Is it working?

It’s hard.

I get it.

There’s so much fear.

It’s not working now, how can this be the one thing I need?

What if it’s not the one thing I need?

What if I sink this money in and I don’t get the results that I want?

What if I don’t know what to say?

What if I’m not the right client for her – she probably has all of these other amazing clients that she is working with.

It’s probably a lot of money to work with her. Money that I don’t have.

What if I do it and it doesn’t work?

Then I will really be a mess.

What if this is just how I am – it’s not something that I’m even able to change?

This is so scary.

These are all thoughts that I had when signing up to work with my coach. They all felt so true, so real. They are the reason that I put off booking that call with her.

I knew that she could help me, I knew that if I got on the call with her, I would want to work with her. I knew that she could help me solve my problem.

And yet I waited.

And each day that I waited, I kept struggling.

Every. Single. Day.

I told myself that I was doing okay on my own. That I was still growing, that I was doing the right thing.

I told myself that I would work with her when I had the money, that it’s definitely on my to do list.

But I kept waiting. Still feeling like it wasn’t in my control.

Just kind of hoping that the stars would align and then I could book a call with her. Or that my problem would magically go away before that, and I wouldn’t even have to work with her.

Isn’t it fascinating that this is how our brains work?

We know that there is a solution for our problem, right at our fingertips.

And we still don’t do anything about it.

What changed for me?

Going from it’s not working, to it will work.

Going from I hope it will work out someday, to I’m going to figure out a way to make it work now.

Going from this is hopeless, to I can do something about it.

What reasons are your brain giving you?

And what do you want to do about it?
