Claim your life. Tell your story.

Most people will say they want to change their current circumstances, in relationships or in business or just generally and yet, despite the fact that they are clearly suffering and saying they are ready to change - they still will not do what it takes.

People won't change - until the pain of staying stuck where they are outweighs the pain of doing the work that change requires.

They might fear change.

They might even fear success.

They definitely fear the unknown.

They would rather cling on to certainty of the life they know rather than face uncertainty. There is comfort in the familiar, even if that familiarity is dismal.

You see, our brains are wired for survival. It is a basic instinct. And sometimes we see uncertainty as dangerous. It is just a survival mechanism.

Sometimes though, this can stop us moving forward, it can prevent us achieving our potential. It can stop us taking a chance on something better.

Remember the brain has not evolved much from the days when our ancestors faced life threatening dangers on a daily basis.

Modern life no longer typically holds the same threats. There isn't a lion around the next corner - usually. But our brain still sounds the alarm causing fear and resistance to change and growth.

This is not your fault.
But creating change is your responsibility.
Changing takes consistent effort.
But this is where we grow.

I am excited to announce that I have achieved my Hypnotherapy Certification.

It was a great 3 days full of relaxation, much laughter, trance states and yes, some challenging concepts.

Looking forward to introducing my clients to the power of Hypnotherapy.

Eighteen months ago, I decided to quit playing it safe and go all out to build a business as an online transformational coach and therapist.

I had returned to live in the UK just five short years before this, after four decades in Zimbabwe, and I was no stranger to change, turmoil, or stepping out of my comfort zone. So, while working a 9-5 job, enrolling in a marketing program, and completing other important training—all while living with and managing chronic pain— I took a leap of faith and trusted that the wings that had always held me up would carry me once again.

I’ve invested everything I have into building a brand and putting myself out there, learning all I could about social media marketing. Burning the candle at both ends, I juggled all my other responsibilities and stressors. I pushed through every physical, emotional, and mindset obstacle imaginable because living a life of scarcity in a dead-end 9-5 job on the eternal hamster wheel was never an option for me. Making the decision not to settle but to strike out on the path of entrepreneurship is a decision I would not change for anything.

Have there been moments I wanted to give up? Oh yes. But failure has never been an option for me. The resilience and grit I developed throughout my life—facing adversity, fighting, and slaying my own dragons—have helped me create a bulletproof success mindset. That is worth all the sweat, tears, and pain.

My journey has not been linear, and nor is yours. Like everyone else, my mindset sways at times because it will never be perfect, and that’s okay. I still have a way to go, and that’s okay too. There will always be twists and turns. But my vision for the future is in sight now, and I know I will get there. You can too.

If you are an entrepreneur with ADHD looking to create a bulletproof mindset, I hope this post inspires you and instils within you the belief that anything is possible. Because most things are.
