Breaking Through The Wonder Wall and Dropping the Victim Mindset With Nick Pags

Show Notes:

 

There are a thousand ways to break down the elements of breakthrough or the absence of it. In our past episodes, we have sought answers from dozens of coaches, authors, and thought leaders about how they think people can achieve breakthroughs to live the life they say they want to have.

In this episode, we have the pleasure of doing a deep dive on why it’s so difficult for people to cross the road from who they’ve become to who they want to be. Nick Pags drives home a clear point why people hold on to their current situation. You’ll be surprised the reason is “wildly simple.” People tend to protect themselves from the unknown, from the uncertain. 

As you tune in to this week’s episode with our guest, Growth Mindset Expert, Certified Behavioral Change Specialist, and Inspirational Live Coach, Nick Pags, Stay with us as Nick spills the beans on how he inspires his students to become who they want to be or better yet, limitless.

This episode is like a bag of tools and methods you can use to step out of your comfort zone and discover what’s possible.

This week, we challenge you to Stop, Drop, and Roll

 

Here’s a quick background: 

In our brains, there exists a subconscious desire to go a different way, think of what if’s, what could be possible, or what could be waiting for us on the other side. But we almost automatically choose to do what we’ve always done. We choose to go in the same direction. 

Why? Because it's our autonomic nervous system that tells us not to change course. It’s not safe. You’ve always gone this way. Even if that course never gets us to who we want to become, we go with it. As Nick Pags puts it -

 

“We rather dance with the devil that we know than the devil that we don't.”

 

Here’s how you’ll do it-

1. This is where we STOP and ask ourselves the question, “ Is this a decision that's aligned with who I want to be? And the life I want to live?” We begin to take radical ownership and take responsibility for who we want to be.
2. By not allowing tons of excuses to get in the way, we DROP our ego, the protection, the safety and comfort zone, the victim mindset, the resistance to change, and simply allow ourselves to the possibilities.
3. Only by dropping those blocks, can we then ROLL with a new decision and a new experience.

 

It may take you some time to make it because change is uncomfortable. But if you resolve to ABC -“act boldly consistently,” the more you make decisions that are aligned with the person you want to be, the more you take that simple action, the more your life is a byproduct of that experience, and the more you start to see that your world is now built on a foundation of not protection, but abundant aligned choices. 

What is it with your current situation that you want to stop and drop, so you can roll to a new you? Start by telling us about it and don’t forget to act boldly consistently!
