STOP NUMBING & GET UNSTUCK

I didn’t look like I was leading a sort of double life – a young lady who may not have guessed was engaging in self-destructive behavior when no one was watching. Or maybe people were watching, but my mix of behaviors was fairly effective at numbing my shame.

If this resonates with you… we may be kindred spirits! You tell yourself it’s not that bad – you’re not hurting anyone else.

You distract yourself from a reality you don’t want right now. Maybe you want to flat-out avoid something and have found your favorite numbing behavior that works for you… well, kind of… except it’s got you stuck, locked up in a sort of prison (and you don’t know you have the key).

Do you stay super busy, overwork, people please, rage, or radiate hypercritical vibes? Do you harshly judge others (even if silently)? Are you numbing out by using food or exercise, bingeing on Netflix, hiding under the covers, or socially isolating?

Do you stuff your feelings with sex, love, or relationships? Do you avoid or fend off unwanted thoughts and feelings by over-spending, over-shopping, or going into debt – or do you engage in other risky behavior to keep the fear and anxiety manageable, the self-criticism quiet, and self-loathing at bay?

Here’s an idea! Leave the group of Ladies Who Numb and join the growing number of successful women actively stopping their behaviors – freeing themselves from numbing behaviors and negative patterns. Get unstuck and stick with the winners.

ARE YOU READY TO FACE WHATEVER YOU’VE BEEN AVOIDING SO YOU CAN WORK THROUGH WHAT IS BLOCKING YOU FROM YOUR GOALS AND DREAMS?

It is possible to dissolve limiting beliefs and resolve painful thoughts. For example, I had the thought: I must finish all my work before I can enjoy myself. I thought I could not go walking at the park or meet a friend for lunch if I hadn’t handled all my business at home and for work. The conundrum came when I couldn’t imagine ever finishing it all. Therefore, I wouldn’t engage in self-care or self-love.

CAN YOU SPELL LONELY, RESENTFUL, UNHAPPY AND BURNED OUT?

For years, I held this belief subconsciously and didn’t know it was the culprit of lots of numbing behavior that yielded painful consequences. I would not exercise or make plans with friends because I always had more stacks of work to do. Then I’d procrastinate – and get caught up on Netflix, polishing off the popcorn in the cupboard… I thought I could not win.

However! I got coached through the limiting belief and set myself free from self-defeating thoughts. The more enjoyable and effective prescription for me became self-care first – which changed my mindset. I began experiencing yummy endorphins from workouts, taking time for my morning reading and journaling, and engaging in other self-love activities like breakfast, getting my nails done, handling doctor appointments, getting coached, and checking in with friends.

To say I felt new freedom is an understatement! Just imagine life without the big limiting belief in your life and all that emanates from it. This work is transformational.

If you want to get to the root of what’s limiting and blocking you – even though you are undeniably successful in other areas of your life – book a call and let’s talk.
