Your Weekly Success Tips: One Question to Banish the Blockages

SUCCESS TIPS: Solutions for Your Career, Your Business and Your Life!

    

 I hope my article from last week helped you to better understand any fears or blockages that may be standing in front of you; these blocks can keep you from having the life you want.  I thought I'd continue and share a story from a client success that occurred this week in the hope that it helps you.
 
Two weeks ago, I had a client come who related that he was feeling rather 'stuck' in moving forward in his career; he related that he was experiencing symptoms of anxiety - nervousness, irritability with his coworkers, and difficulty sleeping. After we explored the issues, he uncovered that his fears were the block to feeling successful; he was imagining the worst, which is what happens when we let our mind get away from us. So, I asked him one question:
 
"With what you imagine will happen, is it going to kill you?" 
 
As simplistic as the question is, we often can imagine we might die or be close to it. We magnify and catastrophize outcomes which we cannot predict.  I saw my client last week and he was a more positive and confident person. He reported that after the first visit, that question brought the realization that he was creating the fear in his own mind; he was able to challenge his thoughts and made the realization that they have no control over him - he felt able to do anything he wanted.  
 
Not everyone will experience releasing a fear as quickly as my client but, with practice, it becomes easier. It then becomes a habit that will last throughout your lifetime. You will be retraining your brain to think how you want and your life will won't feel so  hard. You have the power!
 
 
 
 
Your Weekly Action Plan
 
This week, use the question "Am I going to die?" anytime you feel yourself holding back on any area of your life. Pay attention to how you feel after as you release the fear. Remember, the more you do it the more you will create a new habit. Reinforce any positive feelings and life improvements - celebrate success!

I hope you have a successful week - If you need help gaining clarity on your business or career goals, or in developing your action plan, why not get some help - stop the struggle and call today to get started. I'd love to help you build the career and business of your dreams!

I am very excited to announce that the book I am a co-author in has been released.  It is called, Contagious Optimism, and it is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or on the site www.lifecarrots.com.  It was a thrill for me to finally see the book in print, as it has been 3 years since I submitted my first article (I have 3 in the book); I went to Delray Beach for the book signing and met fellow coauthors and sign books.  Wow - what an experience! If you want to feel inspired and uplifted, then I encourage you to check out the book.
