@AndrewWriteCopy Cheers Andrew... I hope it sparks some ideas foe you my man

@SteveTimoney As a wannabe coach that looks helpful to me! Thanks, Stephen.

For many, self-sabotage is about control. When you don’t feel in control of your days, your weeks, or your biz… you take it back elsewhere. Partying. Sex/Drugs. Spending big. That's not real control. It’s an emotional Band-Aid and an inner pattern that needs breaking.

Calming yourself and regulating your nervous system, or Pattern//Breaking is elite. But the deeper work is shifting who you are when you’re calm... raising your baseline so you stop putting yourself into the same stressful situations on repeat.

Clearing out your storage locker is like being a tourist in your own past... Hobbies you’ve abandoned, boxes from equipment you don’t use anymore, and old electronic gear you can’t quite part with. Because maybe, tape decks, amps, and wired speakers will be useful again someday.

One of the lessons I’ve learned chasing goals? There is no waiting Nothing changes when you “arrive” Sure, you might post some results, but if you’re holding your breath, waiting to celebrate, waiting to be someone different because of that goal, you’ll be waiting a long time

99% of entrepreneurs I’ve coached were taking too much action. 99% of wantrepreneurs I’ve spoken to weren’t taking enough. Different problems, same cause: Wrong behaviours, misaligned identity, and a nervous system wrapped in negative patterns that needed breaking.

Life gets easier when you follow what genuinely interests you. You don’t need to force it. No hacks, no willpower games. Just curiosity pulling you forward. Most people with discipline problems are grinding away at things they don’t even want. That’s the real problem.

Do you fixate on the chaos in your life, or do you focus on building the capacity to stay grounded within any negative situation? Those who stay grounded have done the right work on regulating their emotions, thoughts, and actions.

Because it means you’re remembering who you really are and letting your true identity step into to take control. Ego backlash is an SOB, and negative versions of you will fight to stay in your system.

The old you is like a drunken fool who’s been asked to leave a pub... it’ll make a lot of noise, cause a fuss, and try to sabotage you into letting it stay. But anytime you feel that kind of resistance to change and you feel a spike in bad energy, it’s something to celebrate...

Always a fun day when you end up on a yacht

The ultimate form of performance? Being super comfortable in your own skin and believing in yourself.

One of the biggest shifts I ever made in my performance and self-actualization journey was learning to observe the energy behind my actions. Because when the energy is off, even the right actions tend to backfire.

@thriveminds1 Exactly

@SteveTimoney Our imagination is our greatest weapon. It can either work for us or against us

Thinking about changing is often way more painful than actually changing.

@ChrisLDyson It really is a fugger

@SteveTimoney Attachment is a mudder fugger

@AndrewWriteCopy You and me both, my man. I coach myself through it often, but tend to need some external perspectives to get out of my way.

@SteveTimoney Yes, I've found that all too often the worry of doing something is far worse than actually doing it. I'd have hoped I'd learned better by now, but apparently not...

It’s wild to realize that the way you think the world works… only exists in your head. Everyone else has their version, map, logic, and unseen rules. Sure, there are overlaps, and some shared truths. But mostly, everyone is living in their own private framework. Kinda wild.
