Harsh inner critic? You are not alone!

Many of us have a harsh inner critic.

We tend to judge our thoughts, feelings, and actions in a negative way that beats us down, exhausts us, and does not motivate us to grow or learn. This can lead to chronic anxiety, imposter syndrome, and depression.

One of the ways to grow in this area is to understand the importance of shifting your mind’s focus from a negative attack on yourself to a supportive assessment that allows for learning and growth.

So many of us constantly think, “I am the problem. Something is wrong with me. I am not capable. I am just not good enough.” This is so painful! And completely untrue! It also does not serve us in any way.

However, learning to review our thoughts, feelings, actions, and outcomes with the mindset of what we can learn instead of how did we screw this up, is a total game changer! When we evaluate with curiosity and desire to learn and grow, this helps us to keep taking action and moving towards our goals.

It takes time and work to stop the blame game and the self-judgment. But it’s worth it to feel less pain and anxiety and to experience more compassion, curiosity, and growth. And the great part is that you can start right now. It may take time to develop a new default mindset, but you can start making positive changes that will help you today!

Want to learn how to say no?

Because that is exactly what it takes, learning!

Learning how people pleasing and seeking outside validation create barriers to saying no.

Learning when and why you want to say no.

Learning what is truly important to you so you can confidently say no.

Your identity, vision, and core values guide you on when to say no and give you confidence in that decision. But many of us do not even know what those are for us. They are so entangled in our beliefs that we are not good enough and our desire to prove ourselves wrong through the validation of others.

But if you really want to say no, start to learn about yourself. What do you love? What do you value? What are your goals? Create new filters for when and why you choose to do things. Ones that are not based in self-judgment and limiting beliefs.

If this sounds like a lot, that is okay! It is a big change! Try working with a coach (like me!) to help you rewire your negative beliefs and learn new beliefs to help you achieve your goals.

ARE YOU STRUGGLING?

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

Everyone struggles. This is a fact of life.

I struggle. You struggle. Our heroes and heroines struggle!

And yet so often when we struggle, we self-isolate. We judge and criticize ourselves and dismiss our experience. This makes us feel broken and wrong. So, then we refuse to share our struggles or ask for help. This only serves to increase our suffering.

“What is wrong with you? Pull it together!”

Can you imagine saying that to anyone who was struggling besides yourself? OUCH!

This is why the second element of self-compassion, common humanity, is so important! We each have our own unique path to walk in this life, but we all face struggles. It is unavoidable. And it unites us.

I do not know your exact struggle, but I know struggle intimately. You do not know my struggle but if I said to you, “I am in pain! I am struggling!” You would know what I meant!

You are not alone. You are not broken. Nothing is wrong with you. Everyone struggles. And everything changes. This struggle will change. But you do not have to just wait through it and suffer alone. Talk to your loved ones. Learn about self-compassion. Work with a therapist or a coach. (Or both! I have!) Do whatever you need to love and support yourself.

Remember your common humanity, that second element of self-compassion, let it provide support and comfort in those times of struggle. You are not alone.

Love,
Lisa

I am really bad at this!
I am bad at math.
I am not good at sales.
I am not a good writer.
Do you create your identity by judging yourself?
Our identity is just a set of thoughts. Thoughts that we can choose. But many times, we use our thoughts about who we are as just another method of self-judgment and constant inner criticism.
The set of beliefs you have about who you are as a person, your identity, can be limiting beliefs that hold you back. Or you can choose thoughts/beliefs to support and guide you, to move you closer to your goals, and even to enhance your enjoyment of life.

How you see yourself can be a great source of strength and comfort or it can keep you feeling stuck and dissatisfied. As a Coach, I work side by side with my clients to help them do the deep work to identify and then reprogram self-limiting negative beliefs into ones that support and serve them. It takes work and practice but it’s worth it!

You can also learn more about this topic on the podcast, Manage Anxiety with Confidence: Love This B***h.

The mindset or belief that we can do hard things is very beneficial for us when facing challenges and setting and achieving goals.

Recently on the podcast Manage Anxiety with Confidence: Love This B***h, I discussed how to cultivate this helpful mindset.

In the first episode, I Can Do Hard Things pt 1, I talk about the importance of noticing when we are “shoulding on” ourselves and our abilities with the thought “THIS SHOULD BE EASY.” Ever had that thought? Me too! Unfortunately, this thought undermines our belief that we can do hard things. Check out part 1 to learn more.

In part 2, I discuss how dismissing the times we have done hard things and our achievements is a disservice to ourselves and also undermines our belief in our abilities. IMPOSTER SYNDROME, ANYONE? I explain how celebration and self-compassion help us to support ourselves and build a mindset that we can do anything, including hard things!

New Year, New Me

Fun saying, but I'm not a fan.

Here’s why:
🌟You are one of a kind. There is no one like you. There is nothing wrong with you. You do not need to be a “new” or different you.

🌟Change & growth are best from a place of love & acceptance of who you are right now.

🌟Change works best by making small changes that allow consistency. A whole lifestyle overhaul is not maintainable.

Setting goals from self-judgment is setting yourself up for failure, which will lead to more judgment & pain. Loving & accepting who you are allows you to enjoy the process of achieving your goals. Making changes with self-love, meaning you want to learn & grow because you enjoy it & its benefits (not because you hate the way you are) makes the journey a wonderful experience. You learn about yourself & how to support yourself to achieve goals. This way, there is no failure, only feedback.

When setting goals for 2023, remember these 3 things:

Ask - Take some time to think about why you want to achieve your goal. Is it because you dislike something about yourself? How do the reasons make you feel physically? Does it feel good or bad? Look for goals that you are excited about with reasons that make you feel good.

Example, if you want to start a yoga practice. Is it because, “I hate my body” or “I want to find a movement practice I enjoy”?

Plan - Remember consistency is more important than intensity. Make an action plan that fits your schedule & is quick and easy. Do not start with hour long yoga sessions 5 days a week. Instead try 10 minutes, 3 days a week.

Support - Make sure to support yourself, not judge yourself. If you don't follow the plan perfectly, that is fine! Ask yourself why. Ask what you need to make sure you do the next session. Reach out to a supportive friend. Tell them your plan & engage their help. Try a coach. Coaches provide support & accountability. And help you uncover the thoughts & beliefs holding you back.

If you are interested in working with me as your Coach, I would be thrilled to support you. Link in bio.

Happy New Year!

New Year, New Me

It's a fun saying, I am not hating on it. But I am not a fan.

Here’s why:

You are one of a kind. There is no one like you. There is nothing wrong with you. You do not need to be a “new” or different you.

✨Change and growth are best when they come from a place of love and acceptance of who you are, as you are, right now.

✨Sustainable change works best by making small changes that allow you to be consistent. A whole lifestyle overhaul is not maintainable.

✨Setting goals or resolutions from a place of self-judgment is setting yourself up for failure, which will lead to more self-judgment and pain. Loving and accepting who you are, as you are, allows you to enjoy the process of achieving your goals. Making changes from a place of self-love, meaning you want to learn and grow because you enjoy it and it benefits you (not because you hate the way you are), makes the journey a wonderful experience. You learn more about yourself and how to support yourself to achieve goals. This way, there is no failure, only feedback.

This year when setting resolutions or 2023 goals, remember these 3 things:

ASK - Take some time to think about why you want to achieve your goal. Is it because you dislike something about yourself or your life? How do the reasons make you feel physically when you think of them? Does it feel good or bad? Look for goals that you are excited about. That your reasons make you feel good in your body.
Example, let’s say you want to start a yoga practice. Are you doing it because, “I hate my body” or “I want to take care of my body. I want to find a movement practice I enjoy”?

PLAN - Remember consistency is more important than intensity. Make an action plan that fits your schedule and is quick and easy. Do not plan to start with an hour long yoga session 5 days a week. Try something like 10 minutes, 3 days a week.

SUPPORT - Make sure to support yourself, not judge yourself. If you don't follow the plan perfectly, that is fine! Ask yourself why. Ask what you need to make sure you do the next session.
Reach out to a supportive friend. Tell them your plan and engage their help.
Try a coach. Coaches are an amazing asset for support and accountability. But they also help you dig deep to discover the thoughts & beliefs that are holding you back from achieving your goals.

If you are interested in working with me as your Coach, I would be thrilled to support you. Set a Connection call through this link and we can chat about it. https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=20041725&appointmentType=21324511

I wish you all a Happy New Year! Have fun, stay safe. Please share your goals and resolutions in the comments!

Being a perfectionist was a nightmare for me.

It stopped me from putting anything out there and really being proud of anything.

My work. My confidence. My happiness. My well being. My mental health. Everything shattered because it wasn't "perfect".

It came to the point that it was paralyzing. A point where I was so miserable that I thought something was deeply wrong with me. I started to think I was broken.

I had a lot of anxiety. I was depressed. I was diagnosed with Inattentive ADHD in addition to my OCD.

I was so genuinely sick of stewing in misery that I asked for help.

I spoke to therapists. I took medications. I put on a mask to show the world and the people around me that I was okay. That I was happy.

🔴 But I wasn't. I was suffering. I was in pain. I was paralyzed by fear and judgement and the need to achieve "perfection".

After years and a lot of internal debating about investing (yet again) in myself, I started working with a coach.

And it was the best decision I ever made.

I'll be honest. It took a lot of work to get to the point I'm at right now. A lot of reflection and meditation. A lot of learning and understanding. A lot of vulnerability.

But you know what else it took? A lot of strength to ask for help. A lot of courage to let down my walls to allow someone in to help me overcome perfectionist paralysis. A lot of trust in myself to believe that I AM WORTH IT. 🌈

I know you're in limbo, too. I know because I've been there. I know because I'm just like you. And if I can overcome anxiety, depression, and feeling paralyzed, so can you.

If you're sick and tired of living in the shadows of needing to be "perfect", then book a free consult with me thru the link in my bio to get started!

Merry Christmas everyone!

The holidays may trigger positive or negative emotions for you. Either way, I encourage you to practice allowing your feelings and being present with them.

If they are negative, show yourself compassion and support through this time. Remember to check in with what you're physically feeling in your body, so you can step out of your painful thoughts and into the present moment. Reach out to loved ones for support as well.

If they are positive, make sure to notice the physical sensations in your body as well. Do not let everything rush by. Take the time to enjoy your experience and practice gratitude.

All my love!

Lisa

We all have it in some form or fashion.

In one way or another, you're confident in something.

It could be your signature dish, your wardrobe, or even your stamp collection.

But how can you be more confident daily on other aspects of your life? Say, at work or your business?

Swipe ⬅ to find out!

It may seem impossible, but trust me, as a certified goofball who has made a LOT of mistakes in life and in biz, confidence CAN be built. Like a muscle that is regularly exercised, your confidence will be stronger and bigger than ever when you work on it!

If you want to live more confidently and radiate that confidence, then book a free consult with me through the link!

Self-limiting beliefs are holding you back from achieving your goals.

As an employee, you're missing out on that promotion and raise that you SO want.

As a coach or service provider, you're missing out on increasing your prices and scaling your biz. You're doing a disservice to your audience.

As a person, you're never fully present and living your best life with the people you care about the most in the world.

That's a lot of opportunities lost.

Investing in yourself is dedicating time, energy, and (sometimes) money into your growth and development.

So how do you start crushing those self-limiting beliefs on investing in yourself? 📌 this post for when you need it - and you will.

📚 Read inspiring and/or self-help books

There is a wealth of knowledge out there! There are so many eye-opening books that can help you start your journey to renewing your mindset.

🎧 Listen to podcasts

I'm a huge fan of podcasts. I started two of my own! Podcasts are great for auditory learners and perfect for commutes, during your downtime, and even when you're doing chores!

🖊 Sign up for free trainings and masterclasses

Free trainings, masterclasses, and bootcamps can be great sources of free value that is actionable and easy to experiment with. Which reminds me, I've got a BS Mindset Breakthrough Bootcamp that's free for you via the link on my bio. 😉

📣 Work with a coach

A lot of people find it difficult to stay consistent and on track when nobody is holding them accountable and guiding them. Working with a coach - like a life coach - can help you rework, retrain, and realign your mindset to serve you. As someone who not only is a Coach but has worked with coaches, I can tell you, it is well worth the investment!

There are a lot of ways to crush self-limiting beliefs on investing in yourself. Whether you're investing money in a coach or investing time studying free resources, the important part is that you're investing and dedicating time, energy and money for YOU.

It can be hard to learn to invest in yourself for once. But investing in yourself is the best thing you could EVER do for your well being. Book a free consult with me through the link if you're ready to start taking care of YOU.

This is something I encounter a lot with my clients. ⤵️

Most of us are wired/taught to believe the thoughts that come in our minds. Whether they're good or bad, we often take them as truths and they form our mindsets and conform to our mindsets!

🔴 Thoughts are ideas (really just strings of words in your head!) that create feelings that can stir up your beautiful mind and heart. They can be helpful thoughts like, "I'm damn good at what I do." But they can also be negative thoughts like, "This is happening to me because I don't deserve to be happy."

🔴 Truths, on the other hand, are concrete facts. The sky is blue. Water is wet.

Thoughts aren't always true but facts are undeniable.

Here is a simple example. Let's say you're talking with a friend and they made a comment about your hair. "That color is unprofessional." 💭

That's their thought. It is not a fact!

It doesn't have to be what YOU think and believe.

Stop and think about what YOU think of your hair. Are you happy with it? Do you like how you look with your new color? If the answers are yes, then why not choose those thoughts.

Now between those two thoughts, someone else's vs yours, which one serves you? Which makes you happy? Keep what makes you happy and let go of the one that doesn't serve you at all.

Why?

Because there is no reason to hold onto thoughts that don't do you any good, no matter where they originate. (Pro-tip: It does not even matter if they are true! SHOCKER!)

This is why teaching how to intentionally develop mindsets through thought work is so important for me with my clients. Without understanding and awareness of our thoughts and feelings, we tend to end up with mindsets that do not benefit us. Once a mindset is formed, it is very hard to see your way out!

But that's the beautiful thing about working with a coach to rewire your mindsets. You can learn to set yourself free from the control of negative thoughts and beliefs. You can CHOOSE to live boldly. You can CHOOSE to embrace every beautiful part of yourself. 🌟

And that's what I want for you. I want you to learn to love yourself, "flaws" included. I want you to live a vibrant, full life. I want you to learn to believe that YOU ARE WORTH IT.

I've been there myself before. I did not believe. I did not think things could change for me. But I learned tools that work. And I want to help you get out of that vicious cycle too. Hit the link to book a connection call!
