Secret 4 – Question Everything you Know
So did you take me up on my challenge from last time? Have you learned to stop beating yourself up? Are you able to appreciate the experience and learn from it? Congratulations! You are well on your way to regaining your passion for life.
As promised – the fourth secret is Question Everything you Know. Did you ever wonder why you do the things that you do? I know I found myself doing things because I have always done them since childhood and never questioned why I did them. When I started on my self-growth journey I found that many of the things that I was doing no longer supported my new found authentic self.
We are all products of some type of conditioning from childhood. We learn a lot about life and who we believe we are from our childhood. Sometimes however this conditioning no longer supports us as we begin to explore the world and develop our own beliefs and values, but we fail to change the behaviors that no longer support us because they are ingrained and become automatic.
Turn off that auto-pilot and begin to live your life consciously.
Now is your opportunity to begin questioning why you do the things you do. Do you do them because they are a reflection of who you are? Are they supporting you to reach your life vision? Or are you doing them because that is what you have always done?
By not stopping and questioning why you do what you do, you end up filling your life up with actions and things that do not support you. And as a result you inevitably find that you don’t have the time to purse the things that speak to your soul.
You are not alone, not having enough time is a real problem for many - time was the second highest ranked response (42%) after money (75%) in a survey when participants were asked “what do you wish you had more of”.
Just imagine by taking a few minutes each day to ask yourself “does this action still support me or am I doing it because I always have” you will gain something that you want in life “more time”. And if you did have more time what would you do with it? Would you focus more on your business? If so then you will be getting two of the things that you say you want more of - time and money.
I challenge you to turn off that auto-pilot and start living your life consciously. Begin to question everything you do and your belief system. You will be amazed at what you gain!
Need help turning off the auto-pilot? Are you ready to start living your life consciously? Do you want more time for the things that you love? Do you need support in identifying the things that no longer support you? If so then sign up for a 30 minute self empowerment coaching session and begin celebrating your greatness!
