I have spent the last five years learning how to manage my mind.?It does not mean that i no longer worry.?Hell, it doesn't mean that I haven't been down right scared, but it has helped me not stay in that space for very long.?
I think of managing my mind as the key to elevating my life.?
The quality of it.?The impact of it.?The health of it.?
An elevated life is one where you have learned to tame worry.
Where you have learned to create more self trust.?
Where you have learned to interrupt the worry with a feeling that will fuel actions that will grow you not keep you spinning.?When we worry... ?
We overthink.
We fret
We buffer - over eat, over drink, over spend, over facebook
We create more discomfort to avoid the discomfort. (Cray, cray, I know)
Worry robs you of your chance to step into the next version of you.?The version that makes decisions based on love, not fear.?The version that hones your intuition?and stops crowd sourcing. The version that elevates all parts of your life.
For just a moment, imagine a life where you no longer worried.?Where freedom replaces worry.Where trust replaces worry. Where growth replaces worry.?I am not pretending that being out of control is easy to accept.?But, I am offering that spinning in worry when feeling out of control will do nothing to improve the situation.?Ask me how I know.
If you are finding yourself spinning in worry or mapping out all that could go wrong, I promise coaching is an effective antidote.? Not a band aid. Not "the answer." But a profound tool to help you tame the catastrophizing.
Happy to chat with you if you want to learn more.?
