What is the change you say you want to make in
your life, but it isn't happening for you? Whatever it is, competing intentions may be the thing that is standing in your way.
Do you say you want to make more money in your side-hustle business, but you tell yourself that you’ll never be able to make that happen? Do you say you want to have a baby, but you are afraid of getting fat? Have you been miserable in your marriage for years and you say you want to leave, but you think you won’t be able to survive on your own? Are you stuck in a job that
you hate, but you are afraid to go out for an interview?
Your mind believes what you tell it. If you tell yourself that you want to get pregnant and have a baby, your mind is going to
pull out all the stops to make that happen. However, if you are also telling your friends (or thinking to yourself) that you are afraid of getting fat, then your mind gets confused. This prevents you from moving forward in either direction because you are not being clear in your intentions.
If you really want to have a baby, then you have to stop giving voice to thoughts about getting fat or any other thought that is in opposition to getting pregnant or having a baby. You will need to condition yourself to dismiss and ignore any thought that isn’t all about the joy of getting pregnant and having a baby.
The same thing applies to breaking free of a job that doesn't satisfy you or a marriage that doesn't work.
Often, our competing intentions are not obvious to us. It's impossible to change something you can't see. I work with my clients to help them identify their competing intentions and beliefs. Once identified, we work
on how to eliminate the ideas that keep them from making changes or reaching the goals they want to achieve.
With loving support,
Linda
