Extra income direction

When I start to think and plan ways I can make extra income my brain has soooo many ideas. However, where I keep finding myself getting stuck is I immediately jump to how I’m going to do it and this is where I notice the self-doubt and thoughts of ‘you’ll feel awful/look like a failure if it doesn’t work’ come in. This completely takes away all my energy and stops me in my tracks. To the point any attempt to get around through thought work, putting pen to paper etc to navigate around this thought it seems impossible – so this is me reaching out to break that cycle.

 

 

Answer:

 

HEY! YES YES YES! Break that cycle! We’re so glad you’ve come.

Okay, so first question…what’s the problem with feeling awful? I’m asking because I want to bring awareness to the story that your brain is telling you about it. What if that’s not true? I have the same question about looking like a failure. So what? In whose eyes would you look like a failure and why does that matter? What is another story that’s possible to tell yourself if your idea doesn’t bring extra income?

I have so many questions and ideas about flipping the script, but let’s start here and get curious about your unintentional model right now…the IM questions can come when you’re ready to move there!

C: Ideas for extra income
T: You’ll look like a failure if it doesn’t work
F: You mentioned self-doubt, but I wonder if that’s the right word for the F line…what do you think?
S: Zero energy, paralyzed
A: Stopped in my tracks, can’t do thought work, don’t pursue any idea
R: I don’t give myself an opportunity to fail trying something

Notice what comes up for you when you see the model written out and we’ll continue coaching when you come back to us.
