Let's get into it. 5 00:00:32,885.918367347 --> 00:00:47,680.918367347 How do we go from absolute procrastination? To feeling really motivated and confident to take those small steps forward to get the success and progress that we want. 6 00:00:49,480.918367347 --> 00:00:53,860.918367347 Whatever it is that is your absolute goal in your life right now. 7 00:00:55,870.918367347 --> 00:01:01,420.918367347 First of all, we need to acknowledge and hold the fact that we are waiting. 8 00:01:02,980.918367347 --> 00:01:08,905.918367347 What is it that we're waiting for? Asking ourselves those deeper questions. 9 00:01:08,905.918367347 --> 00:01:30,295.918367347 What do we feel it is that we feel that we need, that we a skill or an attribute or a talent that we feel like we haven't got that is holding us back? It may be that you don't feel like you know enough, often you do. 10 00:01:31,870.918367347 --> 00:02:08,605.91836735 Ask yourself why? Whenever you feel absolutely stuck, it's so important to ask ourselves, why do I feel this way? Is this true or am I not owning my talents? Because I know that you are gorgeous, that you have so many skills and so many strengths and so many talents, but are we not owning them? Are we not acknowledging them? How can we help ourselves move forward when we just feel generally not good enough? That could be a belief that you hear yourself saying. 11 00:02:08,605.91836735 --> 00:02:12,175.91836735 The first step is to always write these down. 12 00:02:12,505.91836735 --> 00:02:19,375.91836735 What is that inner voice saying to ourselves? And this can, this can feel emotional, this can feel heavy. 13 00:02:19,375.91836735 --> 00:02:23,5.91836735 This can bring up emotion within your body. 14 00:02:23,725.91836735 --> 00:02:41,995.91836735 And sometimes it can feel quite sad to look at a list of things that you believe about yourself, but the power of writing these down allows you to reconnect and build a relationship with this part of you that is holding onto these beliefs. 15 00:02:41,995.91836735 --> 00:02:43,555.91836735 Now, this may be. 16 00:02:43,820.91836735 --> 00:02:53,860.91836735 An age of you back a few years ago, it could be a younger part of you that had these beliefs, maybe when you were a young adult, or a teenager. 17 00:02:57,790.91836735 --> 00:03:11,160.91836735 How old is this part of you that is saying these negative beliefs about yourself? By writing them down, hand on heart and rocking. 18 00:03:11,640.91836735 --> 00:03:12,870.91836735 You can reconnect. 19 00:03:16,815.91836735 --> 00:03:33,435.91836735 And when we've written them down on one side of the piece of paper, we can then work through each one at a time and turn it into a positive by asking the powerful question, is this true? So let's take an example. 20 00:03:33,440.91836735 --> 00:03:33,630.91836735 Example. 21 00:03:33,635.91836735 --> 00:03:36,255.91836735 Let's say I'm not good enough to do this. 22 00:03:37,5.91836735 --> 00:03:40,875.91836735 Whatever it is that you want to do, I don't feel good enough. 23 00:03:42,330.91836735 --> 00:03:43,290.91836735 Opposite side. 24 00:03:44,190.91836735 --> 00:03:47,580.91836735 I have amazing skills and qualities. 25 00:03:48,150.91836735 --> 00:03:53,730.91836735 I am thoughtful, I am caring, I am kind. 26 00:03:55,290.91836735 --> 00:03:56,940.91836735 I am intelligent. 27 00:03:57,840.91836735 --> 00:04:07,560.91836735 I am, and you just start with your I am phrases and I do believe that whilst it might sound really simple. 28 00:04:08,370.91836735 --> 00:04:11,190.91836735 To just sit there and write down your I Am phrases. 29 00:04:11,700.91836735 --> 00:04:23,220.91836735 It is a practice that we often forget and we often don't do for ourselves, and it's so powerful to finally see this list on the other side of the page. 30 00:04:24,165.91836735 --> 00:04:34,485.91836735 And so what you end up with is you have a page in front of you where you have all of your negative beliefs down one side, which we realize is connected to a younger part of ourselves. 31 00:04:34,995.91836735 --> 00:04:43,125.91836735 And on the other side, we have a beautiful list of skills and attributes and things that you have earned and learned throughout your life. 32 00:04:45,255.91836735 --> 00:04:46,695.91836735 That is actually true. 33 00:04:47,835.91836735 --> 00:04:48,525.91836735 Okay. 34 00:04:48,885.91836735 --> 00:05:00,795.91836735 When you have that list on the other side of the page, then there is your proof that perhaps the negative beliefs might not be true anymore and they might not be serving you. 35 00:05:01,395.91836735 --> 00:05:05,625.91836735 So we can tap on those new beliefs, those new affirmations. 36 00:05:05,655.91836735 --> 00:05:07,785.91836735 I am this I, I'm that. 37 00:05:08,385.91836735 --> 00:05:13,815.91836735 And if you do your tapping routine, which I've spoken to you about before, which is ever so powerful. 38 00:05:15,150.91836735 --> 00:05:29,430.91836735 You can tap on those new beliefs and start to reprogram your conscious mind to believe in this instead, because you will see that one side of the page doesn't serve you anymore. 39 00:05:29,730.91836735 --> 00:05:31,290.91836735 And the other side of the page. 40 00:05:31,795.91836735 --> 00:05:45,205.91836735 Help you build your confidence to then step forward and have the motivation that you need to take those tiny little steps and things that you want to do that you're perhaps scared to do before. 41 00:05:46,15.91836735 --> 00:05:50,305.91836735 So try this out for yourself so that you can move away from waiting. 42 00:05:52,545.91836735 --> 00:06:14,595.91836735 To doing because we know that in order to have and to manifest and attract the things in our lives that we wish to experience and have for ourselves, we need to be, and we need to do, be, do, have in order to be. 43 00:06:15,570.91836735 --> 00:06:20,190.91836735 We have to really go deep on these negative beliefs, and we have to do, we have to do the work. 44 00:06:20,190.91836735 --> 00:06:39,60.91836735 We have to make the effort to write down and create these lists on paper in our journal, and we have to go through each one and hand on heart, hold each negative belief that we have, or help us let that go by reframing it with a positive. 45 00:06:39,615.91836735 --> 00:06:51,525.91836735 The truth of actually who you are, your skills, your attributes, and your qualities that will then help you do the activities and the things that you want to do. 46 00:06:51,735.91836735 --> 00:07:03,435.91836735 Like showing up here right now for you, doing these lovely episodes, which will eventually attract

relationships with the relationships that you have in your life right now or finally getting that success and the momentum in your business that you want for yourself. 48 00:07:24,300.91836735 --> 00:07:24,510.91836735 So. 49 00:07:24,980.91836735 --> 00:07:26,960.91836735 Short but powerful. 50 00:07:27,350.91836735 --> 00:07:31,670.91836735 Try this out for yourself and let me know how you
