We often focus on our goals and crafting a new future, don't we?
It's natural to want to keep our sights set ahead and avoid dwelling on the past—the old past that sometimes feels like a weight we'd rather not carry. We might shove it under the rug, buried deep beneath our bustling schedules or brushed aside by our reluctance to face uncomfortable truths.
But let's get real: those old hurts and traumas have a sneaky way of resurfacing when we least expect them, throwing a wrench into our plans for the life we envision.
Ever noticed how suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, physical pains like shoulder or back discomfort crop up? It's a phenomenon I've observed frequently in my clinic.
So, why do they stick around? And how do we kick them to the curb so we can bring in all the good stuff like wealth, awesome relationships, and tip-top health?
Our past experiences serve as the foundation for how we perceive the world and ourselves. It's like layers of memories and emotions, stacked up from the moment we enter this world. From the whispered conversations in our mother's womb to the societal norms imposed upon us as kids, every single encounter leaves its mark, shaping our actions and reactions.
By the time we hit adulthood, we're wrapped up in this big ol' blanket of beliefs and habits that steer our ship. Before we even hit the big 3-0, we're often leaning heavily on the opinions of family, friends, and society to gauge if we're on the right track—prioritizing fitting in over staying true to ourselves.
But as we mature, something shifts. We start yearning for freedom from these expectations, a desire to pen our own rulebook. Yet, as we attempt to shed these layers, there's often a simultaneous fear of the unknown. It's like venturing into uncharted territory, teetering between excitement and trepidation.
Take it from my own journey. I never really thought my childhood had any impact on me. I was too busy with school, work, and trying to have some fun in between. But when I moved to Melbourne and wanted to switch up my career, all those old negative comments I'd heard started playing on repeat in my head. It felt like I was stuck in a never-ending loop of criticism, just like I was back at home.
This process of rediscovering yourself can be tough, like being born into a whole new world where you call the shots. It's about unlearning all the junk that's been drilled into your brain by well-meaning but often misguided influences, and rewiring your mind to align with your deepest desires and aspirations.
And that's precisely what my new program, 'Embrace Your Past, Create the Future,' is all about—a 4-Week Breakthrough Container. This program is designed to dive deep into your mindset, utilizing powerful techniques such as NLP, Time Line Therapy®, and Kinesiology to reprogram your mindset and realign your energy, preparing you for the new future ahead.
You might think shedding the past is a waste of time, but consider this: when you're trekking up a hill - the new adventure, do you really want to lug around that heavy bag of emotions on your shoulders?
In Buddhist classics - The Sixth Platform Sutra, there's a saying: "本自具足." It speaks to the notion that we already possess everything we need within us, but sometimes, things cloud our vision.
So let's peel away those layers and let our inner light shine, shall we?
