Now it’s time to reflect. So many people are under the illusion that growth requires us to achieve big goals and accomplish great feats but often, it’s in the small things - like reflective practices, including Take The Brakes Off self-clearing and journaling - where our personal and professional evolution unfolds in the most profound ways. That’s why today I want to share my reflection ritual with you. It’s also a great practice to guide your leadership team through (or clients, if you’re a coach).

Growth implies change. And change can be challenging for all parties involved. You making positive shifts and changes in your life can bring up and out all sorts of triggers in your partner. However, it is possible to live our full expression within a relationship that expands and can grow with us, and that’s not going to hold us back.

Have you ever wondered why certain people always seem to get it all while some are continuously slipping from one bad experience to the next? Is it luck or bad fortune? Maybe a little. However, there is way more to it than that. The truth is YOU create your reality. To understand how this could be possible we first need to understand the magnitude and power of our subconscious mind.

If you've been led to believe you can't always have what you want or you'll have to work hard in order to get ahead... that's exactly the reality you'll find reflected back at you. Regardless of how many positive affirmations you repeat, if your subconscious is holding onto these types of beliefs, you'll find yourself stuck in scarcity.

If you are SO ready for your dreams but it just doesn't seem to happen, its likely due to what lies in your subconscious. When you try to expand into your big dreams it can trigger subconscious fears or trapped emotions keeping you stuck. Its time to stop resistance in its tracks and acknowledge these messages from your subconscious so you can break free and make the impact you were born for.

Being a conscious business owner is one of the most rapid paths of personal growth! As we grow and expand, our subconscious sends us roadblocks to keep us in safe, familiar territory, (and we all know that is not the best way grow a business!) So it's vital, that we do not let these roadblocks deter us, but instead learn to recognise them for what they are: opportunities for growth and expansion.

If you keep finding yourself feeling stuck, paralysed, overwhelmed and down on yourself, its time to look a bit closer at what’s really going on below the surface. It’s highly likely that you’re actually standing in your OWN way and it's time to do something about it!

I see our physical body like an empty shell or like a car that needs to be claimed so we can drive it around. What’s blocking us from being fully in our body is trauma that we’ve stored, trapped emotions and old beliefs. We need to clear all this baggage out of the way so we can claim our space and fill it with whatever feels amazing.

Self-doubt is one of the main forms of resistance. It’s a form of resistance to shining your light, expressing who you are and ultimately being a bigger version of who you were before. It shows up as worthiness issues, holding yourself back and not letting yourself be seen for who you are. This sabotage pattern is strong, so watch out. It’s trying to “protect” you from exploring what else is out there. It pulls you back and keeps you small with the intention of shielding you from pain. Whatever you do, don’t stop and give into the doubt, as otherwise you’ve let sabotage win and the World will miss out on what you’ve got to share.

Seeing our dreams begin to manifest into reality is exciting and expansive... that is, until we hit our upper limits and find frustrations coming up or things falling apart in other areas of life; feeling paralysed, spinning, unclear, unable to take action. The truth is, it's not really about that presentation that you've got to get out there or your book or your story or your message, its really about the past experiences, memories and traumas your subconscious has locked in that is telling your being it’s not safe to step out there and any further up. It's time to overcome those upper limits and shine!

Our deserving level is the level to which we (subconsciously) believe we deserve to have something. Regardless of how much we consciously think or practise affirming that we deserve to be do or have something we really desire (may it be a new car, more highly aligned clients, a new deal or project, wealth, success, happiness, health, freedom or else), if our subconscious mind holds a different belief, we won't get to have or experience it. Find out what you can do to change this!

Do you sometimes feel like you need to choose between areas of your life? Either “purpose” or “money”, "success" or "time freedom", "a good income" or "doing what you love", "safety" or "visibility"?

Many years ago, I too thought that I had to choose between “love” and “money”—until I realised that you can have both, and that all it takes is for us to bring our brain halves and thinking together.

Holding on to generations worth of shame is not serving us and is actually standing in the way of us sharing our higher purpose with the world. We as humanity hold and carry so much shame that unknowingly keeps us trapped in the non deserving and fear circuit. 

“I can’t”, “what if” and “who am I” thinking...

We might feel flawed, not good enough or have painfully high expectations of ourselves. Often, we are our own biggest critics and it is keeping us trapped. Are you ready to remember who you really are at your core?

Your body is a representation of your subconscious. It holds onto all sorts of memories, beliefs and perceptions for you, a ton of messages. These messages might show up in the form of niggling feelings, dreams or passing thoughts, or get stored in the body in form of tension, blockages, constrictions, flattening sensations and emotions. Like a child that wants undivided attention, your body will only let these messages go, if you are willing to stop, acknowledge and release them.

Many people want it: to live their purpose, generate a great income doing what they love and making a difference at the same time.

Unfortunately not many people get there. Sabotage, procrastination, fears, distractions and other patterns have a strong grip and bring most people to a halt and point of giving up.

Most people think it's their own fault when things don't flow and/or business is not happening. They think they aren't made for it, blame their circumstances and start doubting themselves. On my own journey from near bankruptcy to multi-figure purpose-driven business, I've established 4 keys that are vital on the journey to monetise your inner calling and 'having it all' which I'd like to share with you today…

You know the times when you feel inspired to set some new goals and intentions?

It might be losing those 5kg that just don’t want to budge, saving for that trip to Europe that you’ve been dreaming of for years, or finally following your inner calling of fully living your purpose and not holding back anymore.

You feel excited and inspired with the thought of your desired outcome and set out optimistically.

However, sooner or later, something happens that brings up an underlying form of guilt, feelings of shame or fear in you; in other words not feeling good enough or paralysed.

By now most of us have realised that we need to be a vibrational match to what we want to create and manifest in life.

However, that’s often easier said than done.

We can tell ourselves to be “positive” and “grateful” all we want, if our body (as a representation of our subconscious) holds a different belief, it’s not authentic and the Universe will know. This is called cognitive dissonance and will make manifesting your dreams impossible.

To truly become the creator of our reality, we first need to understand that we need to look at our triggers, struggles and “yucky” emotions and acknowledge what they are trying to do FOR us, instead of seeing them as the enemy that we need to get away from.

It all started 5 years ago in the back of a yoga studio in Coffs Harbour. After already working in my field for about 10 years in various places, I was giving a treatment in the clinic room out the back.

My client looked up and said: "Sand! I didn't even know that THIS is what you do!!!" I felt so misunderstood and unseen! That was the day I decided to learn all about clarifying my true purpose, my message and how to communicate it to the World, so I could actually attract and help my ideal clients, fill my clinic and make the bigger impact I was deep down called to do. Read on and find out the 4 steps to empower yourself in your business too!

 By looking at and making friends with fear and triggers, we can free ourselves out of the burden of conditioning and actually step into who we are. 

Life is duality. There will always be dark and light, night and day. Stop running away from your struggles and notice what they have to do with your purpose...

We are emotional beings and our emotions are experienced in response to our environment. Emotions are a normal part of life, as we experience and interpret the world through them. In order to lead a healthy, full life, we need to move through all emotions fluently. Emotions are supposed to be felt, processed by the body, mind, and spirit connection, and then at some point let go of. On the other hand, those “not as good” emotions often follow a different trajectory and can block you from success…
