I used to be a big fan of soap operas growing up.

No kidding, when I was 4 years old, I knew all of the characters and plot lines of Days of Our Lives. To this day, even though I haven't watched it in years, I could still tell you all about Hope and Bo and John and Marlena and the villainous Stefano.

I loved how ridiculous they were … people "died" on a regular basis, and just as quickly came back to life. Shocking pregnancies were par for the course. Dramatic cases of amnesia happened every other day. And no one ever worked! They just looked fabulous and had intense conversations over lunch.

And while I definitely wouldn't recommend modeling your life after most of those plot lines, there's something about the regular bouts of amnesia that's worth considering.

In this week's blog I'm talking about why our memories are sometimes the ONLY thing that keep us stuck, and why administering yourself a bout of selective amnesia might be the most productive thing you could ever do.

I originally wrote this blog nearly 3 years ago, but the topic has been coming up over and over again both for me and my clients lately, so I decided it was time to dive back in and update it with my latest thoughts!

NEED HELP FORGETTING YOUR OLD HABITS?

We get it. It's one thing to say, "Hey, what if you just forgot about all the times you failed and how often you've felt not good enough and hopeless?" It's quite another to actually change that pattern, especially on your own.

If you've reached a point where you're ready to stop hoping things will change and start knowing that they'll change AND ...

If you want individual attention, someone to hold you accountable, and the benefit of our substantial experience focused solely on you…all so that you can make more progress in a matter of months than you'd make in years on your own, then 1-on-1 coaching may be ideal for you.
