Failure is mostly a myth...
WRONG
My coach always says, "You can’t get this wrong.” Which frankly, just made the control freak in me itch...
Now it is my favorite thing.
The Saboteur
Maybe you have experienced this: A negative thought comes to sabotage you, it's underlying message is almost always, "YOU are wrong."
Sure it comes camouflaged as a 1000 different statements. (if you'd like to discuss your unique attackers, read down to schedule a FREE coaching session!) Here's an example, "I’m not doing this right." When it arrives on the scene, ask yourself, “Why am I making me wrong?”
100% organic
Remember, you are an organic being with all kinds of experiences to have in this lifetime, some pleasant, some not. That is just life.
If you look back over your life, can you find some “failures,” that turned into treasured experiences and served to make you who you are today? This is just one example of how you can’t get it wrong.
Born this way
We are so wired to avoid pain and difficultly that we often don’t allow ourselves to even try new things because we might “fail.” But it is in this scared place standing on the edge of new awarenesses where growth can happen if we are willing to turn off autopilot and take a chance on something different.
Failure is a myth
What I am telling you is: Most of the time: “Failure" is a myth, a story our ego tells us to keep us safe from perceived pain, loss, struggle. That is the ego’s job to keep you safe from the saber toothed tiger around the corner waiting to pounce. That is how deeply engrained this mechanism is, it goes all the way back to cave man days, when hyper-vigilance was the only way to stay alive.
My favorite
Which brings us back to my other favorite thing: compassion. First, understand you are wired this way and then compassionately meet the messages in the mind and body and in your story to find the way through to your newness.
