Creating new neuro pathways

You know that in between feeling when trying to break a habit? When trying to shift your Neuro pathways? 

The automatic to the old and often push to the new? That push and pull, like tug a war?

The tension that rises? The roadblocks that surface?

It’s to keep us remaining the same and never grow.

Because different is scary so our mind and body goes into protection mode. 

Resistance is safety. Is protection. But we must lean into her if we want to evolve.

Remember you are deserving of change. That growth is necessary. That we are human and are called to evolve.

When we face our attention to these moments we face our own set of beliefs, maybe denials, and our pain that is trying to divert our attention and automatic responses system to remain the same. To remain safe.

We must continue to interrupt the negative thoughts. To play referee in what and who we surround ourselves with. To pause when something feels off. To keep steering into the direction of your desires and shifting towards a better you.

For me, I’ve witnessed myself in these situation and it hit me like a gut punch:

I’ve noticed two very specific interferences during these times of shifting.

One: this layer of self-doubt, of not trusting or believing in myself. Thinking I needed people to believe in me so I can believe in myself. I never had a parent even say I believe in you.

Two: fear of being seen as my authentic self, because it can mean people may not like who I am at my core.

There. That gut punch. 

But we are all full of ugly and beautiful experiences and layers of lives lived and we can only be ourselves and we’re not for, everyone. I will take the gut punch over and over knowing I’m being honest and authentic to me and my life’s unfolding. 🦋

2022 & 23 was all about this whole concept for me. Believe was my word of the year. Which in turn is all about trust. Believing myself. Trusting myself. 

My life—in my hands.

Anyhoo,

Keep pushing to create the better habits you are hoping for. I hope today brings you a step closer! ❤️
