The festive season is upon us! I absolutely love festivals because as you know, I love any kind of celebration. With the festive season here, I was reminded of one of the most common forms of self-sabotage that I have seen when it comes to personal growth and manifesting a better life. Something that I have heard a lot of people say when they are considering Coaching.

“I have too much going on so I don’t think I’ll have the time.”

This sentence is just one iteration of something deeper – this idea that everything has to be perfect for you to choose change; to start Coaching.

This notion that I will have more time in the future is baseless.

Things are never going to be perfect. There will always be something that comes up or that requires your time and attention. Bottomline – when people say this, they are prioritizing other things over themselves.

And I get it! As a Coach and an expert on the Human mind and behaviour, I understand that it feels scary to choose yourself. I also know that you might be unaware that it is your subconscious programming that is causing you to make excuses. You probably don’t even know that this is self-sabotage!

This is why I am writing this.

I want you to recognise the self-sabotage so you can choose your growth!

Beliefs like

“I am not worthy.”

“What if it doesn’t work out?”

“How can I spend so much on myself?”

“What if it’s a waste of my time?”

are usually the cause of the fear you feel when you are considering making an investment in yourself. Let me tell you, your fear and concern are absolutely natural.

I’ve invested thousands of dollars in my growth over and over again and I can tell you from experience that it’s normal. And I can also tell you that it’s just fear. At the other end of fear lies everything you ever wanted.

You know this right? The fear of failing is more painful than failing itself.
The fear of rejection is more painful than being rejected.

Because you can relive the fear over and over again in your head, And most people do! Unless you take that action you are afraid of.

Once you take action, that’s it! Whatever the outcome, it’s a one-time thing and then you move on.

And usually, the outcome is better than you can expect.

Every single client of mine who chose themselves and came into Coaching, despite what was happening in their life and environment, is a testament to this.

One of my clients was hesitant to start Coaching because she had a bunch of travel coming up. She would also be visiting her in-laws during Coaching and they were a cause for some of her triggers.

When she expressed her concern saying, “I’m going to be traveling so much. How will I follow Coaching and build the routine I want?”

I said, “There is no better time to be coaching than when things seem topsy-turvy and you are faced with challenges! That’s when you can really make use of the Coaching. Not when things are perfect and there are no triggers.”

She said “Heaven Yes” to 12 sessions of Coaching and this is what she wrote in her testimonial after the sessions.

You know, one of her main goals when she came into Coaching was to build a routine that made her feel grounded. She followed her routine even while she was travelling! That’s because we worked through all the blocks the moment they showed up.

I hear far too often that now with the festivals coming up I have too much to do and other things to take up my time. Well, I went into Coaching for the 2 months before my wedding because I knew that I needed the support the most at that time. I made the time for it.

It’s 1 hour out of the 168 hours you have in a week. If you have the time to scroll on your phone, you have the time for Coaching.

You simply have to make the time, if your growth and mental peace are important to you. I believe if you are reading this email, they are important to you.

Let me leave you with something the same client would like to say to you:

I’ve had Discovery Calls with people a year apart, and they are in the same place as earlier. Then I have had clients who have signed up for Coaching in the middle of a separation, during a lay-off and during the busiest times of their lives and they have gone on to completely transform their lives and manifest their dreams.

Knowing what you know now, I am sure it will be easier for you to choose growth; to choose yourself.

If you would like to work 1:1 with me, applications are open!

Let’s get started on your transformative journey towards a life you truly desire!

To your growth and expansion,
