You don’t have a problem . . .

I taught school for 20 years – grade 6 to post graduate, and here’s how we created solutions just by the way we thought about seeming obstacles…

“I believed in the students’ ability to learn and be successful, and we practiced ways of building that belief in them. I encouraged my junior-high students to let go of the idea that they had a problem when they needed help. Instead of “I have a problem,” I asked them to say, “I have a challenge.” I would then respond with “Tell me about the challenge so that we can find a creative solution.” Rather than “I need help,” they were asked to use “I have a question.” I would then respond with “Let’s help you find the answer.” “I don’t understand” became “I’m ready to learn,” and “I don’t get it” shifted to “Can you please explain it another way?”
For the first couple of weeks, they would roll their eyes, but would humour me and go along with it. By the end of September, they were speaking with each other in similar ways. They had learned that the way they asked for help set them up for success. They came to focus on what they wanted rather than what they didn’t want. If the Inner Critic was doing the asking, it was harder. If their questions arose from the Inner Coach, learning came more easily. Creative solutions were much more fun to think about than problems, and the culture of the classroom was established.
When the students stated a problem, they recognized that they began in a hole. That meant they needed time and energy to crawl out of the hole before they could start getting what they wanted. Shifting their perceptions gave them a shortcut to what they needed . . . and everyone loves shortcuts! I reminded them that they were placing creative energy wherever their thoughts were focused. When they formed a link between the concept of challenge and the opportunity for creative solution, their thoughts remained on the right side of the line.”

  • I forgive myself for believing I have a problem.
  • I give myself permission to open up to a creative solution to this challenge I am experiencing.
  • I choose to let go of problem-solving by focusing on creative solution-seeking!
  • I am free to allow creative solutions to show up!
  • I experienced a creative solution to… I like how that feels.
  • I am a creative solution seeker, and it is empowering!

 

I’m interested in hearing how you navigate your way from “problem” to “solution”!

It’s NOT about “fixing”

My Dad was a veterinarian, and when I was a little kid, I remember my Dad “fixing” peoples’ pets. I was told it meant that the pet couldn’t be a mommy or a daddy and have puppies or kittens. As a result, when I hear someone looking to “get fixed” I have a private chuckle.

When you come from the place of “something is wrong with me” you are beginning from a deficit – the feeling of being a victim. You have to use time and energy to dig yourself out of that pit first before you can move forward. What if you made the assumption that it is “all perfect” and this is exactly what you need in order to achieve what your empowered self really wants?

How does that empowerment feel for you?  Strong? Capable? Creative?

How does the “poor me, I am a Victim” place feel?  Weak? Useless? Broken?

Which feeling would you rather have as your “norm” or your “go to”? Re-patterning trains your mind to habitually go to the place of personal empowerment. The series of statements, when practiced regularly, provide a stairway for you to climb easily out of the “pit” and into a place of empowerment.

  • I forgive myself for believing I need fixing.
  • I forgive myself for believing I need to be in this “victim” place – it isn’t me.
  • I give myself permission to see where I am capable, and expand that.
  • I give myself permission to find my pace of empowerment in this situation.
  • I can feel broken, or I can feel capable – I choose.
  • I am free to notice how capable I am in other situations, and bring that feeling to this place.
  • I know what it feels like to to be capable, I got myself up, dressed, fed and out the door this morning!
  • I am capable, and this is an opportunity for me to become even more capable! I’m up for the excitement!

Switching. It isn’t as easy as it sounds because there is some practice required to get it to the place of habit. But it isn’t nearly as hard as you’ve felt it was in the past. Promise!

 

Namaste,

Completely change your perception

“Assume: to take as being true, for the purpose of argument or action” This is the Concise Oxford Dictionary definition…I’ve been observing the assumptions people make, and find it fascinating how often they are from the “worst case scenario” side of the line.

 

  • I forgive myself for believing I have to buy into assuming the worst.
  • I give myself permission to consciously practicing making positive assumptions – and check out what happens!
  • I’m going to be making assumptions – I can make them from either side of the line – I choose to assume the best and move forward from there.
  • I free to assume the best outcome today when I…..
  • I expected something good to happen, and it did when I…
  • I’m consciously practicing making positive assumptions.

 

We all make assumptions, all the time – we need to in order to move forward. My simple assumption – well, truth be told, I have more than one.

Some of my favorites are:

 

This, or something even better!

Everything that happens is an opportunity for me to show up as my best self.

If everything was perfect, and it is all perfect, then…

This will all make sense later, so I’m believing it all makes sense now and acting from that place.

 

You are always operating from assumptions- what you believe to be true.

Try one of these on – it will completely change your perception of whatever is occurring…I DO suggest a bit of practice with these assumptions before you apply them to the big mountains in your life…and with practice you’ll find making positive assumptions transforms those challenges into something much easier to navigate.

Namaste,

Fortunately you can re-pattern IT

You wouldn’t consider having a close friend who called you names and was verbally abusive.

You wouldn’t partner with a person who continuously berated you for being “not good enough”, who put you down at every opportunity and spoke nastily about you to others.

Yet millions of people do…and you may be one of them.

Consider this: your subconscious mind is several thousand times more powerful than your big, beautiful conscious mind…AND your subconscious mind never rests. It is “on” 24/7 – even when you are asleep or in a coma. The subconscious mind runs the show, keeps your heart pumping, your lungs breathing, remembers every experience, stores and retrieves information – and IT is totally responsible for the outcomes in your life. IT determines your success. IT rules your behaviour, and for most of us, IT is not very kind.

Fortunately you can re-pattern IT!

 

  • I forgive myself for believing I’m not good enough.
  • I give myself permission to focus on my positive attributes and expand them.
  • I can beat myself up, or I can encourage myself. I choose to support positive change by encouraging myself.
  • I am free to make an encouraging, supportive list of my best attributes – and ask a friend to help.
  • I know what it feels like to encourage others, and I have encouraged myself in the past when I …
  • I am learning to be as encouraging of myself as I am of others.

 

Learning to be “your own best friend”, your “own best partner” and supporting yourself will dramatically create more outcomes in every aspect of your life – career, finances, relationships, health.

 

Namaste,
