I talked about this A LOT when I was teaching the Figure Your Life Out Masterclass this week Not only is messiness completely OK and not only is it to be expected - but it's what creates excitement and growth in our lives. It's what we actually want! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you're in a perfectionist mindset, it's easy to believe that your life will be better when every dream and desire is flawlessly executed without any surprises, any opposition or any setbacks. But when you think about it - life would be pretty unsatisfying if it happened that way ‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Perfectionists want everything to be perfect, on time and effortless so that they can feel validated. So they can feel good enough. So they don't have to experience shame, rejection, abandonment or any other painful emotion... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But if life worked this way, it would be vanilla AT BEST. There would be NO room for growth, NO room for true satisfaction and NO room for fulfilment. And I *know* you're not following me because you want a vanilla life (nothing against vanillahaha). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For those of you who were in my Figure Your Life Out Masterclass this week, I want you to decide - right now - that you're going to stop telling yourself a disempowering story about messiness. That you're going to stop treating it as something that's not meant to be there. That you're going to stop resenting and lamenting it ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ask yourself - what if the messiness you're experiencing right now is MEANT to be there? What if the messiness is setting you up for something AMAZING to come? What if the messiness is here to make you GROW? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Comment below if you needed this reminder to embrace the messiness! For those of you in my masterclass, make sure you watch Lesson 3 ASAP For those of you who are just hearing about it, you can sign up via the link in my bio I appreciate each and every one of you who's been involved in the masterclass this week (even if you've been lurking hehe) xx

Think about this for a minute It's crazy, right?! Half the time, by trying to avoid failure and disappointment we're actually CREATING it in the present For sure this was inspired by the queen herself J.K. Rowling when she said "It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by default". ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And I know from A LOT of experience that it's one thing to *know* that failure is important/necessary/inevitable etc and it's another to actually put yourself out there enough that it might happen. My advice is that if you feel scared and you're full of self-doubt, you're on the right track At least that's been my approach!

Daily reminder:

Give yourself permission Something I talked about this morning in Lesson 2 of my Figure Your Life Out Masterclass is the fact that SO MANY OF US stop ourselves from dreaming because it's painful to want something we don't believe we can get ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Consider for a moment that dreaming about what you want isn't meant to feel good. I know that when people say "have a dream" it sounds absolutely lovely, but I want to remind you that having a dream is going to bring up A LOT of discomfort and that's ok! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It feels shit to hold two contradictory beliefs at once In psychology, the term they use for this is cognitive dissonance. And it means that if you're not yet in a place where you believe something is possible for you, it's going to feel horrible to think about it (because it'll bring up all the reasons you don't think it's possible) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Most of us respond to this discomfort by stopping ourselves from dreaming BUT it means we're not going to get anything new in our lives either. To get something different, we have to do believe something different and believing something different is uncomfortable. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the second lesson in the FYLO Masterclass I shared a really practical way you can make it less painful to dream but I really just want to remind you that even though dreaming sounds nice, it doesn't always feel that way AND that that doesn't mean anything's gone wrong. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our tendency is to dream and judge at the same time and I literally watch my coaching clients do it all the time. I ask them what they want, I can tell by their face there's something there, they immediately squash the idea and tell me they "don't know". All in the space of 3 seconds ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just know that it's uncomfortable to dream and that's ok.

I KNOW what it's like to want everything figured out from the get go That used to be me! I wanted EVERYTHING perfectly planned (colour-coded if possible!) and all my ducks in a row before I ever started anything. Which, unsurprisingly, meant that there were A LOT of things I never started I was too busy planning and trying to figure out what to do! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now, I make myself start almost everything before I have the whole plan (or even half of it) I do it this way because I finally realised that waiting to have the perfect plan was self-sabotage 101. By never getting started it meant I never had the opportunity to fail. I just got to dream about my potential without ever having to put it to the test. And it felt great - I got to feel smart and no one could ever prove me wrong! BUT it meant I never had the opportunity to actually succeed either, which definitely sucked ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I spoke about this idea in Lesson 1 of my free Figure Your Life Out Masterclass this morning ‍♀️ So many of us hide behind confusion and tell ourselves we "don't know what to do" because that feels better than telling ourselves we DO know what we want to do and we're scared. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Is there something you've been feeling confused about lately? Maybe it's what career path to pursue, maybe it's how to eat healthy, maybe it's how to start a blog, maybe it's how to grow your business, maybe it's getting out of debt, maybe it's planning your time, maybe it's making new friends ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have a think - are you actually confused or are you just scared? And honestly, you're probably going to convince yourself you're *actually* confused and you *actually* don't know what to do. But just know that it's VERY likely you're not. It just feels better to not know that to feel scared ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let me know in the comments if you can relate! I used to be so stuck here! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you want to join my free masterclass, sign up now via the link in my bio or at samlaurabrown.com/masterclass

To anyone who's losing hope, please remember that you will succeed in life maybe not immediately, but definitely # #thewirdz
