    Why you should break some rules

    Hey welcome to another episode of the Smash Your Own Ceiling Podcast.
    Today I’m talking all about why you should break some rules…
    Here’s what I mean. So often we can find ourselves bending over backwards trying to fit into other people’s rules of life, or trying to achieve things we think we ‘should’ be doing. Only to get ourselves into a place where we’re overwhelmed, tired, stressed and unhappy.
    So, what’s the answer? It’s time to break some rules…
    Here’s what I share:
     – My view on morning routines when I’m really not a morning person
     – Changing the ‘rule’ to fit me
     – The trap of following the ‘should’s’
     – How I maximise ‘in-between times’ in my day
     – The secret benefit to having boosters throughout my day
     – How instead of a morning routine I focused on a bedtime routine which worked so much better
    I’d love to hear about the rules that you’ve decided to break, let me know by leaving a comment.

    I am growing my confidence every single day

    Someone somewhere is waiting to hear what I have to say

    I am excited to be speaking to people and taking my seat at the table

    Money is always coming to me

    I am abundant in every area of my life

    Confidence flows through me when I need it most

    I have always got enough confidence whenever I need it

    I am loving serving my audience

    I always have enough time to get done what needs to be done

    ?The challenge of consistency – What do you do if you miss a day?

    Hey, welcome to another episode of the Smash Your Own Ceiling Podcast.

    So, at the beginning of January I committed and had every intention of publishing a podcast episode every single weekday.

    Things were going really well, until the inevitable happened…I missed a day.

    This is one of the biggest challenges when it comes to being consistent…and often leads to giving up.

    So, that’s exactly what I’m talking about in this episode…what do you do if you miss a day?

    I talk about…

    The things we say to ourselves

    What it really means, and what it doesn’t mean

    And what to do next

    4 Ways to Stop Fear of Success from Holding you back?

    Something that isn’t talked about a whole lot, is Fear of Success…

    This block can bring up all sorts of things like:

    What if I can’t sustain it?

    What if I get so busy that I never watch Netflix or hang out with the kids again?

    What if I fail or do something wrong?

    What if I burn out?

    What if I decide I don’t like it?

    What if everyone wants my money?

    What if my friends desert me for being too successful?

    All of which can cause you to put your foot firmly on the brake pedal, even though you’re still trying to push on.

    So, what do you do if this is going on for you?

    1. Shine a light on what about success worries you

    Just being aware of what scares you makes a massive difference, because you can start to see it for what it is.

    Just a fear.

    This isn’t an excuse to judge yourself or think that success isn’t for you, but an opportunity to think differently about it.

    2. Surround yourself with cheerleaders

    Who you surround yourself really matters. If you surround yourself with people on a similar journey who are all supportive and cheering you on every step of the way, and most of all understand how you feel, it becomes so much easier (and a lot more fun too.)

    Find your people (and if you’re struggling join my FB Group or the Smash Your Own Ceiling Collective)

    3. Celebrate every step

    This is such a simple thing to do, but works an absolute treat. By taking the time to write down the things that you’re proud of that day, the things you’ve achieved and the things that have gone well, you’re telling yourself that it’s these things that matter and not the things that have gone wrong. Plus it’s a great way to raise your frequency and to log your progress.

    4. Remember it’s all a matter of choice

    This is probably the most important of all.

    To remember that you get to choose.

    You get to choose what success looks like for you

    You get to choose how you’ll behave

    You get to choose who you get to spend time with

    You get to choose what everything looks like.

    This doesn’t have to follow old paradigms and beliefs or things that have happened in the past. Instead, you get to create the success in the way you want to.

    You get to step up…and step INTO your new version of you that will THRIVE and not just survive in your version of success, and to choose to be excited rather than afraid.

    The power of switching off

    Welcome to another episode of The Smash Your Own Ceiling Podcast.

    Today I’m chatting all about The Power of Switching Off.

    Now, as I’m writing this we’re coming up to a long weekend here in the UK, and switching off has been a topic of conversation for so many of my clients – and I have to say it’s something I see so many people struggling with.

    But there are so many benefits to walking away from the laptop and doing something else.

    So, today I’m sharing:

    – Why you might find switching off a struggle

    – The hidden benefits (yep we’re talking ideas in the shower here)

    – The small things you can do to switch off on a regular basis and acclimatise yourself

    I’d love to hear your thoughts, let me know by leaving a comment and if you’ve not already downloaded your copy of the 7 ways you’re blocking your own success click here
