“I must fill up all my time with activity, whether it be work, housework, going out, working out, learning, practicing…..”
That was my inner narrative for years until I burnt out and couldn’t do that any more.
I grew up around busy people and was so used to having busy people around me that it was what I considered “normal”.
It would be WRONG/BAD to do things a different way, I labeled myself LAZY or think that I couldn’t possibly achieve anything in life without that way of being.
And even when my body started to complain, I’d push my mind, more learning, more experience, more qualifications until my mind also went into burnout, started to feel foggy, and wouldn’t be as alert as it used to be.
And yet I continued…..
My identity was tied into being an “energizer bunny”… what was I without that title, without the “achiever”, without the “smart one”, the “fast thinker”, the person who could just keep going, was strong, was fast, was talented and able to manifest pretty instantly….
Until… I had no choice but to change my ways because the path out of burnout was not to “fix it” and continue as I had done before, but to change what I’d taken on as my identity…
Who I was had to shift from all the things that were wearing and breaking me down, to where I could see deeper into my value, the deeper essence of me, and where I could relax and be at peace with what I brought to the world without stressing about what others thought of me.
I decided that trusting the real energy of me, without the conditioning of what I had taken on over years of life experience, be it, trauma, events, people surrounding me, or even self-abuse (eg diets, harsh regimens, “have to’s”), was more important than making money, showing a lavish life and keeping up with what I perceived was others lifestyles.
I went deeper into what I truly desired and became really certain about it.
Essentially, I allowed breathing space to explore and discover my true success criteria.
Once I allowed that…… there was and still is a period of readjustment, recovering of energy I’d never actually remembered having, and my mind and body started to tell me in a much clearer way what it required and when I was out of sync again.
How many of you are also on this journey?
Now my story is similar to many and this type of life conditioning can happen in many areas of life.
From business, general lifestyle, relationships, health, and even spiritual paths.
The common denominator is that your identity needs to shift to create deep, long-lasting change.
Often we’ll try changing just the things we do, or do affirmations, fake happiness, and take some time out…..
But these although can make you feel better short term, will not take you back into your essence, because that is still buried under the conditioning and identity you created.
What if you could unhook from all these patterns?
What if you could connect to your true essence and create an identity for yourself that is in true alignment with your true essence?
What if you could awaken your real self and experience the unbridled power of living from there each day?
That is the type of thing that my clients and I work together to bring in.
The results they are looking for always stem from the inside, and it is from there that we unlock and unleash the magic that is them.
I have 1 more slot available this year to work with me for 4 months to make this magic a reality for you.
If you think you are ready to let go of the old identity that doesn’t serve you and discover your true self and how that can be expressed in the world with ease, with joy, and bringing peace into your life, book a consultation and let’s see just how much fun we could have in this deep dive explorative container.
