What you actually mean when you say…
One of the reasons I LOVE my husband so much is that he CALLS ME OUT when I say something that doesn’t align with who I am.
Whether it’s fear, disappointment, or even frustration that is leading the words coming out of my mouth, he will kindly remind me that if I utter: “I can’t…” or “I don’t know how…” etc, I usually mean: YET…I am not able to do something YET or don’t know how to _______YET.
I help my clients do the same. They tell me reasons they “can’t” try something new or share a resistance to change. What they feel is true in their heart at that moment is REAL, but I can hear what they are really telling me. Maybe you’ve uttered some of these recently, or even in the last year. Take a moment to see what you might really be saying so you know where you need to start to make a positive change.
So the NEXT TIME you hear yourself uttering a reason…okay I’ll say it, an excuse, for why you are resistant to change, see if you can get to the heart of problem. You might surprise yourself with a solution!
