Intuition stays within our bodies. However, the choice to listen to it usually remains inside us because of the fear of going outside of our comfort zone. Ignoring our intuition has problems such as remaining in the same place and the feeling of becoming stuck. It is a viable option to stay with what makes us comfortable, but it does not provide the internal need to grow as human beings. Growth is important because it helps us evolve as people both personally and professionally.

We all want to know what it takes for us to beat the odds to set us free from whatever hurts us insides our hearts. However, instead of dealing with the trauma with whatever is bothering us, we push it aside not willing to move past it.

We all should allow ourselves that superpower to step inside of our power to become our most authentic selves.

In the daily grind of life, we work towards what we think will bring us success. Living a corporate life and making nice compensation from that type of work.

We all encounter self-doubt inside of our minds that is difficult to overcome in our lives. That voice creeps into our subconscious and makes for a difficult journey to find our most authentic selves. We can simply stick to the path that feels comfortable without feeling the need to empower ourselves to seek a different one. It helps when others encourage us and when we surround ourselves with people that shine a light on our path. However, sometimes we need that extra push to hear that inner cheerleader saying, “you can do it and deserve to be happy.” Today on the Crushing Chaos Podcast Karishma Naik an Empowerment Coach talks about how she empowers her clients to become their most authentic selves.

Today on the Crushing Chaos Podcast Alison Blackler discusses tools for moving past thinking you are not good enough. While this is probably the most negative thought, she sees is client one of the first tools she says is to be aware that you are thinking these thoughts. She states, “I think it’s that what we try to do become frustrated with ourselves, so we are trying to squash it down, we are trying to be strong, but that’s actually quite tiring.” Ignoring these thoughts causes more trouble because they help cripple your own personal growth because you are not dealing with your emotions. Especially, if you are constantly doing this just to be able to survive. Your focus remains on dealing with avoiding these emotions that you tend to not be able to recognize that yes, you are good enough. She states, “80 percent of changing anything is being aware, what you are thinking, doing, and feeling.” So, if you want to stop thinking you are not good enough start by being aware of why you are thinking it and take the steps to push past that feeling.

Today on the Crushing Chaos Podcast Ola Walczyk shares her own tools on how to crush that self-sabotaging voice. One of the main things that she finds the most difficult for people, but also the most freeing is confronting that inner voice. She states, “I think we all have this little girl voice that is suffering that is afraid of being hurt feeling rejected, failing, we are so conditioned that we are not aware of what happened or what is making us feel or act in a certain way.” This protection layer protects us from getting hurt but it's also this fear that cripples us where we do not deal with our emotions. Giving that little girl compassion that she is heard is important but moving past her is more important. It is all about recognizing she exists and realizing that you do not care. It is about trusting in the universe and realizing that those thoughts do not define you. You can feel what you are supposed to feel. She states, “you have all the answers inside of you and you are enough.” Important words to keep in mind while we all remain on our self-discovery journeys.
