Today we’re digging into what it takes to make the impossible happen. While this challenging process is applicable in various periods and areas of our lives, it is especially useful when we’re doing the work to rise up and come back in the aftermath of challenging chapters and big life transitions. In these moments, a lot of things feel impossible, but the truth is, anything that feels impossible is a clue sound where we need to shift our way of being, adopting a new paradigm from which to engage with everything and everyone around us. This is not easy work, but looking deeply at our subconscious programming and winning strategies, allows us to make the impossible possible.

What to Listen For:

My favorite book - The Last Word on Power by Tracy Goss

My five-phase matrix for calling your desire forward and making the impossible possible

Phase One - Uncover your impossible desires

“What feels impossible to you from where you stand now? What, if it were possible would be worth dedicating yourself, your time, your energy, and your attention to? The thing about what feels impossible to us is that it clues us into our deep desires. And sometimes our secret visions. We often keep these desires and visions close to our hearts.”

Common reasons we might ignore our own desires

The truth about our desires - we can’t have the desire for something that isn’t actually possible for us

“Possibility is not a promise. It's a call to action. You have to do the work to change your context.”

Stepping into a new way of being in the world

Taking entirely different actions to move your desire into reality

Identifying your desires - even if you don’t have the whole picture

“You just have to have a starting point. So you might not know what it means to find healing and a new sense of wholeness. You just know that you want it and that it feels impossible. You may not know what it looks like to have a deeply connected, supportive, nurturing partnership. You just know that you want it and that it feels impossible. You might not have any idea what it means to have a successful thriving business or career where you make a ton of money every year. You just know that you want it, and that it feels impossible.”

Phase Two - Eliminate your stoppers

“Our subconscious stoppers are the things that keep us from taking any action towards what we say we want. And they're also the things that cause us to self-sabotage when we finally managed to make some progress towards our impossible desires and visions. The reason for this is that our subconscious mind is wired to keep us exactly where we are, even if it's painful and uncomfortable because it knows that what's known and familiar are things we can survive.”

My own, personal patterns of stopping

How our subconscious programming shows up though our winning strategy

How our winning strategies keep us stuck

Our unique core wounds - how they are developed and the role they play in how we move through this world

“In order to win and succeed in life, we start to lean on a specific strategy that inherently reinforces the idea that only some things are possible and that we must operate in a specific way to stay safe, secure, and successful. This becomes so ingrained in our way of being in the world that we don't even realize it's happening”

Identifying your winning strategy in four parts

Part 1 - What are you listening for?

Part 2 - From what actions do you expect power?

Part 3 - What is the desired outcome?

Part 4 - What are you trying to avoid?

Phase Three - Decide and declare

“Deciding and declaring are critical for making the impossible happen once we decide and not just like, ‘Oh yeah, I think maybe I'll try and make this happen,’ but full mind, body, and soul decide that it is happening, it allows us to begin shifting our way of being in the world. Once we shift our way of being so much becomes possible and accessible for us.”
