3 Things that Stop You Putting Yourself Out There

Here are 3 main ways you stop yourself putting your business out there, I have been there too!

1. Fear of rejection

Rejection is the ultimate insult to a sense of belonging.

What if I put myself out there and no one comes to me? How will that make me feel?

Will it trigger the old wounds of unworthiness and shame? Will the usual rhetoric start, “I knew no one would want to come to me!”. “No one ever listens to me anyway, told you so”.

Embracing Our Vulnerabilities is Empowering .. But not always easy

Vulnerability gets a bad rap because many of us live our lives in fear of being seen for who we really are.

We have been conditioned to feel not good enough or worthy enough or … whatever enough.

And so, we spend a lot of time trying to fit in. Whether it’s in a work situation, with our friends and even our family.

"Fitting in" lends to an image of manipulating ourselves

Coaching in Galway

We form beliefs around our perceptions of life and whether or not we feel these needs have been met. Our beliefs then fuel our actions.

For example, if we hold a belief that no one wants to hear what we have to say then our confidence level may be at rock bottom.

Limiting beliefs are one of the obstructions that cause you to stay stuck where you are and unable to move forward into the next step of reaching your full potential.

Embracing being the “Square Peg!”

One definition of the saying “you can’t fit a square peg into a round hole” says that it describes the unusual individualist who could not fit into a niche of their society.

Now here my friends in my opinion is where the problem lies.

It is the use of the word “unusual” which when we are talking about a person could be better described as “unique” individual. At the end of the day we are all unique and we are all individual.

So here’s my journey through this exact problem.

How to Find Your Core Personal Values

A journey to living a fulfilled life happens when you honour your own values and you live by them. When you are incongruent with your values you may be living someone else’s life and you may form bad habits or become lost in trying to find yourself.

Understanding what you value is less about looking outside and wondering what you should value, or what society says you should value, looking at what everyone else is doing and thinking this is what therefore you should do.

Understanding your value system is an inside, personal job that is best done on your own or with the help of a professional who has no agenda, instead someone who holds space for you to help you tease out the information for yourself.

What is distant healing?

To begin to understand the concept of distant healing we have to view the body as more than a machine that is controlled by the brain – because even if we do view it that way – what do we know about who or what controls the brain? It stills needs a programmer to tell the nervous system what to do when it needs to.

Quantum psychics has proved that everything is made from energy, even us as human beings.

4 Ways To Embrace Your Inner Critic

Instead of finding a way to quieten or banish the inner critic I want to show you four ways to embrace it. Why? Because your inner critic is a part of you. It’s the part of you that developed beliefs from your perceptions of your life’s challenges.

And although challenges cause tension, without tension there is no growth.

Your inner critic points you to your soul growth, to your inner north star, your full potential.

When you lean into the inner critic you find it’s wisdom and you uncover your power.

Don’t Take It Personally - Or Should You?

Never under-estimate the power of doing things that empower you. Your actions often have a greater effect on others then your words.

Next time you get triggered and before you take an action ask yourself “Is this the reality you want to create”?

You will keep getting the same results until we do something differently.

How to make changes

Take an eagle’s eye view of where you want to go and become clear of what is not working for you in your environment. If you need to put up a boundary be clear about it and communicate it to others. Analyse if it's working for you. You will know this by whether or not you keep getting the same results for yourself.

What is a Red Tent Circle

A Red Tent is a women’s gathering held at Dark Moon or New Moon. It’s the time of the month when the Sun and the Moon are side by side, the masculine of the Sun energy sits beside his female counterpart the Moon.

It is the nature of the feminine to be cyclical, receptive and reflective and as women we are governed by the Moon. In these circles we gather and listen to our inner wisdom. We fill our cup so that we are able to give to others. We can’t give what we don’t have

What is Vulnerability?

For the most part vulnerability can get us breaking into a sweat and saying

Me, no I don’t do vulnerability!

Maybe that is because the first definition you get when you look it up says that “it is a fear of being attacked either physically or emotionally”.   And of course, none of us want that as it taps into our basic fear around our survival.   Feeling safe is a non-negotiable need.
