Episode #20 How To Take The Leap Into The Unknown, Even When You're Batsh*t Scared!

Bounce Back Like A Badass! with Cat Coley

Well that title pretty much says it all, am I right? Usually when we're on the cusp of something that's groundbreaking or we just have a strong feeling that making a big change or taking the risk is going to change our life - our monkey mind takes over. We then spend time in our heads (that be me!) and overthink the process, create our pros and cons list, waiver between yes - no to maybe - possibly....back to "I don't know". Only to decided to do one last research, one last check to see if we're going to land safely on the other side and before we know it we've talked ourselves out of the LEAP. And in doing so we tell our subconscious that we're not the type of person that takes those kinds of risks. The more we repeat this pattern - time and time again - the more we ingrain in our subconscious that we're not the leaping kind of folk. We're the stay in our safe zone kind. Even when something incredible is literally standing in front of us - that requires us to take even the smallest of jumps (we're not even talking about a leap here) - we won't do it. Because we've trained ourselves (created the belief - therefore the habit) that we leap ONLY when we know with 1000% certainty that we're going to land safely on the other side. Well, I hate to break it to you again love, that's never going to happen....so therefore you're never going to leap. So that life that you've always wanted, dreamed of, envisioned, lost sleep on, thought about since you can remember will be just that...a dream. Because nothing exciting ever happens in your comfort zone. Your wildest dreams will not be found in the confines of your sofa or hiding behind a laptop #sorrynotsorry. This life of ours is meant to be lived, not to be overthought and over calculated. You're not going to land safely every time you leap - but you will (if you allow it) be able to learn what to do the next time you do it. And I will tell you that the more you leap into the unknown - the more you tell your subconscious that you call the shots here and that you're no longer going to be living on autopilot - being guided by old beliefs and fears of what the future can look like for you. So, if you're ready to leap in to the next phase - then I'll see you inside the episode as I explain The Top 4 Steps To Take Before You Leap Into The Unknown. They are simple (aren't they always?) but super helpful in helping you create the life that you're deserving of and are worthy of. And you my dear are absolutely capable of creating it! Here's to your continued journey into becoming who you're meant to be and living the life you're meant to live! xx ~ Cat
