Success Leaves Clues

Is the evidence you’re collecting supporting your future or is it keeping you stuck in the past? In the process of redefining yourself as… {insert your new definition here}… your awareness of what is true will start to shift.

Collecting evidence can help with your new definition. We all know how easy it is to collect the proof of what a failure we are, what we should’ve/could’ve/would’ve done/why we are not the success we wish we were. Sticking with those definitions will not help us see the success we can be. With a conscious new definition of who we are, it is surprising how the evidence we seek begins to show up.

I worked with a client who had the belief that once you’ve hit menopause losing weight is not possible.

Her proof was:

  • Everyone around her who had gone through menopause complained how hard it was to lose weight
  • She’d always had a tendency to be on the heavy side
  • Research shows that’s how it is eg about 30% of women ages 50 to 59 are not just overweight, but obese
  • Scientific studies prove it, e.g. lower estrogen means metabolism slows

The truth was, she had no evidence that showed her otherwise.

When I suggested to her that she look around her and see the older women who were slim, active & happy she was surprised these women even existed. They do exist and once she sought them out they seemed to be everywhere!

My point here is not about menopause or weight gain, it is about seeking out that which you want, finding that:

  • It does exist
  • People like you have that/do that/live like that
  • You have actually done it yourself, at least once and, if you keep looking, probably more than once
  • You can do it for yourself, not just once but so many times that it becomes second nature to you.

A lot of what holds us back is that we don’t believe what we want is possible because we’ve not seen it, and no wonder – we’ve not been looking for it! For so long we’ve repeated to ourselves, and it’s been repeated to us – it can’t be done.  It can! Actively seek out what it is you want. Look for the evidence of the success you want. You will shift from skepticism to belief and from there you are unstoppable. What you want will seem effortless and easy.
