Losing Sight Of Your Purpose

Hi guys, 

Does anyone feel like they are living for social media? 

Literally posting every move we make, every meal we cook, every item we buy…. Etc.  I believe a lot of my life was for social media and guess what it wasn't fun. 

You go out to do something nice and in the back of your mind you’re thinking I need to document this….

Do you think subconsciously we do it to show the world what we have? In order to make us feel better?. I think that has a big part to play. 

I will tell you a little story. In 2018 I decided to take my coaching more seriously, I decided to introduce my services to more than just people I meet when out and about, family and friends.

Now, prior to doing this, I was so authentic and I focused heavily on the ‘Mind’. My sessions were very deep and my clients were having serious breakthroughs. When I officially started in 2018 I began to drift away from the deepness. Why? Social media that's why. Although my sessions were still deep I began to drift away from the ‘Mind’ and more on instant results for my clients to get from A to B.

Now, don't get me wrong, every one of my clients achieved their goal and is doing big things. However, how do I feel,  as a coach? I felt empty, as though I did not give all I could. I felt as though I was lying to myself, I did not feel aligned in my journey.

I was scrolling daily, consciously, and subconsciously taking in what everyone else was doing (in their business). So guess what, my posts began to reflect what I was absorbing. This led me to then losing sight of how I truly wanted to be as a coach and how I had been coaching for the past few years (prior to 2018). 

I love the ‘mind’ and everything about the way we think and act. I studied psychology as an undergrad and I was intrigued by every aspect of the topic. I left this course wanting to pursue a career as a psychotherapist. Life took me all around the shop and coaching is where I landed.

I still hold that passion for the ‘mind’ and this leads to my next point. 

I had a realization that I was not helping as many people as I would like to, due to the above. I lost sight of my love and what gets me excited as a coach. 

Limiting belief

My passion is and has always been  ‘How people think and act according to their personal beliefs and perceptions’. However, As I stated my consumption of social media has watered down my coaching business. 

“I help women overcome negative perceptions of themselves to increase confidence to build businesses and start new careers”. I am not here to grow your business, I am here to get you started. In order for you to start you need to have that element of confidence. I am here to help you start your new journey in a field you love. 

My limiting beliefs 

Throughout my journey, I struggled with the story that was created in my head. My personal perception, my very own philosophy. These, in turn, were shackles on my feet. Until I identified that my thought process was holding me back, life was a frustrating and exhausting cycle. 

I had to stop blaming the world for my misfortune and take responsibility, which began with me identifying my limiting beliefs.

The moment I had this shift in my mindset and began changing those unhelpful thoughts, life began to change for the better. I began to receive opportunities in my life that I could never have imagined. I finally stepped out of my comfort zone, as those limiting beliefs were holding me back for way too long.

The moment you identify that the limiting beliefs in your mind are merely a ‘Belief’ and not ‘Facts’, your life will have a major shift into the direction you have always dreamed of. 

So, referring back to who I help and why…. This is it…… I have been through a journey of experiencing limiting beliefs. Had I known at the time and had the support required to live the life I live now I would have achieved what I have now, a lot sooner. 

This is why my business is designed to help you identify what is holding YOU back, and work through strategies and techniques to navigate through this, in order for you to live the life you want sooner rather than later. 

If you are struggling with limiting thoughts that are reducing your confidence to aspire to what you really want, my services will support you in overcoming these obstacles. 

Testimonial

“I’d say that it’s a great program for anyone struggling with low confidence and wanting to work on their future & career. It helped me get myself together and put practices in place to help me succeed personally as well as with my business. I always felt good and ready to tackle life after a session with Alana. My self-confidence had taken a hit over the last year and she helped me to build it. I also worked on my self-trust, time management, family hurt, etc with Alana and I honestly appreciate how far I’ve come”.
