Awareness is awesome. But you can understand your pattern and still keep repeating it. Ever had that moment when something finally clicks? Holy shit. THAT is what I’ve been doing. You see why you say yes when you want to say no. Why you keep putting yourself last. Why you make a plan, then talk yourself out of doing it. It feels like a breakthrough. And it is. Awareness is the first key to change. You cannot change a pattern you haven’t noticed. But here’s where you can get stuck. You talk about it. Read about it. Understand where it came from. You can explain it perfectly. Then the next time it shows up, you make the same frickin choice!!! Knowing you keep putting yourself last doesn’t automatically move you to the front of the line. That takes a different choice. And following through when the old BS belief system pipes up. Awareness is the beginning. Then we must Mindshift the Mindsh*t. Here’s your quick win for today. Pick ONE pattern you’ve noticed. Just one. Finish this sentence. “I keep noticing that I...” Then ask. “What am I telling myself that makes this choice seem necessary?” Maybe it’s, “They’ll be upset if I say no.” Or, “I have to finish everything before I can rest.” Or, “If I can’t do it perfectly, why bother?” Now choose one small action that goes against that rule. Say, “Let me think about it,” before agreeing. Take the break with something still unfinished. Do ten minutes of the thing you keep putting off. Do it today. Give yourself something more than another realization. And remember, there will be things you haven’t noticed yet. You can’t see your blindspots. That’s why they’re called blindspots. Pay attention when someone you trust points out something you keep doing. Before explaining it away, ask, “Where might that be true?” You don’t need to see everything today. Start with what you CAN see and make one different choice. What have you become aware of, and what will you DO differently today?

It's simple. It takes about 10 minutes. Start with ONE thing in your life that you keep trying to change. Your body. Your money. Your business. A relationship. Your follow-through. Whatever keeps showing up. Then work through the questions. Don't try to get the “right” answers. Don't overthink it. Just notice what comes up. Because somewhere between what you want and what keeps happening instead is a pattern. And that pattern may make a whole lot more sense once you see what's underneath it. You can't MindSHIFT what you can't see. The Go Deeper Mindshift audit is here when you're ready to go deeper. But if you're wondering where to begin? START HERE. And when you've finished it, come back and tell me: What did you see that you couldn't see before? 👀 Grab the MindSh*t Audit here: MindSHIFT the MindSh*t™

And you are. You remember what everyone needs. You follow through. You find a way. Then the thing you wanted for yourself doesn’t happen. Again. You tell yourself there wasn’t time. But when you look at the day, you were last before the day even started. Everybody else’s stuff was already ahead of yours. Then you feel guilty even thinking about changing that. “What if someone needs me?” “What if they think I don’t care?” You can care about people without making yourself the person who always waits. MindSHIFT the MindSh*t™. Look at one thing you keep putting off for yourself. If it mattered to someone you loved, would you keep telling them, “Maybe tomorrow”? How much longer are you going to keep putting yourself last? Imagine how much better you would be for everyone else if you put yourself first!! Filled your own cup and poured out to everyone else from the overflow?

You can wake up with the same thoughts and still make a different choice today. Catch one familiar thought. Ask, “If I stopped treating this as a fact, what would I do next?” Then do one small piece of that. MindSHIFT the MindSh*t™.
