Burn the Ships

There is a concept that one of the keys to reaching your goals is to eliminate any escape routes. It is tempting to retreat to safety and comfort when challenges and difficulties arise. To avoid turning around and abandoning your goals, you must make going forward more compelling than going back.

When striving towards a goal, you must focus on what you want to obtain and avoid the impulse to go back to what you know and to what is comfortable. It makes me think of Spanish Conquistador Hernando Cortez who landed in Mexico, one of his first orders to his men was to burn the ships.

Cortez was committed to his mission and did not want to allow himself or his men the option of going back to Spain. By removing this option, Cortez and his men were forced to focus on how they could make the mission successful.

Eliminating an escape route creates a compelling reason to focus on the goal and to keep moving forward. However, it is important to keep in mind that although Cortez had his men burn the ships, he did not have them burn the food and supplies.

Cutting off an escape route to increase motivation and create the desire to press on where you might otherwise give up is totally different from throwing caution to the wind and taking undue risks. 

Reaching your goals still requires prudent planning and managing. All goals contain a certain degree of risk, but it isn't necessary to create undue risk and stress by not properly planning and thus lacking the necessary tools and supplies to achieve your goal. Take risks, but don't be careless or foolish and simply hope that everything will be okay.

Before you decide to burn your ships, make sure you have the supplies and tools necessary to achieve the goal. Something like quitting your job might sound like a good way to close the escape route, but it might also be a fast way to bankruptcy if you don't have resources to carry you through.

Creating a savings account or having a journey job (a job that is a stepping stone to what you really want) allows you to take the risk of leaving your current job without creating undue risk. 

Close off the escape routes and make sure that you have a compelling reason to move forward. However, at the same time, make sure that you plan for the risk and have the tools, supplies, and resources you need to achieve your goals.

You can't eliminate risk but you can plan for it. Don't just jump in without thinking through the process and having a solid plan for moving forward. And don’t let overthinking or overplanning stop you from taking action.

Such fine lines we dance within!

Stuck in a Rut?

Do you feel like you’re stuck in a rut?

You may have tried everything to get out of it but nothing seems to work. Maybe your life is just too overwhelming and stressful, or maybe there are some things that keep holding you back from living the life you want.

Whatever "IT" is, I can help! And I'll tell you how. I specialize in getting to the root cause of all of your issues. ALL OF THEM. At the DEEPEST level so you can experience the BIGGEST transformation.

When you work with me, we will clear away your most limiting beliefs so that you can finally live the life that YOU want.

We all have limiting beliefs at a subconscious level. These subconscious beliefs hold us back from achieving our goals and having the life we truly want.

What this means is that even though you may have goals or dreams, if your subconscious mind created beliefs that stop you from feeling safe to achieve them, it will actually stop you from believing you can have them or deserve them, or that you are smart enough or good enough, then it will do everything to stop you from moving outside of what it knows to be safe.

But that is not how you want to live, is it?

Not if you are reading my blogs or know who I am! You want to really LIVE and enjoy most of the moments while doing it!

When we remove these limiting beliefs, we allow for more ease and flow in our lives which means less stress and anxiety as well as more happiness and fulfillment. It just happens naturally, you don't even have to put effort into it most of the time.

The work I facilitate allows you to be happier with yourself, your work, all the stuff which leads to better relationships with others (friends/family) as well as success at work. You'll have more presence to be in the moment, be more patient and less critical with yourself and others (they will appreciate this a LOT)

It'll also make you more fun to be around because when you aren't held back by all these negative emotions then suddenly anything becomes possible, you'll inspire people!

Become free-flowing beings who enjoy every moment of our lives instead of being bogged down by negativity, worry, fear etc...

Isn't this what you really want? To truly enjoy your life?

Don’t wait any longer...it's time for a change!

Nothing has worked?

Have you tried everything, but nothing has worked?

I know that feeling all too well. When it became clear I was dealing with anxiety and depression I was on a mission to try to fix myself.

I think I tried everything to get rid of anxiety, but there wasn't one thing that worked. I took medication and talked to several therapists (and when I say several, I mean I even had multiple at one time) -- while some of it helped in the moment, it was not the solution and something told me they were simply not getting to the root of the issue. Honestly, it was either masking the issue or digging up stuff that made me feel worse or sorry for myself.

Once I realized there was something deeper, I wanted to address the issue at the core, so I started digging. After practicing dozens of techniques and studying with some of the top gurus, what I found was that my anxiety was being triggered by subconscious beliefs. Once I figured out how to clear the beliefs, it reduced my triggers, my life changed for the better.

One of the biggest things I discovered is that there is nothing "wrong" with me or anyone actually. We all have triggers.

We all have patterns of emotions caused by subconscious beliefs and they are so strong, they can cause us to place ourselves in a situation and before our conscious mind even realizes it. Most people are reacting based on past events and they haven't had a chance to decide before the body is already doing it.

The truth is, you haven’t had a chance to choose your life because of a past event. Subconscious beliefs tell us our feelings about ourselves and the world around us. And often the beliefs are rooted so deep we can’t find them on our own. Or they are so stealth, we don't even realize when they are running under the surface of the conscious thought.

A few examples would be:

- I am not good enough.

- Nothing bad will ever happen to me.

- Everyone hates me.

You get the idea right?

Subconscious beliefs create our reality and if they are negative, then that is what we get from life because of how it messes with our view of everything - Of ourselves, others, the world. And they can stop us from taking action or cause us to take inefficient or even self-sabotaging action.

Things like procrastination, perfectionism, being controlling or being afraid to put yourself out there - fear of failure or even success. They are all caused by the beliefs deep within the subconscious mind. And they are what is causing anxiety as well.

If you've tried everything to get rid of it, but nothing has worked. It's time for something new and better! After years of research, study, and experience, I created the method that works and I want to help you reduce your anxiety (without medication) and help you reach the goals you set, by specifically targeting subconscious beliefs.

My life changed so much, I couldn't keep it a secret. Now, you change your life too!
