Fiona Kane (00:00):
Hello and welcome to the Wellness Connection Podcast
.
I'm your host, Fiona Kane.
Last week I started talking toyou about.
I was talking about habits andthe things that we can do to
cement those habits, to ensurethat they become sort of
unconscious competency, asopposed to something that's

(00:21):
really challenging in thebeginning, and I thought,
following on from that, I'vetalked to you a lot about
language and I want to just talkto you again just about there's
a lot of things that can get inthe way of us achieving our
goals.
So there's lots of thoughtprocesses and things that we can
do to sabotage ourselves,essentially.

(00:44):
So I just wanted to talk to youa little bit about that and
some of the questions that youcan ask yourself in regards to
why you're not achieving yourgoals and the feelings that you
have around it.
So the first thing I'd like tosort of say is you know, be
curious about whatever feelingsyou have, whatever feelings you

(01:08):
have about why you're notachieving your goals.
So, if you're kind of, if yousay, oh, I haven't achieved
whatever it is and it's becauseblah, blah, blah, all the stuff
that you say, so be curiousabout whatever that is, what are
you actually saying?
Pay attention to what you'resaying about why you haven't
achieved your goals, and whenyou pay attention, you might

(01:33):
hear things along the lines of,say, stories that you're telling
yourself.
So you're hearing the storiesthat you're telling yourself.
So I'll give you some questionsthat you can ask yourself to
help sort of clarify thisprocess.
But essentially this is justhelping you see what's in the
way of you achieving your goals,if you kind of know what you

(01:54):
need to be doing and you're notdoing it.
What's going on?
So the first question is whatam I believing?
So it's that thing that you sayto yourself about why you
haven't achieved it.
What am I believing?
Or you know I'm not enough, I'mnot good enough, or whatever
the story is.
But what's the story thatyou're telling yourself, right?
So the first question is whatam I believing?
So you just really understandwhat it is that you're saying to

(02:16):
yourself.
So, and then the next questionis how am I reinforcing this
belief system?
So question number two is howam I reinforcing it?
So number one is what am Ibelieving?
And it might be I'm not enoughor I'm not good enough, or
something along those lines.
So then the number two is howare you reinforcing that?

(02:37):
Well, you're probablyreinforcing that by your
behaviors, right?
So if you believe you're notenough, maybe you're just
constantly not showing up foryourself and you're not looking
after yourself.
So you're not eating well,you're not exercising, you're
not showing up, you know you'renot getting out of bed and doing

(02:57):
something useful, you're justnot showing up for yourself at
all.
So that's one way that maybeyou're doing that.
Another thing is you might besabotaging your relationships or
actively doing things tosabotage your goals.
It's just sabotaging things inyour life.
So you know what are the thingsyou're doing to reinforce this
belief system?
It also might be the thingsthat you're saying to yourself,

(03:19):
that you're constantly sayingyou know I'm no good and not
good enough, and all that kindof stuff.
You also might be notprioritizing yourself at all, so
you're running around aftereverybody else.
You're trying to make sure youdo everything that everybody
else wants, but not lookingafter you, so just prioritizing

(03:39):
other people or other people'sgoals or other people's
situation and not yours.
So there's lots of differentthings you might be doing, but
essentially it's how am Ireinforcing a belief system?
Because a belief system doesactually have to be reinforced,
because our beliefs create ourbehavior, they shape our
environment, and our beliefshave to be reinforced somehow.

(04:02):
That's how they become thesestrong beliefs.
You don't just think ofsomething once it's a strong
belief, you reinforce it over,and, over and over again, and it
has to be reinforced by someonein a position of authority, and
in this case, it's probably you.
So what are you saying?
What are you doing, or what areyou not doing?
That is just essentiallyproving your belief system and

(04:29):
reinforcing your belief systemof I am not enough.
So then the third thing is sayyou believe I'm not enough.
The third question is what wouldI prefer to believe about this
situation?
What would I prefer to believe?
And my guess is what you preferto believe is that you are
enough.
That would be a guess, whateverit is.

(04:51):
But just what is it that youwould prefer?
To believe that you are enough?
That would be a guess, whateverit is.
But just what is it that youwould prefer to believe?
Or I can do it, rather than Ican't do it, or whatever the
situation is.
So what would you prefer tobelieve about it?
And once you've decided whatyou'd prefer to believe about it
, then the next step is toactually reinforce that new idea
and that new belief system.

(05:12):
And, based on the stuff I talkedabout last week with habits, a
lot of this is about habits,right?
So when you first say, you knowI can do it, it will be okay,
whatever, you won't believe it,but you will after time.
But you will after the time.
On one proviso though you won'tbelieve it if, every day, you
stay up all night gaming andthen sleep in and then don't do

(05:33):
any exercise and don't eat welland you're on a sugar roller
coaster and just gettingtakeaway, whatever.
That's not going to reinforcethis belief and make you feel
good about yourself, right?
So you'll believe it when youshow up for yourself, and that
that is as simple as that.
When you show up for yourself,right, right?
So if you think about it, when,if there's people around you

(05:56):
who you know you know the peoplein your life who you believe
and who you trust their word,then who you don't, there's
people who you know will show up, and there's and their word is
their, you know their word istrue.
That person says I'm going toshow up, they show up, and you
trust those people you've.
I'm going to show up, they showup and you trust those people.
You've built trust with thembecause you know they show up.
There are people that you donot trust and that you would not

(06:18):
expect to show up, no matterwhat they said, right?
So whatever they say, okay, youknow how Fred always says that
everyone laughs and says he'snot going to do it.
We all know he's not going todo it, right?
So it's the same with yourself.
Right To have trust in yourselfand to have belief in yourself.
You're going to prove toyourself that you're trustworthy

(06:40):
, and the way you prove toyourself that you're trustworthy
is you show up again and again,and again and again.
Why are you going to believeyou, right?
So as simple as that if youwant to change your belief about
it, you've got to show up foryourself, and the more you show

(07:00):
up for yourself.
Going back to last week,talking about creating new
habits if you haven't listenedor watched that episode, go back
to it just for clarification onthis.
You're going to create the newhabits by showing up, so you
create the new habits by.
You know you get up at areasonable time and you uh, you

(07:21):
do whatever you need to do,whether it's look for a job, or
whether it's go and do exercise,or whether it's eat a healthy
breakfast or turn up for workand be diligent at work or
whatever it looks like, but youshow up for yourself.
You might be reading somebusiness books or some
motivational books or watchingTED Talks or whatever it is, but
the things that you need to doto show up for yourself.

(07:42):
So the question three was whatwould I prefer to believe about
this?
And essentially, the questionfour is then what do I need to
do to reinforce that beliefsystem?
And what you need to do toreinforce it is the habits and
is believe you, and you willonly believe you when you show

(08:08):
that you're trustworthy and thatyou can be believed.
When you show that you'retrustworthy and that you can be
believed, that happens becauseyou do it, because you show up.
All right, as simple as that.
So I'm going to review thesejust again.
Today's going to be a shorterepisode as well.
It's okay to have shortepisodes.
Sometimes we're all busy.
So sometimes I'm here for anhour and sometimes I'm here for
10 or 15 minutes or something.

(08:28):
That's okay.
I'm here for an hour andsometimes I'm here for 10 or 15
minutes or something.
That's okay, but I just want toreview that, just as a reminder
that you know, beliefs createour behavior and so we need to
know what our beliefs are.
And if you're not achievingsomething or you feel like
you're not doing well withsomething, you really do have to

(08:49):
be curious.
Get curious, and I don't meanjudgmental, I mean curious, two
different things.
Get curious about what's goingon and why it's not happening,
because beliefs do create ourbehavior and that shapes our
environment, it shapes ourfuture, our destiny right, and
beliefs have to be reinforcedsomehow.

(09:09):
And you're the one that'sprobably reinforcing this belief
.
So the four questions again,just to summarize, I'll tell you
what they were.
So the four questions what am Ibelieving?
So what is a story that you'retelling yourself?
How am I reinforcing, is numbertwo.
Number two is how am Ireinforcing this belief system?
So, whatever you believe, howare you reinforcing that?

(09:30):
What are the behaviors you'redoing, or the things you're
saying, or the things you're notdoing?
You're not showing up foryourself.
So that's reinforcing the factthat you're not enough, because
you're not even prioritizing you.
So of course you're not enough.
And then number three is whatwould I prefer to believe about
this?
And then number four is what doI need to do to reinforce this

(09:54):
idea, this new belief system?
What is it that I need to do toreinforce that?
And then, essentially, what youdo is you create new habits to
achieve that and you can referto, like I said, the previous
episode to this one.
I'll actually on YouTube, I'lllink it as well, the last
episode so that you can createnew habits and stick to those

(10:19):
new habits until they becomeunconscious and simple and you
just become the person who justdoes that thing, naturally right
.
That's how people get there.
They get it just by doing itevery day until it just becomes
what they do.
Okay, then you have a whole newbelief system about yourself.
When you have a whole newbelief system, things change and

(10:40):
you know things.
Also from an energetic point ofview and I've talked a little
bit about energy before, but notonly practically do things
change.
Of course, if you show up foryourself, you get momentum, you
build momentum and I've talkedabout this before.
Once you start to get momentum,start moving, then you believe
in yourself more and you getmore energized and you do more

(11:02):
all of that.
So when we show up forourselves, we do get this
momentum.
We do build this momentum andit keeps us going.
But the other thing, that andit's just dropped out of my head
now the other thing I was goingto say in regards to showing up
for ourselves, and now it'sstill dropped out of my head.
I'll go back to talking aboutmomentum.
I'm sure it'll get me there.

(11:22):
That's what happens when it'sfine, a bit of a brain freeze.
Now, like I said, when you getmomentum, when you're actually
moving, that is what gives youmore momentum.
So standing still and kind ofgoing, oh, it doesn't give you
momentum.
But when you actually juststart moving forward, you begin

(11:43):
to get momentum and then youbegin to feel good about
yourself because you're doingsomething.
Whatever it is, you're justdoing something, you're
achieving something, and thenwhat that does is it makes you
feel good about yourself.
But the other thing now it'scome back into my brain is when
you start to change what you'redoing.
So, besides all of the thingsthat the changes were like, if

(12:05):
you're exercising more obviouslythat might change how you feel
in your body and it'll changeyour mental health.
All of those things willbenefit.
If you're eating well again,that will improve your health.
Blah, blah blah.
So there's lots of theactivities themselves will
improve your health and improveyour mental health and all of
that.
So all of those individualthings you do will add up to
something much bigger and beamazing for your physical and

(12:27):
mental health.
But on top of that, what happensis we start to, we start to
resonate, or energetically, westart to attract people to us
and opportunities to us.
So essentially and you can tellsomeone when you're around
people, you can tell theirenergy when people have got sort

(12:49):
of good energy or bad energy ornegative energy People are
positive, people are negative.
Sometimes you can just feelthat in people right, and that's
the same in you.
So if you're telling yourselfthe story of I'm not enough, I'm
not good enough, and you'redoing all the habits that
reinforce that, then the energythat you put off won't be an
energy of like, drawingabundance and drawing great

(13:09):
things to you.
It will be the energy of like.
It's a place where energy goesto die right.
So when we essentially changethese things we change our
thoughts, we change our habitswhat happens is it just clears
our energy and it actually makesus kind of a magnet for
opportunities.
So you'd be quite amazed at howyou make changes in one area,

(13:33):
then opportunities come, andthat's why Jordan Peterson talks
about making your bed andeveryone's like what difference
does it make if you make, um, ifyou make your bed?
But what he's saying is thatyou just do one action and
another action happens, andanother action happens and
another, and that changes yourenergy and changes how you feel
about yourself.
So really, it's just about youknow, uh, getting getting

(13:53):
yourself in order and doingactions and doing actions that
ultimately help you feel betterabout yourself.
That's what he's talking about.
So just be curious about thestory that you're telling
yourself, because the story thatyou're telling yourself could
be absolutely the very reasonwhy you don't have the good

(14:15):
habits or the supportive habitsfor what you want to do.
So, if you want to change yourhabits and have improved habits,
like I said, go back to thelast episode, but also have a
bit of be a bit curious aboutwhat you're telling yourself
about this that is contributingto your outcomes.
Anyway, I'll leave it theretoday Again, can I please ask

(14:37):
you to like, subscribe, shareand please review and please
jump into wherever you are,whether it's Spotify or Apple or
YouTube or Rumble, or whereveryou listen to this or watch this
.
I really appreciate you gettinginvolved and doing something to
ensure that other people findout more about it and

(14:58):
essentially, when peopleinteract with various episodes
of podcasts, that's how they getout there.
Once the algorithm knows thatpeople find it interesting and
people are commenting andengaging, then it shows more
people.
So please do that so I can getout to more people.
And thank you, everybody, and Ihope you have a great week and

(15:20):
essentially what I'm trying todo here is have real
conversations about things thatmatter, and I will talk to you
again soon.
Thanks so much, bye-bye.
