This is the healing work that comes before the action work. Before we dive into breaking free from perfectionism, you need to understand what this journey is and what it isn't. This isn't another how-to course teaching you tactics and strategies. This is about clearing the internal blocks that have been stopping you from using everything you already know. Simply listening and allowing yourself to shift is the work. No action required. Welcome to the back roads that lead to the highway.

[00:00:01] Welcome to this beautiful healing journey. [00:00:05] I'm so glad you're here. [00:00:08] Before we dive into this journey together, I want to share with you what this is really about and what it's not. [00:00:16] Because understanding this from the beginning will change everything. [00:00:24] So first of all, what this isn't, this isn't another how to program about how to get things done. [00:00:32] There are so many incredible programs out there teaching you how to do things, how to become a spiritual life coach, how to create your own guided meditations, how to do meditation, how to build a website, how to get clients, how to make 10k a month, how to set up your funnel, how to run enrollment calls, how to write a book, create a course. [00:00:55] We have programs teaching all these things. [00:00:59] And the people who don't have these limiting beliefs, they just take these programs, they run with them, and they get great success. [00:01:07] The problem is many of us have limiting, negative beliefs and things inside of us that are unhealed, that make it almost impossible to do any of the things that we learn about. So there's all these books around how to do this, how to do that. You can buy all the books, you can do all the courses, you can get all the coaching, all the mentoring, all the best support, all the accountability. [00:01:38] But if there are these internal blocks, then we're not going to do anything with it. Or we might start and then we stop. We start and we stop and we give up and we beat ourselves up and we perfect and we try this and we try, try that. [00:01:56] Not because you're lazy, but not because you don't care, not because you don't want to do it. And it's not because the information isn't good or won't work. [00:02:04] It's because of what's happening inside you. [00:02:08] It's like having the shackles on the chains holding you back. There's all this stuff that stops us actually doing the things that will change our life. [00:02:19] We want to take action, we want to do it. [00:02:22] We learn about what to do, but then it doesn't happen. And the reason is because of perfectionism, limiting beliefs, old wounds, fear of judgment, feeling like a fraud, waiting to be ready. We're going to get into all this in the program. [00:02:37] So this program is not a how to do things program. [00:02:43] This is about releasing all the things stopping you from moving forward. It's clearing out negative ideas, wrong thinking. And when I say wrong thinking, I mean programs that have come into your mind from outside that are stopping you from moving forward. [00:03:10] So there are wounds, there are programs, there are limiting Beliefs. [00:03:16] There are all kinds of unresolved feelings. [00:03:19] And because this has taken many, many, many decades in many cases or even longer to get programmed into us, and it gets reinforced every day when you pick up your phone and you look at social media and go on the news and look at the websites and look at the movies, we get programmed the wrong way again and again and again. [00:03:40] And so it's going to take some time to unprogram all of those things. [00:03:46] And so there's going to be a lot of repetition and reprogramming going on. We got programmed through repetition. We got programmed by hearing the same things over and over again thousands of times in different ways. And now that's all gone in. [00:04:02] This program is about undoing all of that so you can finally be comfortable being imperfect and moving forward, you're going to have the courage and the power and the capacity to do what you need to do. By the time you finish this, and I want you to know some part of you is going to think, probably, yeah, but I need to do something now, right? And that's good because it shows something is stirring within you. [00:04:33] What we're doing is we're just gradually allowing ourselves to come into a more aligned inner state where after you've gone through this, and you might need to go through it more than once if you want, but you don't really have to, you will be in a position where you can't wait to take imperfect action, where you can't wait to do things. [00:04:58] So I wrote another book called Get It Done. And Get It Done is a book about how do you take massive action in 21 days and get things done. And the people who've done that book, done, done that practice have written books in 21 days. They got their first client in 21 days. They've set up their website in 21 days. They've created a course and sold it in 21 days. [00:05:19] Miracles can happen in very short amounts of time. [00:05:23] But if we have all these unresolved inner issues going on, we're not going to do a 21 day challenge or we might start one and we give up. Maybe you've already done part of the 21 day challenge, maybe you got some results and then you, then you abandon ship. [00:05:40] So I've realized, and the reason I'm doing this is because there's all this to do stuff, how to do all these things that work really, really well if people actually do them. And then there's loads of people who, who just won't do any of it long enough for it to work or they haven't even started. [00:06:01] And the reason they haven't started and the reason they haven't done it is because of all these unresolved things. [00:06:07] So the 21 day challenge and the programs we have, they definitely work. People have made $20,000 a month. People have created courses, programs, retreats, everything, right? There's loads of success stories. [00:06:18] I want to support everyone in getting the success that they want in their life and in their work and enjoy the process. [00:06:26] And this is like the prequel for all the self help and to do type work. [00:06:35] There's millions of to do books and courses and programs all over the world that are absolutely wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful and have proven to work. [00:06:47] This is how do you get in a position internally so you're actually willing and capable of doing all of those things. [00:06:57] And as we repeat these ideas and you shift and reprogram, then everything that you want to do will be so much easier to do and you'll enjoy the process. It's going to be fun for you to move forward in sharing your beautiful gifts with the world. [00:07:18] So to finish up, I want to share a little story with you. Many years ago I learned from a business teacher and he used to be in a band and they were a terrible rock band trying to find this place where they were going to play a concert to some little pub somewhere in the middle of nowhere in Oregon. So they're driving around and they got totally lost in the middle of nowhere and they stopped at a gas station and this old guy comes out and he looks them up and down, these strange hippies with long hair and he looks at where they want to go and he looks at them and he says, you can't get there from here. [00:08:00] You can't get there from here. [00:08:06] Now that's a ridiculous statement, but he was right in some ways that you first have to go around a whole bunch of things to find the main road where you can get where you want to go. [00:08:18] All of the to do books and courses and programs, that's like the main highway, that's like the fast track to achieve whatever you want. It's a beautiful road trip just waiting to be done and all kinds of great things that can happen for you along the way way this journey is going through the back roads, through the countryside, going through the strange and wondrous things that have to be experienced on the way to the highway. [00:08:52] This is starting with where you are with all the fears and programs and self lack and self doubt issues and all this stuff and is it worth it and should I do it and what if it doesn't work and all that stuff. [00:09:06] We're starting where we are and we're going through this gentle, loving journey to let go of all of that baggage, to open our hearts and minds to the truth, to the potential that we all have. [00:09:24] So that when you arrive at the highway, you'll be ready to get on that highway and really go for it and enjoy it and have a wonderful time. [00:09:35] This is the program I wish I had been given right at the beginning, when I started writing my first book all those years ago. If I'd learned this back then, it would have saved me an enormous amount of stress, self doubt and worry. [00:09:55] And I hope this saves you years of stress and allows you to fully love yourself and live your highest dreams. [00:10:07] So for now, just ready yourself for the highway. [00:10:12] This is about doing the inner work so that you're ready. And the inner work is simply listening calmly, asking the questions and answering them, feeling your feelings and hearing these things over and over again to reprogram, rewire yourself. Just let it happen. This is a very yin, very relaxing, a very meditative adventure getting you ready. So by the time you do arrive at the highway, you are absolutely ready to do it and you're excited to do it. Imperfectly, you're going to feel the nerves a little bit and you'll be happy to do it. You're going to jump in from the deep end, but you'll be ready. Or you can even jump in at the shallow end, or you can even just wade in, but you're going to be ready to move forward because all these inner things have shifted. So as you go through, enjoy it, don't think about doing anything. If you want to do something, you can. But you don't need to allow this process to work on you. Allow yourself to gently and calmly re experience your fullness, your wholeness, your completeness as you release and let go of all those things that no longer serve your highest good. [00:11:36] So much love and enjoy the next session.
