In last week\u2019s email (check it out HERE on Medium<\/strong><\/a>), I shared my dirty little secret about the lie I told myself…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which was really covering up my fears\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s worse?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My fear covered up what I needed to let go of <\/span>so I could start making progress in my coaching business\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s what\u2019s crazy\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only took me 3 simple steps to free myself from that fear and break through my mental block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Those 3 steps help peel away 3 \u2018layers\u2019 just like peeling an onion…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how to use these steps to break through your own mental blocks that might be stopping you…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step?<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Recognize the lie that you\u2019re telling yourself.<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut Colette, I don\u2019t lie\u2026 especially to myself!\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That may be true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your brain is wired to omit, distort, or obscure options and issues, and that can get pretty deceptive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it\u2019s not your fault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your brain is \u2018built\u2019 that way as a safety mechanism<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your brain is just trying to protect you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, even if you\u2019re not really lying, wherever there are mental blocks, there\u2019s some level of deception going on in the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I\u2019m just going to be blunt and call that a \u2018lie\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example… I originally thought,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have time for my coaching business because my family needs me\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As long as I told myself this lie…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…I had a good reason to avoid working on my business…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…which kept me from failing\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…and THAT kept me \u2018safe\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice that this thought seems like a completely rational statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second step…<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Identify the fears the \u2018lie\u2019 covers up.<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

My fear?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My fear was the fear of putting 100% into my coaching business and failing<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third and final step?<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Decide what you need to let go of.<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Hint: It’s not usually what you think it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…I thought I had to let go of being a good mom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, in reality…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…I had to let go of using my family as a scapegoat for my lack of success in my coaching business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound ugly? It should!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you realize what you need to let go of…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll feel like a cat hocking up a furball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will be so disgusting…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…that you\u2019ll never want to go back to the old patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s one of the fastest ways I’ve found to ‘turn lemons into lemonade’…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
