Radical Self Belief

More than ever in this world we need to come together, strong in ourselves to add value and co-create, support and contribute. To a unique level that fosters real interdependence.

To do this requires a deep sense of self belief - a radical one. Not an arrogance or overbearing martyrdom - but a curiosity, an inner confidence and a calm that comes with experience.

One where you can tap into the unique strengths you possess intellectually, emotionally and physically. In doing so, be a vital piece of the puzzle leading in any area of life.

I call this Radical Self Belief.

If you've followed me on LinkedIn or Instagram you will have been up to speed with the recent month or two, the fact I have been focusing on my core business coaching and being there for my parents during a difficult phase in their life, one we all must traverse. 2 wonderful important roles for me.  

This particular time has road tested my own tools -  the true meaning of work/life blend, of family, and legacy for sustainable success:

a) the importance of self mastery (mental, emotional, physical)

b) being really present

c) harnessing the rule of Oxygen Mask first

d) practicing grace and humility to listen and be there for others (see the second video below - how to help others in time of need).

I'd like to focus today on reminding you - you can create your own radical self belief.

In fact to flourish, thrive and be happy and productive I highly recommend you put time and energy into cultivating this aspect - everything you need actually lies within.

This comes by choice not by chance.

What I have noticed on team coaching calls or virtual events I may speak at - during the Q&A people are always asking for the right thing to do. What is the secret to vitality, success and happiness or energy or this "confidence".  The answer:

You are.

My observation: Despite all the tools available to us on mindset and mental and physical high performance - the need to search outside ourselves to feel balanced and grounded is increasing. Placing us in completely the wrong direction for what sits right within.

Let me set the scene for a second - a little pit stop to where self belief is challenged: Are you experiencing:

1. Overwhelm, anxiety and fundamental fear of making a decision without asking the advice of someone else? A lack of trust and faith in your own plans or ideas?
2. The need to chronically "search for the solution" - consuming information/podcasts/events/network groups/books/videos and advice in the hope of a magic bullet moment that will turn everything around - that THIS will be it?
3. Deepening fears about business, finance, family and future plans as uncertainty in travel, routines, basic day to day activities, healthcare, budgets and a global health crisis turns everything upside down.
4. The ability to make everything look fine and fabulous on the surface but underneath it all you're frustrated and concerned that you won't get your personal, emotional or financial mojo back? That the old passion, spark and drive is just so much harder to find?

You can turn this around.

You don't need wads of cash or heavy coaching and certification - you need to start backing yourself - on purpose, with conviction EVERY DAY.

- You have access to it all and you also have access to ask others around you who are experts in their areas to co-create, contribute and collaborate as well.

- You have the answers all along - trust, faith. The fact is it takes more than knowing this. It means practicing it. This takes dedication and commitment to learn and feel what that actually looks like in day to day life.

Radical Self Belief means building your positive self sufficiency

We don't need to be experts at everything - but we do need to make informed decisions.

More than ever we it is crucial to reaffirm that as individuals, we have so much to add. You are already enough.

• To stop looking outward for solutions and advice but to slow down the mind and body and realise that everything we need is sitting right here.
• To be curious yes, to learn yes. But importantly to apply the skills.
• Tangible, accessible, trustworthy and reliable skills and knowledge. Learn and apply, over time and by experience.

Radical Self Belief Creates Incredible Results - Seamlessly.

Interdependence is what builds our societies and our cultures in a positive sustainable aspect.

You can't create an amazing picture with soggy pieces of a puzzle. Each puzzle element needs to be unique but strong in structure so it can interlock with others and hold it's own integrity. It is interdependent with the other.

So are we. Sovereign in our own right - distinct in so many ways - but a shared mindset and perspective can create incredible unions in projects and partnerships.

To have RADICAL SELF BELIEF is a daily practice

Your body, mind and soul know EXACTLY what is best and an inner GPS is there to unlock - if only you would slow down long enough to hear what it is telling you.

- It requires a methodical commitment to making time and space to hear your intuition above your ego

- It demands a sense of pioneering purpose on even the smallest wishes and ideas to give them ago

- It will change your life when you change your mindset to realise the entire purpose on this planet is to realise we are all made with a unique ability to shine in our own right and collaborate and co-create with genuine success and sustainable results when allowed the room to thrive rather than survive.

Just to clarify - you can not be GIVEN the time to do this. You must make the decision to back yourself and do the work.

"Reasons" for not committing to back yourself, avoiding putting the time and mindset into doing so, are actually excuses. A subconscious saboteur - one that hangs onto your fear of change vs actually following your gut instinct.

How do you know when you start backing yourself?

Radical self belief is quiet and knowing. It is grounded, kind and agile. It is not forceful, arrogant or pushy.

- I always ask my clients to describe the feeling they have when things are in flow and they can feel truly connected in their day or a decision.

- To harness that and create more of that feeling. That is the new normal.

Right now, right here - if only we can slow down, tap into our truest resources, back our crazy ideas and allow life to flow with radical self belief.

So what's next?  Go slow, be present, honour your vital ingredients for a healthy mind and body and be super aware of the little patterns of sabotage. Subtle changes create a massive shift. Give it a go.
