Your mind is holding you back. ⛓️

Those "I can't" thoughts? They're not facts. They're just patterns.

Here's how to rewrite them:

1. The Pattern Interrupt
When a limiting thought appears, physically change your state.
• Stand up
• Clap your hands
• Change your breathing
This breaks the automatic response.

2. The Reframe Flip
Take "I'm not good enough" and ask:
• What evidence says otherwise?
• Who would disagree?
• What's a more helpful belief?

Your beliefs shape your reality. Choose better ones.

What's one belief you're ready to change? 👇

Myth #1: NLP is mind control🤯
Truth: NLP helps you understand and improve communication, not control minds.

Myth #2: NLP is only for therapists.
Truth: NLP techniques are for anyone wanting personal or professional growth.

Myth #3: NLP is a quick fix.
Truth: It’s a skill set—you get better with practice and patience.

Curious about what’s true for you? Let’s talk! What’s the biggest NLP myth you’ve heard?

𝗔𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝘀 𝗮 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆
I used to think always working was a virtue.

If you were busy, you were serious.
If you were tired, you were committed.

There was always more to do.
Another email.
Another idea.
Another “quick thing” that somehow ate the afternoon.

And here’s the strange part:
the harder I worked, the less sharp I felt.

Not lazy.
Not unmotivated.
Just… fuzzy.

Like my brain was technically switched on, but no one was really home.

Working constantly feels productive because it looks productive.
You’re active.
You’re busy.
You’re doing things.

But research tells a very different story.

Studies on attention and performance show that the brain isn’t designed for sustained focus without rest.

After around 𝟲𝟬–𝟵𝟬 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀, cognitive performance drops significantly.
Decision-making gets worse.
Creativity declines.
Mistakes increase.

You don’t notice it happening — you just start doing 𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳-𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 with higher effort.
Which is the worst deal imaginable.

Neuroscience has shown that when you stop actively focusing, the brain switches into what’s called the 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗮𝘂𝗹𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸.
This is the system responsible for:
Insight
Pattern recognition
Creativity
Making sense of complex information
In other words:

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸.

It’s why ideas appear in the shower.
On walks.
While making tea.
In moments that look suspiciously unproductive.

Even studies on elite performers — athletes, musicians, chess grandmasters — show the same pattern:

They don’t train more hours.
They train 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 built in.

Hustle culture got this backwards

Somewhere along the way, we decided rest was a reward.
Something you earn after exhaustion.

But rest isn’t a reward.
It’s part of the process.

Research from productivity studies consistently shows that people who take regular breaks:

Maintain higher focus
Make better decisions
Recover faster
Produce better work in less time

Working non-stop doesn’t make you dedicated.
It makes you depleted.

The uncomfortable truth

If you never stop, you never let your thinking catch up with your effort.
And that’s how people end up:
Busy but stuck
Active but unfocused
Working harder while achieving less
Not because they lack discipline —
but because they’ve removed the very thing that makes thinking effective.

If you want to work well, you have to stop working occasionally.
Not forever.
Not irresponsibly.
Just deliberately.

Take the walk.
Step away from the screen.
Let the brain do the quiet work it can’t do while you’re forcing it.
Because always working doesn’t make you productive.

It just makes you tired…
and tired brains don’t do great work.

That need to get every word perfect?

It's actually holding you back from real connection.

Here's what's happening psychologically:

• Your brain gets stuck in editing mode
• You filter out authentic reactions
• You miss the natural flow of conversation

Try this instead:

1. Speak before you think (yes, really)
2. Allow 3 seconds of silence without filling it
3. Practice "good enough" responses

Your imperfect thoughts are often your most valuable ones.

What's one area where you struggle with perfectionism in communication?

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗽 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗪𝗶𝗻
There’s a moment no one really warns you about.

You finally finish the big thing.
The exam.
The qualification.
The launch.

The project you’ve been living with for months.

And instead of feeling energised…
you feel oddly flat.

I remember it clearly from studying.
I was so busy keeping up that I genuinely couldn’t understand how people had time to watch television.
TV felt like a luxury item.

Something other people did.

Then the exams finished.
I said to myself, very confidently:
“I’ll just take a short break.”

A sensible break.
A well-earned break.
A completely harmless break.

And suddenly… I 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯.

One episode became three.
Three became a habit.

And the momentum I swore I’d “definitely keep going with” quietly slipped out the side door without saying goodbye.

What surprised me wasn’t the tiredness.
It was the 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

The post-goal wobble
This happens after any big goal.
You’ve been running on structure.
Deadlines.
Purpose.
A clear “next thing”.

Then the goal disappears…
and so does the scaffolding.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲.
𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿.

Your energy hasn’t gone.
It just doesn’t know where to go next.

So it defaults to comfort.
Ease.
Sofas with opinions.
Why restarting feels harder here

After a big goal, restarting feels strangely heavy because:
• You’ve already “done the hard thing”
• There’s no immediate pressure anymore
• Your identity has temporarily gone quiet
• The next goal feels vague compared to the last one

You’re between structures.

And between structures is where momentum quietly dissolves.
How to get going again (without forcing it)

The mistake is thinking you need a 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹 straight away.
You don’t.

You need a 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

Something that says to your brain:
“We’re still the kind of person who moves.”
Not a plan.
Not a five-year vision.
Just a gentle re-entry.

Examples that actually work:

• Keeping one tiny routine from the old structure
• Deciding the 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 thing, not the 𝘣𝘪𝘨 thing
• Putting time back in the diary before motivation returns
• Treating the lull as a transition, not a problem

Momentum doesn’t restart with intensity.
It restarts with familiarity.

That lull after a big goal isn’t a sign you should stop.
It’s a sign you need to 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿.

Because once the TV schedule becomes your new timetable,
getting back into motion feels much harder than it needs to be.
So if you’ve just finished something big and feel a bit… flat?
That’s normal.

Just don’t confuse 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵 with 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘵.
One leads back into motion.
The other quietly steals it.

Not all work is created equal.

Deep Work:
• High focus, high value
• Creates lasting impact
• Requires uninterrupted time
• Builds real skills

Shallow Work:
• Low focus, low value
• Easy to replicate
• Often reactive
• Maintains status quo

Where are you spending most of your time?

She was drowning in shame, feeling like her past defined her. Erickson stepped in—not with judgment, but with a new lens. Through powerful reframing, she saw her story not as a sentence, but as a source of strength.

That shift? It changed everything.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗘𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗧𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝗦𝗼 𝗧𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗜𝘀 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆

There’s a strange moment that happens when you’re finishing a task.
Your brain goes,
“Right. Done. Out. Leave me alone. Goodbye forever.”

And in that exact moment — the moment when you’re desperate to escape —
tomorrow quietly sets a trap.

Because however you finish today…
is exactly how tomorrow begins.

If you end in chaos, tomorrow starts with confusion.
If you end at a dead stop, tomorrow starts with resistance.
If you end at a hard edge, tomorrow begins with a climb.

The trick — and it is a trick — is learning to 𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽.

Not after the final push.
Not at the moment you collapse dramatically on the sofa with biscuits.
But just before.

𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁 𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗿𝗲-𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀.

Stopping at a hard edge makes tomorrow feel like punishment.

Think of it like closing a door gently instead of slamming it shut.
Same door.
Very different energy when you open it again.

Here’s how I soften the edges so tomorrow feels welcoming instead of daunting:

𝟭. 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂

Write one line:
“Next step → Record the intro,”
or
“Talk about the example with the kettle.”
Future You loves breadcrumbs.

𝟮. 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗺𝗶𝗱-𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄

It feels weird.
It feels wrong.
It’s also genius.

Writers do it because the unfinished thought pulls you straight back in.

𝟯. 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁

Open the file.
Lay out the dumbbells.
Put the book on the pillow.
Convenience beats motivation every time.

𝟰. 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 ‘𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁’

You don’t need to finish the task.
You just need to end in a place that feels alive, not abandoned.

𝟱. 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆… 𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲

If you end before you’re empty, you’ll want to return.
If you end after you’re drained, tomorrow becomes an argument.

The funny thing is, once you start doing this, work stops feeling like a series of big peaks and valleys — and starts feeling more like a rhythm.

A rhythm you can return to.
A rhythm you don’t dread.
A rhythm that carries you instead of fights you.

So the next time you’re about to slam the door shut at the end of a task?

Close it gently.
Tomorrow will swing open with much less effort.

Watch how a simple question can change everything. 🔍

Client: "I always mess things up."
Coach: "Always? Every single time?"

That moment of pause... that's where growth begins.

The Meta Model helps us cut through vague language and get to what's really happening.

Instead of accepting "always" or "never," we ask for specifics.

What if you could spot these patterns in your own thinking?

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗴

There’s something funny about stopping a project.

It doesn’t matter whether you stop for a day, a week, or “just a moment” that turns into a fortnight…

The second you try to restart, it feels like someone has moved all the buttons.

It’s not like returning to a paused film.
It’s like returning to a book someone rewrote while you weren’t looking.

And here’s the strange part:

Continuing something you’ve already started is often pretty easy.
You’re mid-flow, mid-thought, mid-sentence.
You just pick up the thread.

But restarting?
Restarting feels like paying a 𝘁𝗮𝘅.

A restart tax.

Every time you stop, the tax goes up:

You have to remember what you were doing
Rebuild the idea in your mind
Find the tools again
Recreate the mood you were in
Decode your own notes (“Why did I write 𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘳 here?”)

It’s not the work that’s hard.
It’s the 𝘳𝘦-𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺.

That’s why keeping going feels easy,
and restarting feels like climbing into cold water.

But here’s the good news:

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝘅.
𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼, 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀.

Here’s how I do it:

𝟭. 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗮 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗯

End every session by writing one line about what comes next.
Future-you will thank you.

𝟮. 𝗡𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁

Writers do this a lot: stop mid-sentence.
The brain hates unfinished loops — you’ll slip back in naturally.

𝟯. 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲

Book on the table.
Guitar out of its case.
Document pinned to the desktop.
If it’s visible, it’s accessible.

𝟰. 𝗦𝗵𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁

Instead of restarting the whole project, restart the 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁.
Open the file.
Read the last paragraph.
Strum one chord.
Zero pressure.

𝟱. 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝗽

Nothing stalls a restart like guilt.
Guilt adds three extra layers of tax.
Drop it, and you’re already halfway back in.

Restarting only feels hard because we expect it to feel easy.

We forget that stopping resets the internal machinery, and starting again requires a gentle push — not a heroic leap.

So the next time you find yourself avoiding something you paused?

You don’t need motivation.
You don’t need readiness.
You don’t even need clarity.

You just need to make the restart cheaper.

Morning alarm rings ⏰

First thought: "I’ve got this today."

Stuck in traffic? Reminder: "This gives me a moment to reset."

At work: "Challenges? I’m learning and growing."

Before bed: "I’m proud of today’s wins, big or small."

Your internal words shape your day. What’s your go-to reframe? 🤔

Stuck in a loop of "I can't"? Meet Maya: overwhelmed by a tough decision, she flipped her script. Instead of "this is impossible," she saw "what can I try differently?" That small shift sparked her breakthrough. Remember: sometimes, a fresh angle is all it takes to rewrite your story. What's one limiting thought you could reframe today? 🤔✨
