How Annie Got Her Groove Back - and how you can too! (A lovely success story!)
Have you ever cheated - on yourself?
You know - say you’re going to DO something, but then don’t. “Never get around to it”.
By the time I meet most of my clients, they’ve cheated on themselves HUNDREDS (maybe thousands) of times…
They SAY they want it really bad, but something else always comes up.
And I get it - life gets lifey. We get busy. Time gets away from us.
We mindlessly go through our days until we get to the end of the month & remind ourselves, “OMG! I promised myself I was going to ________”
- Lose 10 pounds
- Get 3 new clients
- Create a social media strategy.
All of those things are hard, sucky, and uncomfortable. No wonder our brains put ‘em out of our head.
But let’s be real with ourselves: THIS is what CHEATING on yourself looks like.
Ultimately - we begin to doubt ourselves.
Sure, sure I want that thing. I want it SO bad.
SO why do I never DO anything about it?
WE make shitty choices, and we cheat on ourselves.
THINK ABOUT THIS: if someone in your life cheated on you over & over again, would you TRUST that person?
IF someone you dealt with every single day on an intimate level let you down over & over, would you TRUST that person?
Of course not.
And this is why you have doubts about whether you can move forward.
I can tell you a million stories about how I do this to myself - but let me introduce you to Annie Taylor, of Annie Taylor Designs, a client who struggled with this.
Annie’s got a TON of interests & several business ideas. Like most of my clients, she is multi-passionate, heart-centered, highly sensitive entrepreneur.
She sells products - and for her, selling felt really terrible. For a long time, her story was, “I don’t want to bother anyone with my stuff.”
She doubted that…
- people really wanted her stuff
- her products were useful
- she could sell and still feel in alignment with herself
- she could be in business AND still take care of her family.
These doubts are created by deep-seated beliefs in our minds. We aren’t conscious of them, often.
Coaching helps reveal these damaging thoughts, and what Annie discovered was:
She was self-sabotaging, hiding from her business.
And every time she made a shitty choice, it proved her doubtful thoughts TRUE.
When we hide from what we really want, we get disastrous results, which become evidence.
For this client, when she hid from her business, no one bought her products. Which only created the evidence that…
- No one wants her stuff
- Her products aren’t useful
- She can’t sell
- And she can’t do business AND take care of a family.
What was her outcome?
(This is incredibly hard to do on our own. It’s why I have both a coach AND a therapist.)
Once she got clear, she could be in alignment. Make better choices!
And start to show up in ways that serve her! Sell her stuff. Even create new lines of products & got IN THE FLOW!
It made her feel ALIVE again to be creative and be working on her goals & business from a place that felt so good!
You’ve cheated on yourself a lot. You don’t make your goal a priority. You say you want something but your actions prove the opposite to be true.
I say all this with love - because when we can admit it, THEN we start to move forward.
I’m not judging you. It’s Ok. It’s where you are now. You’re currently in an untrustworthy relationship…
WITH YOURSELF.
When you admit this truth, you can let go of a whole bunch of shit living in your head.
What does it feel like to say, “OMG. I’ve been cheating on myself.”?
Just say it. There’s something you want - and you haven’t gotten it yet, it’s because you’ve been cheating - and now you don’t trust yourself.
That’s IT. The end.
Nothing need to judge yourself. No need to beat yourself up.
That’s just the circumstance: it’s the current state of affairs.
And it can change right now.
But you’re the only one who can decide.
Aren’t you tired of looping around and around with the same thoughts? I WAS!
I can teach you how to get out of those “stuck” thoughts. Get what you want. Reveal what’s underneath.
If you already knew HOW, you’d be doing it. If you already knew WHY, you’d be doing it.
I got tired enough of my own bullshit to invest time, energy, and money into working with someone who will bring me where I want to go…
Hold me accountable…
And help me be nicer to myself - while not letting me get away with any bullshit.
Be done with your bullshit. Break the pattern & achieve what you want…
Get on my calendar. I set aside time for Breakthrough Sessions so you can learn what’s in your way and HOW to go get it.
Xo, Jen
