You might be looking in the wrong place... let me explain EP 102

As I journaled this morning I wrote about a topic that consistently comes up for me. Why is it that I have this vision of who I want to be when I grow up, the kind of father and husband I want to be, how I want my life to be and yet, when I get the opportunity to move in that direction or to do something productive for that vision, I’ll watch Netflix instead!? Usually, I’ll subconsciously follow up that behavior with talking smack to myself, beating myself up or even calling it self-care (insert a strong “bull$h*t cough)! Our personal development peeps would call it, negative self-talk. I find that my negative beliefs and insecurities are so deep, they often go misdiagnosed. When this happens, its easy for me to distract myself with another video on “3 ways to combat procrastination” or “how to manifest millions in 30 days.” The truth is, most people, including me, don’t need another course, strategy or game plan. What they really need is to do the deep inner work that focuses on fear, insecurity, self-worth, and shame. For that is where I find most of my blocks lie... DEEP within my subconscious. One of my favorite lines in the big book is, “self-knowledge availed us nothing.” For me this means, knowledge is important but it’s not my solution. If you haven’t already, I’d like to encourage you to get with a mentor, Sponsor, counselor, therapist, or support group and start working through some of your deep beliefs, thoughts, emotions and insecurities that are holding you back. For this is where you will find... You! If you think of someone that should hear this podcast or read this post, do them a favor and share this with them.
