TVC084 Your Ego Is Not Your Amigo
Your Ego Is Not Your Amigo – How to create clear goals, feel cemented in your choices and ask for support when you need it the most. Stepping out of your own way to design a life you love and remove self doubt. 
Welcome back to the Vitality Coach Podcast, the first one for 2018, and lucky enough I’m able to be based from the home office this week before I head out on tour again and about to deliver some great workshops to leaders in the coming weeks. Most importantly as everyone is setting their intent and goals for the year ahead – there is a little useful tool to recognise the road blocks that pop up (often subconsciously), how to step aside from those and fly.
I like to call it heart leadership. Getting out of your head and into your real GPS for decision making. 
Your Ego Is Not Your Amigo
So, how do you get out of your head and into your heart this year to make really centred, focused, calm, effortless success driven decisions.
I just want to give you a couple of my mojo making tips on:

* how you can get out of your own way
* set really good goals this year
* achieve them seamlessly, week on week for masterful months and a remarkable 2018.

 
Step 1: Recognising The Voice Inside your heart is overtaking your heart lead decisions.
How To Divorce The Stories And Get the Facts & Stats.
What is it that determines all these stories and the alter egos in our head?
We don’t give ourselves permission to shine when we are constantly in a dialogue of self doubt.
Why bother, why do this, why do this? You should do that, all these big constraining kind of fears and boundaries that are constantly being presented to you, no matter how old you are or where your own life, everybody has them. You never really completely get rid of those stories, but what you can do is start recognising all the different egos that sit inside you, and just give them a little nod of acknowledgment and realise that you don’t have to be defined by those discussions.
It is the most powerful thing when you can untether your soul as Michael Singer says.  From knowing that your head and your heart are two different entities. When you start to have a heart leadership driven life, when you start to listen to what your true values, your true inner compass, your GPS, that ultimate vitality road map –  things become a lot simpler.
Step 2: Recognise the thought, park it and move on
There’s always going to be challenges, it doesn’t matter where you’re at, whether you’re at university, starting your new business, leading the corporation, just selling yours or looking at legacy right now. Everyone struggles with some element of self doubt at some point, of being awake at times with anxiety, of worrying about uncertainty and not trusting decisions. 
We’re going to have history, we’re going to have family history, we’re going to have history at work. We’re all going to have challenges that we have to overcome. We’re going to have to think about finance, health, friends, family – a whole melting pot of elements to juggle as we grow through life. So that’s a given. What isn’t a given is how you deal with it.
 

It’s absolutely your choice how you deal with the things that come across your path. That’s purely down to your perspective. 
 
When you are faced with a limiting belief or a mental road block that keeps occurring, recognise it, consider where that old belief may come from, park it and move on. 
Step 3: Choose Your Filter
