Most of us underestimate our own value and potential.
?Look past your reflection in the mirror and see the truth, I am always, and in all ways, greater than I think?I am?. Bruce D. Schneider, founder of IPEC.
I meet so many different people through my healing and coaching business. Although I am located in Atlanta I get the opportunity to work with people all over the world. If there is one thing everyone has in common, it’s listening to the inner voice that says ?you are not good enough?.
There are different versions to this voice, of course. It might be more subtle, like? ?it’s not going to work?, ?he/she is better than you?.
The result is usually the same: it limits your ability and lowers your self-esteem. It brings up fear, anger, guilt and shame.
As a Life Coach, I always ask my clients questions about their values, their gifts and their attributes. It helps me to see who they really are if they could look past their reflection in the mirror. I can’t even tell you how exciting it is for me when a person’s low self-esteem is transformed by the end of a session.
I simply need to remind my clients of the gifts and attributes they already know they possess. We all know, but do we remember?
Awareness is THE place to start. Make two lists to help you look past self-deprecation:
1. What are the diminishing messages I hear about myself today?
2. What are 6 adjectives people would use to describe my gifts and attributes?
You might be surprised at what comes up.
Great post, Michal! It certainly makes one think…
I have experienced a profound shift since participating in the chakra workshop and life coach session.
The chakra workshop was subtle, yet very powerful. After the guided meditation, I no longer have repetitive nightmares that had kept me from sleeping well for several months. What an added bonus!
After my life coach session last week, things have been blossoming in my life, and I have a more open and loving attitude toward myself, my process, and my path toward the goal of being a radiant being.
THANK YOU, MICHAL!~ YOU ARE WONDERFUL!~
Thank you for writing, Heather. I really appreciate your feedback. I love your goal of being a radiant being and I feel that you are already in a process of moving fast towards achieving your goal. I love working with you and people like you who are willing to make changes in their lives. Coaching is so powerful when you are willing. Personally, I experience tremendous changes in my life being coached myself and working with meditation, Reiki, affirmations and more. I am excited when other people experience results just like I do!
