Want to Know Why You're Stuck in a Rut? (And How to Fix It).

Your quiz results are in! Based on your answers, the #1 problem keeping you stuck in a rut and feeling unfulfilled is…

PROCRASTINATION

… your deep-rooted need for everything to be perfect and avoid failure is strangling your growth and holding you back.

It’s ruling your conscious + unconscious mind, through the primary fear. The fear you’re not good enough. This often leads to destructive behaviors such as self sabotage and a feeling of imposter syndrome.

But more importantly, it’s preventing you from creating and living your dream life.

You don't have forever to meet your best self ...

the perfect time to create the life you love is now.

When we start to procrastinate we stop making decisions based on facts and ability and instead make them from unconscious fears, projections and anxieties. The anxiety around something not being perfect, of it possibly going wrong, or even us not living up to the expectations we place on ourselves. These are often so high we can never really live up to them at all. And so we’ll do almost anything else to distract us and hide from those uncomfortable feelings and anxieties of impending failure. It sounds counter intuitive. It is.

The (flawed) logic and unconscious self-talk goes something like this: “If I start this and I fail it will trigger the fear I’m not enough. If I don’t start it then I can’t fail so I avoid that fear. Great! Let’s look for something else to do that I know I can’t fail at.”

In short, procrastination tries to be your defense mechanism but instead destroys your potential.

This also reveals why you will NEVER solve the problem of procrastination with motivation. Motivation cures lack of energy. Not fear.

The excuses you’re making to yourself, and the obstacles you’re putting in your own path, aren’t protecting you, they’re hurting you. Hurting your chance at success and of living your best life.

So how do you wave goodbye to procrastination?

Identifying and releasing your subconscious brakes is the piece of the puzzle that allows you to stop struggling against the current of life and shift your focus towards positioning yourself better in the river.

UNLOCK THE DOOR TO YOUR MIND AND ADMIT YOUR ADDICTION TO PROCRASTINATION

The first step in any type of cure is admitting your addiction in the first place, and that’s exactly what I want you to do here.

BUT what I don’t want you to do is label yourself as a procrastinator. Because the minute we give anything a label or title, we’re telling our unconscious mind that we buy into it and believe in it, ultimately giving it power over us.

Instead, I want you to see it as a behavior because behaviors can be changed. They’re not part of your identity.

And whilst you’re doing this, try to identify which situations allow those procrastination tendencies to rear their head or start to take control.

Maybe it’s anything where your feeling of success attached to the outcome is uncertain?

Perhaps it’s to do with competency and not feeling qualified.

For some it’s even the fear of being successful as that would cause too many things to change and threaten your current sense of certainty. Meaning you consciously set big goals and say you want them, but unconsciously don’t want to stray too far ahead too quickly so resist taking the actions towards them.

Whatever patterns you notice, write them down and be aware of it.

Procrastination is a habit, and like most habits, they serve some part of us. So the key to beating your habit is knowing which part of you it serves and why.

Challenge yourself to think about what it feeds off. Is it feeding off your lack of self-confidence or possibly your insecurities?

Is it allowing you to indulge in your fears in a potent mix of phrases such as “What if I get it wrong?” Or, “It’s all got too much, and I just don’t have what it takes…”

The simple act of identifying the beliefs feeding your procrastination addiction is a big step towards kicking it to the curb and getting rid of it once and for all.

Any of these inner monologues sound familiar?

I am so tired of trying and getting nowhere but feel completely powerless to change things.

I feel like I’m not good enough. Everything is such a struggle and I’m just so frustrated.

Why am I stuck in this rut feeling like there is no way out? I want to make changes but then fear takes over.

I’ve lost my spark and am reaching burnout. I don’t have the energy or motivation to keep this up.

I just feel empty and sad like I’m not truly living my life. All I do is work and hustle, then work and hustle some more.

I can’t put myself out. What if it all goes wrong and I fail completely?

The next time you hold yourself back from doing something through self-doubt, imposter syndrome, procrastination, or perfectionism, I want you to remember this…

As human beings, we're wired to only operate on 5% of our conscious minds. It's staggering I know.

And as creatures of habit, we barely use our conscious minds. It’s our unconscious mind that’s responsible for calling the shots 95% of the time, compelling us to ‘sleepwalk’ through life.

But here’s the the secret that ‘ex-procrastinators’ figured out that most people still don’t know. It’s not that they used the 5% of their conscious mind to overpower or fight the 95% unconscious mind. They simply knew how to use it to TRAIN their unconscious to go to work for them. Just like a human will never overpower an elephant, but an elephant TRAINER can make the elephant behave in a way they want.

To really wave goodbye to procrastination, you need to start using the 5% of your conscious mind to train the 95% of your unconscious mind so that it starts behaving in the way you want.

One of the first steps is to upgrade the ‘job description’ of your conscious 5% from just ‘thinker’ to ‘dietician’. The size and health of your elephant is massively impacted by what it’s fed.

In other words, when it comes to procrastination, the diet you want to be most concerned with in your life is not the food you are eating but the thoughts you’re thinking. Or, to be more specific, allowing yourself to be fed with.

An element that impacts this more than anything else is the mainstream media.

Unfortunately, in a busy and competitive marketplace, the role of the news has shifted from unbiased reporting to capturing attention. Its business model relies on stimulating a part of your brain called the amygdala. This is a crucial part of your subconscious and one that is designed to notice danger, even if you are sleep-walking awake. Think about how you immediately notice brake lights when driving even though you may have zoned out.

Mainstream news is to your mind what refined sugar is to your health. It may feel good in the moment to satisfy a craving but afterwards there’s often a crash i.e. zero feel good factor and long term it can cause way more problems than it’s worth. Feeding your mind a diet of news will train your elephant to constantly look at things negatively and this includes self-talk which often triggers fear of failure (not good enough) and fear of success (Not worthy of).

Now of course, not all media is bad media, but it’s essential to be aware of its negative impact and if you must then consume it mindfully.

Which brings me to the things you should be feeding your mind. We live in an era where we have access to an abundance of quality information such as podcasts, educational videos, and inspirational interviews.

We all have an internal compass needle that drives us in a specific direction. Educating yourself helps us take ownership of that compass needle and start remagnetizing it. Instead of exposing yourself to the media, you can feed your elephant with a diet of inspirational information that can create and lead to rapid and massive change in your life.

“Life happens to me or life happens through me. It starts with a choice.”

The Four Levels of Consciousness

Have you ever wondered why we perceive the world the way we do? Why do some people seem to flow through life and get everything they want effortlessly, while others spend most of their time in hustle mode?

The reason is that there are four levels of consciousness that humans can experience, and each level represents a different way of understanding the world around us. Each level corresponds to a different mindset or worldview that shapes how we perceive ourselves and the world around us.

01:

TO ME

YOU ARE A VICTIM. You perceive reality as something outside of your control, nothing is really your fault as you’re at the mercy of external circumstances that don’t depend on you.

This mindset is limiting and demoralizing, keeping you stuck. It’s stopping you from taking any kind of action to change your reality.

In fact, ‘To Me’ is your alibi, it allows you to justify why your dreams didn’t come true…

….Because everything happens to you right?

You say things such as, “I’d have my own business now but I was never given the opportunities that others had.”

This level of consciousness leaves you afraid to take risks, fearing the unknown, and scared to make big changes.

After all, it’s much easier to stay where you are, with someone or something to blame when things go wrong than it is to take action and do something about it yourself.

02:

BY ME

YOU ARE AN ACHIEVER. You realize that you can have the life you’ve dreamed of. It won’t be easy, but with some grit, determination and hard work, it can and will happen.

You’re the engine powering your own success.

‘By Me’ is about jumping in the river and swimming to where you want to go.

You say things such as, “Nobody helped me so I helped myself. I made opportunities happen and now I have my own business.”

This level of consciousness is characterized by a shift in perspective from victimhood to empowerment. Just by letting go of blame and replacing it with personal responsibility you can quickly progress from ‘To-Me’ to ‘By-Me’.

But there is a downside. Although you’re now in a much better position than at the ‘To Me’ level, being at the ‘By Me’ level is exhausting. Many ‘stressed-out Sam’s’ in By-Me are on their way to becoming ‘heart-attack Harry’ or ‘burnt-out Barry’.

The constant hustle and pressure aren’t the way to live a happy and fulfilled life. You’re forcing your way through life instead of flowing through life. However, there is a different way.

03:

THROUGH ME

YOU ARE IN A FLOW STATE. Things happen to you effortlessly, from doors opening at the right time to people appearing in your life just when you need them.

And it isn’t down to luck or circumstance, but scientific principles you’re consciously applying with certainty.

You say things like, “I am going to change people’s lives by doing X because I know this is my calling in life.”

But ‘Through Me’ isn’t easy to understand, and many people find it hard to maintain, leaving them swimming upstream rather than flowing with the river.

To truly make the shift from ‘By Me’ to ‘Through Me’, give up your need for control and replace it with knowing. You have nothing to control and nothing to defend and a calm inner knowing that you’ll your goals will always happen. Even if you don’t know the ‘how’.

04:

AS ME

YOU ARE AT ONE WITH THE WORLD. This level takes away many of the religious connotations, which causes division among the masses. ‘As Me’ is a sense of oneness and connection, with no separation.

You believe you are part of a whole, connected universe.

You say things like, “I am part of the greater fabric of life, and my mission is to connect with and make the world a better place.”

This high level of consciousness is where most of the spiritual masters arrived at and taught from. It allows us to be in a permanent state of love, compassion, and oneness with all that is. It helps us see the beauty in all things and feel deeply grateful for the world around us.

UNLOCK YOUR POTENTIAL

Understanding the four levels of consciousness can be a transformative experience. Each level offers unique challenges and growth opportunities, from the lowest level of unconsciousness to the highest level of enlightenment.

However, it’s important to remember that life is not a linear journey. We may move back and forth between levels at different times in our lives as we navigate the complexities of our inner and outer world.

“Why will life test you? Because theory doesn’t cover the price of admission to the highest levels of being.”

I’ve been blessed to have directly transformed more than 505,000 students from over 100 countries as well as millions more online through my videos and multiple TED talks.
My books on human behavior and showing people how to be empowered by adversity have reached #1 on bestseller lists, and have been published in multiple languages all over the world.
I'm also proud to say that as well as having the highest Trustpilot score in the industry, my programs have won many international awards and are recognised as 1 of the world's best personal development programs. I was also honored to receive the Brand Laureate Award, joining past honorees such as Nelson Mandela, Steve Jobs, and Cristiano Ronaldo.

My mission is to help raise global consciousness and create lasting transformation so that people like you can be empowered to lead extraordinary lives that are not only successful but also fulfilling and purposeful.
