"You're not ready," it says. "You'll just embarrass yourself." Have you ever let that voice keep you from pursuing a goal or trying something new? Well, it's time to silence that inner critic once and for all. In this insightful episode, I examine the self-sabotaging mindsets that prevent us from demanding more from ourselves. Drawing from my experiences training aspiring hypnotherapists, I reveal the common fears and hesitations when students start practicing their skills. It's a pattern many of us can relate to—that overwhelming desire to have everything perfectly figured out before we even begin. But as I state, "You're not here to know. You're here to learn." Just like a child learning to walk and talk, embracing a beginner's mindset is crucial for growth. You can break through the barriers holding you back by tuning into your self-talk and reframing limiting beliefs. Here's what you'll gain: * Strategies for identifying the gap between your intentions and actions * Techniques for changing the disempowering questions in your mind * Tips for cultivating self-compassion through supportive inner dialogue * Insights on overcoming the fear of imperfection to accelerate learning Because life is a journey - not a destination, it's about allowing yourself to be a lifelong student, open to stumbling and making mistakes. As Igor asks, "What would you do differently if you knew you could not fail?” So, get curious about that area of your life or business that needs growth. What's one small step you can take today to start demanding more from yourself? The path to demanding more from yourself begins with hitting play.

This client had it all—a successful career and a good life. But he had been stuck overthinking about starting his own business for five long years. What was holding him back? Our minds can betray us, working hard to anticipate potential pitfalls to protect us from harm. For this client, an underlying anxiety about being judged or failing kept his mind spinning in unproductive loops. Both internal pressures to achieve perfection and external information overload fed the overthinking. The result? Withdrawn, distracted, and missing out on meaningful connections. The excellent news is that overthinking can be paused through simple techniques for tuning into the physical sensations and emotions accompanying thought patterns. By cultivating self-awareness, you can discover how your mind tries to protect you while working against you. From this place of peace, not anxiety, courage arises to move forward mindfully. Here's what you'll gain from listening further: - Awareness of the root causes, both internal and external, that drive overthinking - Actionable techniques to pause overthinking when it strikes - An understanding of how the mind attempts to protect you but ends up paralyzing you - Advice for moving forward with courage after pausing the overthinking - Strategies to apply the advice to your tendencies to overthink As Igor reminds us, "You are not at the effect of overthinking. You've paused it. And from the pause comes inner peace and clarity." Tune in to hear the whole conversation and learn how to stop self-sabotaging so you can take courageous steps toward your goals.
