5 Common Excuses we give ourselves when we fear failure and what we could say to ourselves instead. Overcoming fears is never going to be easy, so by changing our language around them can make it easier. Our minds are interesting things and if we’ve had some of these fears for a long time we will need to work a little harder to overcome them. Firstly acknowledge the fears, recognize the challenges, set the correct expectations and then open the pathway that you get to create to meet that challenge. 1. ‘I’m not capable so there’s no point in trying” can be changed to “This goal will be difficult to reach” By acknowledging the difficulty you can begin to create a strategy and a plan and figure out what you need to reach this challenge. 2. ‘”I don’t want to try” changes to “I’m afraid to fail”. By acknowledging the fear is the first step to confronting it. Breaking down the fear into bite sized chunks and manageable steps to reduce the “overwhelm” and “procrastination”. 3. “Its not worth it” changes to “This is going to take a lot of effort and preparation”. The more meaningful and life changing the goal is – the more rewards, empowerment and life changes you will get, so it is well worth it. 4. “I’ll get to it when I’m ready” changes to “ Setting a clear start date makes me anxious”. By holding ourselves accountable to a date prevents further procrastination. It creates the kick start you need to get going. 5. “If I try hard and fail, I’ll be devastated” changes to “I’ll give it a try and see how it goes” . Switching off the excuse mindset is key. Acknowledge the fear and imagine the successes. FEAR IS A LIE

Do YOU need to make changes and struggle to keep them going? Exploring the reasons why you chose or need those changes can help you with your inspiration and motivation. Inspiration comes from within inside us and change has a greater chance of occurring. Motivation comes from external sources outside of us. Which one works better? It's inspiration and when you add in your personal drivers like comfort, significance, certainty, variety, connection or contribution there's a greater chance of success. YOU are worth the effort

Reprogramming Our Thoughts Have you heard the saying “We are our thoughts” or “Thoughts become things”? The latest developments in neuroscience are proving that we can reprogram our brains at anytime and at any age. When we get 'stuck in a rut' we have created a large and deep pathway in our brain that does not serve us. So how do we need to tackle these destructive or un-serving negative thoughts and create a new brain thought pathway? There are 4 proven ways to help us change our brains. One of these ways is by using positive affirmations. Repeatedly saying a positive statement numerous times a day helps reprogram our brain to “look” (both consciously & unconsciously) for something positive. It ‘fine tunes’ our RAS (Reticular Activation System or Brain Radar as I call it) to seek out what our positive affirmation is saying. Repeating these affirmations often and daily helps us change our thoughts, close the negative pathway and create a new positive thought pathway.
