An inspired Life: The Hidden System Holding you back from Everything you Desire
from An Inspired Life · host An Inspired Life
I know, that’s a big call. The hidden system holding you back from everything you desire? That’s truly how I felt when I interviewed executive coach Mihir Thaker. He grew up in India in a one bedroom flat with 14 people and in his early 20s had 200-300 people attending his heart meditations in the middle-of-nowhere Kansas. Success! But there was something holding him back, sabotaging his success in the background… The SYSTEM he lived in. You see, we’re all born into a system – a family – and our survival depends on being a part of the system. So if we try to step out of the boundaries of that system, we feel threatened and unconsciously we’ll do whatever we have to – even sabotage our own success – to make sure we’re a part of the tribe. In some family systems it could be becoming a criminal that threatens your place, but there’s also a level of success and happiness we can’t reach beyond without threatening the very love and sense of belonging we crave most. Mihir explains this compelling perspective, that actually makes way-too-much-sense, and thankfully he also explains how we can breathe and grow through it so we can reach new heights for ourselves, and free the people we love too. Inspired takeaways include: • How changing the life you live – your environment – can be done at various levels (behaviour, capability, belief and identity) and how getting to the root of it – the identity – creates more profound, longer-lasting changes • How our childhood upbringing plays a significant, and often very unconscious, role in the lives we have today – and how to take back control • Practical tips to ensure you don’t let the system around you hold you back so you can have the success you desire without fear of losing the love and belonging you deserve • How to come back to the present moment and recalibrate when triggered by external circumstances • What to do when you come up against the edge of your comfort zone so you don’t fall back in If you found this podcast valuable, please ‘Subscribe’ in iTunes or in your Android Podcast app (we recommend Podcast Addict) so you receive every inspirational update.
