This year I paid off ALL of my debt including my mortgage
and made a BIG financial investment in myself.
I was poop-my-pants-nervous to take that kind of risk, so I asked my husband what he thought. 💩
Normally I don’t ask him things like this… but as a bestie-
I wanted his opinion…. wellllllll,
💥Truth bomb💥
I didn’t want his opinion-at all
I wanted confidence, certainty.
…and I wanted him to GIVE it to me.
He responded, “Are you sure? … for that kind of investment, you should really be sure.“
My answer was NO (and so was his) – I mean, I’m not 1000% sure…
BUT I never am.
🧠 My brain (left to it’s own devices) incessantly. Questions. EVERYTHING.
It’s very dramatic like… If you make this decision you will DIE and EVERYTHING will be your fault…
Thanks brain, not helpful.
If I waited to be “sure” about every “big” decision I make, or even worse, waited for someone to give me the confidence-I literally wouldn’t do anything…
I’d be completely stuck. (I remember those days)
Then, YOU GUYS, it hit me 👊 🎯❤️
THAT was a huge piece of my own SLP Burnout Recovery
Being willing to make a decision even though I wasn’t 1000% sure (because I never would be)..
Being open to a suggestion and trying it even when my cynical, critical mind wanted to dismiss it in righteousness (and hide).
I learned to
- Take a leap (feel like I’m going to crap my pants) – I’m serious AND yes, I have the sense of humor of a third grader 💩💩💩🤣
- Make a decision😬
- Try something 🙌
- Decide to love myself no matter what❤️❤️❤️
- Rinse and Repeat 💪💪💪⭐️
Your life is a result of your decisions over time…Problem is- most people seriously struggle with making decisions.
I teach a process where in a matter of 1 session you can start to feel more confident and grounded about your decisions by learning how to generate certainty from within no matter how much you (and others) doubt.
…and I am NO magical unicorn 🦄 here- I’m a regular-ass SLP (person) who learned some skills and practiced them.
You can do this too.
How much longer will you wait to… start creating the career and life you want.
Deep bow to you. As always, sending hugs and love
