Listening to my Thoughts Shocked Me

Listening to my Thoughts Shocked Me

Hello lovely community friends,

So, I'm sitting here with a site post half written.

The first half I'm happy with.

The second half I have planned and have a good feeling about.

I know how I'm going to approach each section, I'm moments away from being IN THE ZONE and I'm actually really looking forward to seeing how it turns out, it's going to be great!

BUT...

I'm not writing it.

Anything and everything is an excuse.

I procrastinated for a good while until just now, when I stopped... everything... and sat in silence, and just listened.

I listened to my thoughts

I listened to my thoughts and quietly asked,

"What am I telling myself that's keeping me stuck here on the edge of making things happen?"

What was my inner voice telling me that I hadn't yet heard?

When I listened hard, I heard, "You won't make it work".

Say WHAT?!

Yes, this is what I was telling myself and I was SO SHOCKED to hear these words, because my conscious thoughts have been telling me I'm over my self-doubt about building a business for weeks now.

As far as I was consciously aware, I was in a great head space

I was feeling awesome!

I thought I was anyway.

Little did I know that my subconscious hadn't quite caught up and was holding me back.

Moving forwards with my subconscious

So, I sat with my thoughts for a while and gently reminded my subconscious that

  • I am in charge now
  • I am successful now
  • I have work to do NOW
  • It needs to come along for the ride

Let's hope it listens, cheeky subsconsious.

Me, my subconsious and I hope this helps anyone in a similar situation!

Anyone else experienced this?

Speak soon,

Emma x
