I woke up at 5:45am today.
This was significant because somehow I had the mental block that I couldn’t wake up before 6am.
With the arbitrary limitation, I told myself stories like – I would be too tired to show up powerfully in coaching sessions.
Or, I wouldn’t have the energy to sustain the day.
Yet, I’ve been reflecting a lot lately on finding my own patterns:
- Where have I held myself back?
- Who am I being right now that creates my situation?
- Who do I need to be to build a prosperous coaching business?
- What patterns do I want to challenge to get myself there?
Because I know what got me here won’t get me there.
If I want the results to change, I need to evolve myself.
“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” ~ Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
Waking up before 6pm happened to be the pattern I broke today, as I got admitted into a group coaching program.
These coaching sessions happen to fall PERFECTLY on my calendar without interfering with all my prior commitments:
- My own workshop is scheduled half hour after the call
- The call occurs right before my family arrives for my wedding and the next one is right after they leave for Taiwan
- The time is possible for me to join even when I am in Taiwan
It’s magical. It’s like I’m meant to be in the program!
However, there are more to it.
It’s my openness to see the possibility.
It’s me feeling the imposter syndrome AND applying to join the group anyways.
It’s the AGREEMENT the coach created with me powerfully – I show up at 6:30am every other Wednesday until the end of year. No matter what.
It’s my willingness to be with my arbitrary limitations – accept them, love them, and maybe change some of them when I am ready.
It’s my commitment to myself to evolve.
I’m excited to see what patterns I get to discover and break in the remaining year!
How about you?
What are some arbitrary limitations you have placed on yourself?
How can you notice them and thank them for what has worked for you so far?
If these limitations don’t work anymore, what does it look like to break some of them to get closer to where you want to be? (hint: it feels pretty damn good!)
Love, Wen
