How to Create A New Belief

Our brains need specific evidence to create a belief.

Your job is to find specific evidence for why the beliefs you want to believe are already true.

With enough evidence consistently fed to your brain, it will accept anything you tell it.

No matter what you want to believe, spend your time finding evidence.

A July Goal in Progress

One of my July Goals to redo my office has officially begun. Here are a few snapshots. Looking forward to sharing the before and after photos soon!

How to Take Action

After doing hundreds and hundreds of coaching sessions, I discovered that there are four main areas that stop people from taking action:

1. Not having a clear goal

2. Not having a simple plan

3. Not scheduling their actions

4. Having unhelpful thoughts

So I made a flowchart. Enjoy!

Who Knew Exercise Could Be So FUN?

In line with my bonus goal of making all of my goals FUN, I’m going to my third spin class in 3 days today.

If you had told me 3 months ago that I would be getting super into cycling, I’d think you were CRAZY.

I’ve never been good at biking, but it turns out that spin class is amaaaazing.

The one I go to has a giant screen at the front, and it shows a virtual reality cycling track in made-up worlds, and goes to the beat of electronic music. The lights are off, there’s an instructor yelling motivational quotes and the best bit – you get to choose how much resistance you put on your bike.

It is SO fun, and I can’t wait to go again.

Bonus July Goal

I know we’re already a third of the way through July, but I’m adding an extra goal this month: FUN.

Things were getting a bit too serious.

I could feel myself starting to stress out and then I was like WAIT A MINUTE. Goals are just for fun!

So fun is my highest priority this month.

How do you inject extra fun into your goals?

I Joined a Gym (Again)

Today, I joined a gym (again).

On March 1st, 2020, I joined a gym in Brighton, UK. We all know what happened in March 2020 (if you’re reading this like, waaaay in the future and have forgotten – the COVID-19 Pandemic hit enough of the world for a global lockdown). So the gym closed (although, more to the point, I moved back to New Zealand a few days before lockdown).

But something else happened around then. I developed what I thought was chronic shoulder and back injury, but turned out to be something called TMS, which is SO curable. You can read all about my journey here.

I’ve never felt so blessed to have the movement of my body.

I did a 40-minute spin class today that 3 months ago would have had me on the floor in terrible pain 10 minutes in. I completed it without any issue AND did an aerobics class an hour later.

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you might know that each week, I rate myself on eight different areas of my life and then work on how to improve each area. Health & Fitness has been a solid 8/10 since I healed my chronic pain, and now I want to push it to a 10. I’ve always resisted going to the gym because I never really know what to do, but recently I found a gym with some fun classes (and it’s only a 7-minute walk from my house, which helps a lot!).

I’ve already found a gym buddy on my first day, and I’ve got high hopes.

Of course, the classic issue with the gym is that most people don’t go as much as they say they want to.

We all think “this year will be different.” But don’t actually change anything to ensure that it is.

So I’m taking on the identity of someone who goes to the gym.

Someone who LOVES to exercise.

It’s who I AM now.

Future Self Exercise

Think about your future self.

Who do you need to be TODAY for that version of you to come alive TOMORROW?

What do you need to do in your 20s to have the life you want in your 30s?

Action Is A Skill

You’ve got a BIG goal. You know what you want. 

But you haven’t taken the action to get it… yet.

So many of you have told me that fear, anxiety and lack of motivation hold you back from taking consistent action towards your goals.

I hear you so deeply because THIS WAS ME.

My own brain used to always be in the way of me getting what I wanted.

I was the queen of having two super motivated days and then falling off the wagon again.

Until I learned the skill of taking action and started hitting my goals every time.

(And I say skill, because taking consistent action really is a skill, and I can teach it to you.)

I’m holding a How To Take ACTION Masterclass this weekend on Zoom.

You don’t want to miss it.

Keep Going

When you know DEEP inside that you’re meant for something HUGE, it’s the most frustrating thing to look around and see your life not where you want it to be.

When your goals are still just goals.

When you feel like you’ve been at it literally forever.

When you’ve told your entire extended family about your dream and they kinda doubt you and you want to prove them wrong and you’re STILL not there.

It’s exhausting.

I used to be there, in 2018/2019, before my business took off.

But that’s why I’m qualified to tell you that it’s worth it to keep going.

When you’re not there yet, it doesn’t mean you won’t ever get there, I promise.

No matter what your goal is, if you’ve started, you’re in the middle of achieving it.

You’re in the middle of being a full time entrepreneur.

You’re in the middle of writing a best selling book.

You’re in the middle of becoming a world-touring speaker.

You’re in the middle of becoming the healthiest version of you.

You’re not lost, you’re not stuck. 

You’re just in the middle.

The only ones who make it are the ones who keep going.

Keep going. It’s so worth it.

My Style

I’m a go go go, push your limits, do whatever it takes, go all in, hustle-coz-you-love-it kinda girl.

But that’s not the only way to go after your goals.

Some of my closest friends and mentors are much more "Go with the flow, let it be, breathe into it” kinda people.

There is no right way to achieve your goals.

There is only the way that resonates with you.

I publicly share my ideas and philosophies on the internet because it might be the vibe that helps you.

But if it doesn’t, I totally invite you to ignore everything I say and go and crush your goals anyway.

If your way works better for you, DEFINITELY do that.

We can have different views and still all crush our goals.
