Fighting the Fear to Succeed

One of the saddest struggles I see my clients face is NOT the fear of failure but the fear of success.  The fear of failure is more easily managed and can be quickly overcome with an attitude shift and a steady eye on the future.  The later is far more challenging and insipid in nature.  The very idea of fearing success is an oxymoron few people will consciously be able to admit.  Though their very actions, most often self-sabotaging, become neon signs to its existence. 

Working to extricate yourself from this trap alone can be challenging if the underlying belief is rooted in your subconscious mind.  If your subconscious mind hold a belief that you ARE a failure every outward accomplishment becomes incongruous.  Because our sub/unconscious mind is constantly working to bring about experiences that align with our internal/core beliefs it has no option but to thwart our efforts to succeed.  This creates a conflict that puts us out of rapport with our subconscious mind.  The more success we achieve the greater the internal conflict.

The good news is that clients can use The Power Plan coaching and Hypnotherapy techniques to uncover and resolve these inner conflicts.  Once a client can learn to program new, empowering, beliefs in their subconscious mind than they can utilize its power to create the unlimited success they desire and deserve.

When the winds of change feel like a hurricane

Today my horoscope stated that " You can basically have anything you want right now -- Sounds vaguely like that old warning about being careful what you wish for -- because you might get it? Well, it should. That's exactly the line you're walking. Tread gently, and look both ways before you cross".  I had to laugh out loud because I'm often counseling my clients to do the same.  When you've spent a significant amount of time pushing your own desires aside and someone gives you a tool to have all those desires realized it's easy to feel like a kid in a candy shop.  The only trick is, just like that kid, if you take on too much at once you too may end up with one wicked belly ache. 

That is why it is important to have a trusted and experienced life coach to guide you.  They can help keep the hurricane of change at bay by helping you focus your energy on one key factor at a time.  The beauty is when done correctly it becomes an organic relationship of mutual admiration and respect for the awesome power of change.  How do you know when you are doing it right?  Well, you will feel like you are carried on a warm summer wind to a specific destination - not catapulted across the sky by a violent storm into the abyss. 

Wherever your quest for change takes you remember... look both ways and enjoy the ride!
