I had this lovely photo taken by Charlie and Michelle @youdeservethis for my coaching business and as another step in my own personal journey. 11 years ago I significantly changed my life, or to be more precise – my perspective. I am constantly evolving, but I made a conscious choice to ‘own’ my journey – to direct my life and to not just allow life to happen to me.
Part of that process was addressing my own issues, lack of self-confidence, poor body image, negative self-talk, a fear (read raging phobia) of public speaking, and a total lack of purpose!
I figured out my purpose and found something I am passionate about. I quit my 20 year corporate JOB, fire walked, moon walked, sky-dived , reclaimed myself. Became a coach and focused my energy on the empowerment of women (and everyone else!) – who are naturally very good at holding themselves back with their wild range of limiting beliefs. Fear limits your life to within your zone of comfort. I have pushed myself out of this zone constantly ever since– your life expands as you push your own boundaries. It feels amazing when you face your fears and overcome them.
The experience and process of accepting yourself -is being kind to yourself. Seeing yourself in a different light is something everyone should experience.
Trust me, everyone has limiting beliefs but you HAVE to push through. In the creation of this project I have battled and overcome the following: ‘who are you to do this’, ‘who cares’, ‘who will look’, ‘are you mad’, ‘are you good enough’. Resonate? The key is to do it anyway. Ignore the neggy naysayers, trolls, haters and detractors (most of whom are probably inside your head anyway) and focus on being the best version of yourself. It is SUCH a good feeling when you do.
