Hey gorgeous,
Today I wanted to share the 5 most common traps I see in myself, and in my clients when it comes to creating the HELL YES business and life they desire and KNOW they are meant to have.
In the past, these traps have personally held me back from expressing my TRUE self and potential and I’ve also seen these traps hold my clients back time and time again.
But don’t worry, because with your awareness, you can overcome these traps and manifest the life you truly desire.
Ready?
Let’s start with the Comparison trap.
This one is INFECTIOUS AF. Seriously, be aware.
It is SO easy to compare yourself to others, especially in today’s social media-driven world….with all the artificial filters, “fake” people and misinformation out there.
You might compare your looks, size, hair colour, hair thickness, body shape, messaging capabilities, type of program, type of clients, sales process, price of your services, how you share your message….so on and so forth.
The list of things to compare yourself with could LITERALLY be infinite.
To overcome this trap, you GOTTA BE TAPPED AND TUNED INTO YOUR SOUL.
When you are Soul Aligned, and have a knowingness and certainty INSIDE that you are taking aligned actions and your business is ALIGNED to what is most important to YOU….then when you see other people doing their thang…it doesn’t freaking matter.
Because YOU know what matters.
Because you are in YOUR lane.
And you are playing YOUR game.
Which is truly the only game that matters.
Next trap…is the FEAR trap.
I was probably caught in this sneaky trap for about 18 months when starting my online coaching business.
I was so scared of what…
>my parents thought of me
>my chiropractic patients would think of me if I truly shared what was on my heart and how I viewed health, the world and more esoteric studies
>my colleagues, and people in my network….
And I was scared of receiving criticism publically for what I wanted to share.
And this kept me silenced for MONTHS.
It kept me from taking action to grow my business, share my message and help those that were raising their hand, wanting the knowledge that I had acquired and loved to teach about.
If there is ONE skill I would recommend cultivating, aside from tuning into your Soul, it’s the ability to dissolve fear quickly.
Having this skill will be SUPER helpful in allowing you to have confidence and certainty taking aligned action from Soul, regardless of what the potential or actual nay-sayers are contributing.
Next trap…your beliefs.
Your beliefs are the lens in which you view life. They influence what you think, feel, perceive and of course, the actions you take. Which is of course going to affect your results.
The trick to moving past this trap is to cultivate a habit of being present, so you can discover what thought loops you are stuck in and how they might be creating your results.
This my friend, was a GAME changer in generating more income in my own business. And can be used for any area of life…from your health, money, career and relationships. This trap can be a GOLD MIND when you discover what is in your mind, and then shift it to what you prefer.
Next trap…the Self Doubt trap.
So many people I know, including myself at times, don’t take action because self doubt comes up.
Luckily this is an easy trap to overcome.
First….identify what your doubt is all about.
Then, notice where you feel the doubt in your body. Feel all the sensations and emotions. And when they pass, notice if you have any limiting beliefs. Reframe the beliefs then take your Soul Aligned action.
Easy right? The trap in this trap is trying to think your way through the doubt. This won’t work. Trust me.
FEEL the doubt. Watch it transform.
(I have a very efficient process for this, DM me if you want to know!)
And lastly, the final trap of this series is…
The Attachment trap.
We all have desires and dreams and things we want to bring to life in our business.
Of course.
Yet sometimes (actually often!) we can get attached to the form, or HOW it will unfold for us.
This simply blocks the infinite opportunities and possibilities in which our dreams can unfold.
So the paradox is, having a strong intention or preference for what you desire, yet at the same time having NO attachment to it.
How do you do this? You set your intention (journal, affirm, visualize…or however you set intentions…) and then just be present in your life, in the moments, and the next aligned action to take will present itself. Then take action.
And then repeat.
Easy right?
Easy if you believe it 😉
I trust this helps,
You got this,
You always did,
Dr. Shelby
