Happiness is an Inside Job
Posted on January 24, 2021 by Karen Bonnett-Natraj, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.
Are you ready for this new job?
Have you ever said, I will be happy when…..? This is a real common statement I am sure we have all made. If that is the case, have you reached your “when”? Chances are not, as this is an element outside of you and what really gets in your way is that inner voice in our head sabotaging your true happiness.
Yes that can be that voice in your head that you subconsciously listen to. You know that voice that tells you , your not good enough.
You know that voice that impacts your well-being, your success and happiness. Yes I mean your total happiness.
This is the voice that keeps you safe and keep playing small. This is the critic that pushes you into action through anger, regret, fear guilt, anxiety, shame, obligation and so on, You know that critic. This is the enemy that is holding you back from your truest potential.
This is the enemy that was your protector when you were ever so young and it served a purpose there to keep you safe. Well as you got older it is still serving its so called purpose to keep you “safe”. Safe from you becoming your best self, you reaching your deepest dreams, you living that full on happy life beyond what you can imagine today, living life to your peak potential.
The inside job is to move beyond the holds of your inner critic. Identify what your inner critic represents: Give it a name, So when you are blaming, feeling guilty, regretting something, Say you ( critics name) is blaming, feeling guilty or regretting.
Here is what i mean,
- I can’t do that, My critic says I can’t do that;
- You embarrassed me , My critic says you embarrassed me
- I don’t have enough me, my critic says I don’t have enough time.
- I will never be happy, my critic says I will never be happy
Happiness is an inside job. It is removing the fears and stresses that hold you back. Replace this with:
- Empathy – for myself and others
- Explore - Be curious
- Innovate – creative ideas
- Navigate – meaning and purpose
- Activate – Clear and focused
Happiness is a whole person wellbeing, as we are a whole-being.
This involves all aspects of who we are, We are spiritual, physical, intellectual, relational and emotional (S.P.I.R.E.). These are the elements that will move you closer or to you true Happiness.
I have an assessment that will identify the elements that hold you back from your truest potential. This Energy Assessment identifies your truest potential and the blocks that hold you back disguised as guilt, revenge, blame, regret and so on.
I also have the tools so you can create your formula for true Happiness. We don’t find happiness out side,
It is one thing that we keep learning and understanding, but true change comes when we partner with someone, become accountable so you stay on your path to change and sustain a new habit, which is key in changing the neuropathways of your brain.
