Why do you feel afraid?

Are you afraid? Do you feel stuck? It’s Mental Health awareness week. *

People approach life with a mixture of hope and doubt. These work in opposite directions. Doubt pulls you away from reaching your dreams, and hope catapults you forward into the ‘now’. Our experiences have learned too much. They remind us of all the pain, suffering, and negative experiences of our past. Therefore it tends to regard change as doubt. When positive change happens – our inner voice says,

🙈 ‘It’s too good to be true’.

Even if you think being skeptical is worthwhile, realise that doubting places huge limits on our potential.

🤷🏼‍♀️ So what can you do to overcome this? (And let’s face it we all doubt ourselves sometimes.)

🤷🏼‍♀️ Every time you notice a thought filled with self-judgement, pessimism, anxiety, worry – these are all feelings of doubt which question your ability to go forward in hope.

Pause. Notice the thought and say to yourself,
👼🏻 “I deserve better than this. Hope is my best friend’.

💃🏻 Now you can seek out opportunities and hopeful signals. You refuse to welcome negativity. The more you focus on what you have, the more of that you welcome into your life. It is your choice. You have put yourself back in the driving seat.

🤦🏼‍♀️ Negative emotions are like weeds. They need to be pulled out at the root before they take hold.

💪🏻 We need to learn to live in the moment and be here now. The more you focus on what you have and where you are now, the more possibilities, opportunities, and hope you have for the future.

😬 Doubt and fear, worry and anxiety, will win the day when you are not aware.

🤯 People can choose and are totally free to believe in the worst-case scenario.

💃🏻🕺🏽Life balance coaching includes focusing on what you can have, be, achieve, and feel rather than what you can’t.

💃🏻🕺🏽I am always striving for more of that myself! Health is more than just being the right weight. If you feel happy, in control, and in balance then your weight will melt off because one of the most common reasons for overeating or making poor choices is because you don’t feel good enough, you don’t feel you deserve it, or you don’t have good habits.

💃🏻🕺🏽 I know, with the correct guidance and knowledge we can all feel better, improve our health, and achieve life balance.
