You’ve just realised (or maybe you noticed a while ago) that your ego has been sabotaging your success and happiness. And it’s time you faced it head on.
So you don't want your ego to run the show… but what do you do instead?
One of the most powerful tools my clients learn - or anyone really that I talk to if they have this roadblock - is to learn how to properly and resourcefully Release.
Now releasing doesn't mean looking the other way, forgetting you know or just cutting it off. We have all tried that at times and then it’s back to square one. It is worth doing this right.
Step 1:
Releasing is a process and it starts with awareness.
Ask yourself this question:
What is no longer working for me or never really worked for me and I'm still carrying it around, applying it to my life and seeing the negative impacts or effects of it?
Step 2:
The next step is to acknowledge why it no longer serves you and that there is a more resourceful way forward. Asking what is the more resourceful action or experience is important because it adds weight to the reason why you're doing this uncomfortable and unfamiliar work.
Ask yourself this question:
What is a more aligned and resourceful action or experience in this situation?
Step 3:
Then you come to the Release. The flowing, easy and graceful acknowledgment that (you may wish to say it out loud) “I no longer choose this” and then allow it to release through the breath, out of mind and from attachment.
That sounds graceful and simple and easy and it totally can be. You might find that just by acknowledging it and bringing awareness and also a very determined goodbye that it'll slip away easily because it's not aligned with you.
Although if you find it difficult for whatever reason and it crops back up and feels a little bit sticky - that is totally normal - simply apply self compassion, love, awareness and absolutely no judgment and try again when you feel like you can.
You can try as many times as needed to allow yourself the gift of Releasing.
This is the necessary work, and you won’t be getting away from it for long if it is your desire to live the life and create the business of you dreams. There is as much internal work as there is external - don’t skip it.
Share with me what has sparked within you - I’d love to hear how releasing goes for you!
And if you know that this conservation needs to go further so that you can go further too, book a free call where we can connect and chat about your particular dreams and goals and let’s make some magic.
