I've had a few moments of self-pinching glee this week: new clients, positive results from my medical screens, weight loss continuing. Can it really be this easy and this good?
Yikes! Where did that self-sabotage voice come from? Why shouldn't it be easy? Why couldn't it be this good? What if it only got better and better?
And that's where you'll find old limiting beliefs lurking, ready to bite your ankles as you take another step forward. When it gets good, it gets scary.
Marianne Williamson's oft quoted poem reads, "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us."
Ok so maybe I'm afraid of my 'light'. And maybe I'm afraid of being TOO rich, happy, and hot...
How does that happen?!
It's our ego that worries about change, inventing 'problems' that might come with the good stuff to scare us off and keep us anchored to status quo.
Are there any problems to being more rich, happy and hot? Only the ones you invent of course!
So how do you crack the self-sabotage?
Awareness is the first and easiest strategy. Asking, what problems might happen if I really do get everything on my wish list?
- I might get bored.
- It won't feel worth it if I don't struggle for it. (yowsa - did not know that one was there!)
- What would I do with all that cash? (sheesh - need to spend some time planning expense of millions)
- What would I write about if I wasn't 'overcoming' something? (I really need to change that story!)
Awareness of the inner voice and all its quoibles is often enough to dry the fears up on the spot. It's as though you exposed the roots of troublesome weeds to sunlight and they simply shrivel and wither right then and there.
Next it's about playing with new thoughts and new ideas. Things like,
- What if the less I tried the easier it got?
- How about, the more I enjoy, the more I share and have to say.
- And maybe, I am in constant resonace with abundance and success.
I am soooo liking ease and grace - so much more than struggle and drudgery.
Can you ever be too rich, happy, and hot? Not on my watch!
With love and appreciation.
