Magic 8 Ball: Stop looking for evidence of what you don’t want

<p>You know that uneasy feeling you get when you <em>know</em> you’re doing something that’s not good for you … but you keep doing it anyway?</p> <p>Maybe you’re staying in a job or a relationship that isn’t really working, or you keep making excuses for why you don’t have time to go to the gym. Whatever’s causing you to be out-of-alignment, it gives you that awful, knot-in-your-stomach, uncomfortable-in-your-own-skin, shifty kind of feeling.</p> <p><strong>I’ve been feeling that way a bit lately.</strong></p> <p>As a coach who’s trained to intuitively pick up on these inconsistencies in other people, it’s particularly uncomfortable to get this feeling myself. I realized I haven’t been the best at walking my own talk in one major way the past few months, so I’m outing myself in the name of getting back on track.</p> <p>I’m forever telling my clients to pay less attention to what they <em>don’t</em> want, and to focus more on what they <em>do</em> want. In other words, stop complaining about what’s <em>not</em> working and start noticing and appreciating what <em>is</em> working.</p> <p><strong>Why? Because what you pay attention to has a huge impact on what you experience. </strong></p> <p>When I follow my own advice about this, my life starts to feel different — better, easier, lighter, more fun — almost immediately. In this week’s throwback episode from 2018 (which feels more relevant than ever this year!), I’m sharing how this small shift in attention is changing things in a big way for me and my clients.</p> <p>After you’ve listened, <a href= "https://clarityonfire.com/evidence-of-what-you-dont-want" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">leave a comment</a> to let us know how this resonates with you!</p> <p><br /> IF YOU LIKED THIS, YOU’LL ALSO LOVE…</p> <p><a href="https://clarityonfire.com/joy-go-to-waste" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Blog: How much joy are you letting go to waste?
