Mindset and Me, The Journey -Part 1

Changing your mindset is the key to positive change in your life.

What stories are you telling yourself? 

Are you living in the state of not feeling enough, of not having the clarity and courage to move forward into the live you truly want?

For a long time, I was stuck. Stuck in the cycle of settling, in the being fragmented, cruising through life but yet not achieving made me feel like I was doing a good enough job for others but not for me.  I just felt like I wasn’t enough, that nothing I did was enough.

I was Mummy, Wife, Daughter, Sister, Friend, Colleague and more but still I had no idea who I was, how to feel truly fulfilled or what it was that I even wanted in life or identified with.

I did what was expected of me, worked hard and strived for the next move up the ladder, bought a house, got married, had children, kept working, kept striving and ultimately……. Got lost! I could do all of the things that were expected of me, I could follow the guidelines and I could conform (to an extent) but who was I really and what did I want in life?

My Mindset was so fixed I had no idea how to grow.

I had always thought things needed to change, people needed to change, situations needed to change but actually what needed to change was me.  

I needed to empower myself to be all that I wanted to be. I had to allow myself to make choices and push my own boundaries. Not to relearn about myself but actually how to learn how to be the new version of me.

I had been in my well-paid corporate job for nearly 20 years and for the last few of those years had been very unhappy.  Since returning from Maternity leave I had felt pulled in so many more directions.  I desperately wanted to continue to do a great job at work as well as trying to balance my family life with young twins at home and a husband that worked away for weeks at a time.  I felt like I had moments of clarity and was on the right path but nothing truly lit me up and drove me forward. I was still trying to fit in with everyone’s version of me and still losing my own version, whatever. 

I had to start working on me.  I changed the way I approached life slowly.  The way I exercised changed, the way I ate changed, I started to put less restrictions on myself and give myself space to grow.

Rather than trying to be the expert at everything I was trying to look at things with a learner’s mind again.  Connecting back with myself. Checking in with my body, my intuition and trying to be my own guide rather than listening and being led by the opinions or expectations of others. Slowly the I should mentality became a maybe and now I should, is only a whisper. 

I have learnt and I’m still learning every day, some more than others, to tell myself positive stories. To give myself a break and to stop being so hard on myself. We carry labels with us from childhood, teens, jobs, all the roles we have in life and it’s time to think of ourselves as who we are not what people have called us.

Let’s walk the path of who we are truly meant to be.  Let’s switch those positivity levels up, move away from self-doubt and resentment and into confidence and self-worth.  I see you, you are worthy, desired, happy, confident and beautiful. Are your ready Be You, Find You and Love You?
