doesn’t like is you saying:
•I don’t want to stay in this familiar crap anymore AND I’m going to do something about it
•I’m ready for the unknown
•I’m taking the leap
•I’m going to leave safety and trust I can show up for myself differently
•I won’t say no to myself anymore
•I’ve decided to stop listening to my brain say ‘next time’
You can become aware of your primitive brain and say:
•Brain, I’m done letting you keep me in the same safe, small game I’ve been playing for years now
•It’s time for me to show up for myself with zero apologies
•We can do this, Brain, you and me, we can break out of the small, safe game and into the unknown.
•No more saying no to myself
When you become aware of your primitive brain you…
Use the pre-frontal cortex of your brain to see what’s going on in the survival, fight or flight part of your brain.
This is the magical and miraculous part of your brain that God gave humans
To become aware of their lower brain and make new choices and new neural pathways
Your primitive brain is you on autopilot
Your pre-frontal cortex is you deciding to be fully awake piloting your life
Notice your primitive brain.
Is it helping your life to keep saying ‘now isn’t a good time?”
Stop putting off the YOU you’re meant to be
Stop saying later will be better
Because your brain will tell you that same story from now til the end of time
No time is a good time
No time will be less busy
No time will be less messy
No time will magically reveal it to you as ‘this is finally the moment’
In the interim, your life will keep going
A year from now you’ll be saying the same thing
Unless, you decide your brain is trying to keep you safe for the third year in a row
And this freakin year isn’t going to be the fourth year you say “it’s not a good time!!”
Decide to quit being on autopilot
This year is your year to stop being too busy.
This is your year to decide ‘now is exactly the right time’
This is YOUR YEAR.
Warrior, it’s your time.
Message me if you’re done saying ‘it’s not a good time’ and you’re ready to say ‘now is exactly the right time.”
