ARE YOU STRUGGLING WITH NEGATIVE MINDSET? PROCRASTINATION? DO YOU LISTEN TO THE ADVICE OR FEEDBACK OF OTHERS? DO YOU TEND TO RUN FROM CHALLENGES OR ESCAPE SCENARIOS OUT OF FEAR YOU CAN’T PULL THEM OFF?

This is a post for all of you that are struggling to move forwards in life right now. Perhaps you have blocks, loops or stagnant repetitive mindsets that prohibit you from being able to move forwards with confidence and clarity….

If this sounds like you, then perhaps you need to have a little bit of a

CONSCIOUS RETHINK!

Now, we aren’t here to judge, shame of criticize anyone. Far from it, we are here to aid and assist you towards the version of YOURSELF that can stand on your own two feet and walk one foot in front of the other with clarity and conviction.

The version of you that doesn’t run from challenges but embraces them with confidence and positivity. The version of you that listens to others so that later on you can give sound advice to those that also need it!

We’re here to be honest with ourselves so that we can start to really make changes for the better. So give yourselves a listen to this audio about the TOP 5 TRAITS OF UNSUCCESSFUL PEOPLE so that if this sounds like something you do, you can start to undo it and get on a healthier path……

Conscious Re-thinking…Listen below

But for those of you that would prefer to read on…..

1) THEY COMPLAIN A LOT ABOUT EVERYTHING IN THEIR LIFE

The symphony of discontent. This is something that MANY of us to do some degree but for some of us, it is a relentless pursuit of self-woe and victimhood and they cannot jump off the rat wheel of pity to actyally do something about changing their sorry lives.

This habit not only drains their own motivation but also repels potential allies and opportunities. After all, who wants to be around someone constantly radiating negativity? By focusing on what’s wrong rather than what could be right, these individuals create a self-fulfilling prophecy of failure. They don’t realize that every moment spent complaining is a moment lost in creating positive change.

2) THEY GIVE UP EASILY

Fragile mindsets and SELF-DOUBT are a killer for overcoming challenges or facing situations that require you to tackle things head on. When the oing gets tough, many of us tend to just bypass the challenge and walk away, throwing in the towel rather than accepting the challenge.

This hinders growth, potential and is an automatic failure before you even start and it stems from the root of feeling inadequate, unable to perform and not having a strong and integral sense of SELF -WORTH (Check out our HELLO, IT’S ME identity special program that looks at exactly this – Worth, values and a clear sense of SELF is essential for growth potential)

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

This lack of persistence stems from a fragile mindset that equates temporary failures with permanent defeat. Instead of viewing challenges as opportunities for growth and learning, they see them as confirmation of their inadequacies. By giving up prematurely, they rob themselves of the chance to develop resilience and problem-solving skills—crucial attributes for long-term success.

Remember, every great achievement in history was preceded by countless failures and setbacks. It’s not about avoiding failure; it’s about having the grit to keep pushing forward despite it.

3) THEY IGNORE FEEDBACK OF ADVICE

We’ve all been there! It’s part of our ego development of ‘I KNOW BEST’ because it’s what helps us to identify an understanding and connection to the world around us however, if your ego is untamed and you walk through life with an arrogance or ignorance to the advice or feedback of others, you aren’t going to get very far

People that think they know it all therefore don’t need to listen to the feedback of others tend to seldom progress as they are stuck in their own limited and narrow minded viewpoint and potential. Progression means looking at other perspectives, considering other POINTS OF VIEW and considering everyone else in your field with a shared sense of respect for their values and viewpoints as well, whether you agree with them or not!

By dismissing outside perspectives, they deprive themselves of valuable insights that could help them course-correct and avoid potential pitfalls. Moreover, this behavior often alienates colleagues, mentors, and friends who might otherwise be inclined to offer support.

4) THEY MAKE EXCUSES AS TO WHY THEY CANNOT DO SOMETHING

Again, this tends to come from the root of SELF-DOUBT but also from the place where doubt becomes fear and insecurity – There is a lot of projection and blame / shame that flows in this field of ‘well, I could but….’ and it turns excuse-makers into victims of their own fears and inadequacies.

This habit is particularly insidious because it provides a false sense of comfort. By convincing themselves that external factors are to blame, excuse-makers avoid confronting their own fears and insecurities. They create a narrative of helplessness that becomes a self-imposed prison. The truth is, there’s nearly always a way forward for those willing to look for it but you have to be brave enough to try.

This then leads into failure and judgement. These people don’t like to fail or else they will be singled out by everyone else that has witnessed their falls but we all have falls, fears and failures. It is where growth exists.

DON’T MAKE EXCUSES BEFORE YOU’VE EVEN GIVEN IT A TRY

5) THEY OVER-ANALYSE EVERY LITTLE DETAIL

Paralysis by analysis—it’s the quicksand of the mind that traps unsuccessful people in a cycle of indecision. These chronic over-thinkers dissect every possible outcome, weighing pros and cons ad nauseam until the opportunity has long passed them by.

While thoughtful consideration is important, excessive rumination often leads to missed opportunities and stagnation. The fear of making the wrong choice becomes so overwhelming that no choice is made at all. This habit not only hampers personal progress but can also strain relationships and hinder professional growth.

AND A BONUS PIECE BECAUSE IT’S OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE RIGHT NOW AND PRETTY RELEVANT TO EVERYONE…..

I think we’re all familiar with this and as I have expressed STRONGLY MANY TIMES throughout ALL OF OUR WORKSHOPS , our nervous systems are wired to signal and operate according to the environment around us. If our environment has fog, static, stress, chaos and overwhelm, then our nervous SYSTEMS mimic the SYSTEM on the outside, therefore we are HARDWIRED for chaos and stress

Our bodies therefore pay the price and our brain tells our body “Hey, you’re dealing with a lot, why not put it off until tomorrow? You’ll be way more motivated then”

But then tomorrow comes and it’s still not got done and the channel of consistency has suffered a drought and that deadline is inching ever closer so the stress creeps in even more so what do you do?

You go burn your head in the sand with your face squashed between 2 pillows and pretend it doesn’t exist and it’ll all go away!

This all-too-common habit is a major roadblock for those stuck in life. Procrastinators constantly defer important tasks, opting for short-term comfort over long-term progress. They trick themselves into believing they work better under pressure, when in reality they’re just avoiding the discomfort of getting started.

The cost of procrastination goes beyond just missed deadlines. It erodes self-confidence, increases stress, and often results in subpar work. Breaking free from this habit requires cultivating self-discipline and learning to prioritize long-term goals over momentary convenience.

WHAT ARE THE SOLUTIONS TO ALL OF THIS?

Well guys, very simply…..You can do all the work, read all the books, do all of our workshops (and you should, they’re great) BUT

WITHOUT YOU putting in the effort to SHIFT yourself and take accountability towards SELF GROWTH, SELF-DEVELOPMENT, SELF-CONNECTION, SELF-UNDERSTANDING, SELF-RECOGNITION AND RESPECT, you’re likely going to fall right back into the pits. You’re likely not going to succeed

THE ONLY THING YOU NEED IN ORDER TO BETTER YOURSELF IS……YOURSELF

When YOU know YOURSELF then you can help others. When YOU know YOURSELF then you can create the life you want….

Don’t let anyone else tell you how to be. YOU DO YOU and guaranteed once you have this understanding, being authentically YOU is when life starts to fall into place so, please have the balls and the guts to go out into the world and be you in the best way you can be!

Honor your strengths AND weaknesses. Don’t run from things, face them and embrace them. Don’t put things off, take them on and turn them into opportunities. Don’t moan and complain, look at what there is to be grateful for and i’ll bet there are a million things you could find gratitude for…..
