It’s so damn easy to let time go by when things aren’t that bad.
We get comfortable in it. Life isn’t fully aligned and humming with aliveness for you is it? But you probably can’t complain, right?
We even say that!
“How are you?”
“Can’t complain…”
About 15 years ago, I took a job that was only ever supposed to be a stepping stone. I had arrived in Melbourne after living on the Sunshine Coast for a few years, and I needed a job fast. So I took the first one I could nab, managing a shoe store. The longer I stayed there, the more I started to doubt myself and what I was capable of. I lost my confidence. I shrank.
But I was good at making the best of things and I found ways to create meaning in my day in whatever small ways I could. And it wasn’t so bad when I did that. The trouble with making the best of things is, things have to get real bad before we take action. And we can delude ourselves that things aren’t bad enough to change for way too long. And that’s what I did. And I got really good at it.
Five years I stayed there – FIVE YEARS! Living a life that wasn’t so bad. But it was dull and lifeless and it couldn’t have been further from my heart’s true desire. I started feeling anxious and uneasy all the time and not knowing why. When that finally got bad enough, I reached out to a NLPer for help and everything changed… fast.
I started walking a life path that was aligned for me, life became richer and more colourful and truly meaningful and I haven’t stopped since.
One of the biggest turning points for me was attending a 2 day NLP Course. I didn’t have strong outcomes for learning NLP other than it had helped me so much already. I was just following my interest and my curiosity and my heart! That weekend was truly mind expanding and I was absolutely blown away by the magic of NLP and what is possible.
This is why I run my NLP Essentials weekends. Because I want to give you the opportunity to not only experience a magical introduction to NLP, but to step into a life that fits you like a glove, not a nice life, not an ordinary life – a magical one… a life where you feel powerful enough to breathe aliveness and colour into every day.
