The Inner Strategist

Encouragement- how much do you really need? So many successful people talk about the support and encouragement they got that helped them, but if you're surrounded by encouraging people but you still don't take that first mini step, then what? In today's episode I explore what bugs me about this, what you can do to take action anyway, and some cues that tell you you're off track. It's okay to like being encouraged, but when you are a slave to it, how much can you really change? To contact me go to https://elaineblidgeon.com/contact

When you are in a new situation, what do you do? Do you cling to others to support you? Do you tough it out and go for it anyway? We all have ways of coping with new stressful situations, some avoid, some confront and some get clingy and needy on others. In today's episode I talk you through a situation at my speakers club and the reaction from two people new to it. Hint: though standing in front of others can be scary, this is not the real reason why you are scared. Listen to what is and what you can do to stop the fear.

When you think about what you want, and all the things you've tried, would you agree with me in saying that there is still something holding you back, that if that were not there, you'd be doing more of what you want in your life? I agree, me too! And that's why I advocate being a rule breaker. I have been one all my life, only thing is, I got so much negative feedback that I stopped and played by their rules, just for an easy life. But what I also noticed is when I play by my own rules, my life works better for me. So join me as I share with you my plan for living more authentically me, and becoming a rule breaker for a better and happier existence.

If I say to you be more selfish, you're either going to guess why you should be or shocked at the idea of being so. So what if by NOT being selfish you can't be as happy as you want to be, now what would you say? Only when I learnt how to be selfish did I go from a anxiety ridden, paranoid unhappy person, to a happy, centred and want to spread happiness wherever I go type of person. Be selfish, and listen to this episode, you'll be so glad you did. Got questions, contact me here

Apparently it's never too late to have a happy childhood, but if this is true how do we do this?

Nothing hard to do here, just shift your mindset and you're all set on having your past experiences stop negatively affecting your present and future.

We go to a coach or therapist because we want more clarity on our 'stuff' but what would you say if when you said you couldn't do something, they said , of course you can just do this... and basically they discount your experience and your feelings, apart from feeling justifiably annoyed, what else can you do instead? In today's episode I discuss how I got triggered and what you can do to stop feeling the negative effects of being discounted/dismissed. For any queries, go to https://elaineblidgeon.com/contact
