Getting off track

Your brain 🧠 will try to trick you out of your purpose.

In the pursuit of purpose, discomfort is part of the process.

It’s new.

It’s different.

It’s stretching you beyond your comfort zone.

One of my clients recently noticed how sneaky her brain can be.

As she started stepping more into her purpose, her brain whispered:

“If you become more successful… if you achieve more…what if you start liking your husband less because he’s not at your level?”

It felt so true to her.

So her brain convinced her to stop taking action and just… think about it.

For days.

But when we slowed it down in coaching, she realized — it was just a thought.

Not a fact.

Her husband had never asked her to shrink.

He’s actually been supportive and proud of her growth all along.

It was her own brain offering fear-based thoughts to keep her from feeling the discomfort of doing something new.

And once she saw that clearly, everything shifted.

She could choose to feel however she wanted about her husband.

And if the roles were reversed, she’d never want his affection to depend on her achievements either.

More isn’t always better for everyone.

If he’s content with his own goals and how he’s striving for them, that doesn’t mean she (or anyone) should shrink theirs to match.

You wouldn’t want someone telling you to “be less ambitious,” right?

Once we unwound all those thought errors her brain was offering — just to avoid discomfort — she saw it clearly.

And within days (with a little WhatsApp support and her next coaching session 😉), she was back on track, taking bold action toward her goals.

This is what the work looks like.

Untangling the thoughts that hold you back — and choosing your purpose on purpose.
