🍏The Story - One Way to Eliminate Stuckness and Procrastination 🍎

What if you were to take just one bite of the apple, she said? What if, instead of thinking of the whole apple or the whole tree, you just had one bite, how would that feel? You see, I can easily get overwhelmed by thinking about:

🍎The tree (a metaphor for my business)

🍎All of the apples (a metaphor for each of the strands or task lists that exist for the business) - you know things like:

👉 social media posts

👉 creating a sales page

👉 making a new product

👉 writing your blogs and newsletters

👉 creating automations for your new course

👉 marketing

Or, how about I use the metaphor of the tree, but chunk it down to

🍎just one apple from the tree at a time

🍏Or better yet, just one bite of that one apple

𝗢𝗿… 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗴𝗮𝘀 - one bite at a time:

What if I waited until the apple was fully ripen and fell from the tree and just picked up that one apple one bite into it one bite at a time.

My answer was so freeing - I’d feel the weight of stress drop off. I’d actually get shit done because I’d only be focused on that one thing - one small aspect of the whole.

This post IS that one small aspect. It’s just one piece, one post. Resisting the temptation to then say….. Ah yes and now I can turn that post into a blog, then into a video then…….

No, if I bring it back to just one bite.

Well, procrastination or stagnation invariably happens when we look at the whole tree. I’m not saying we shouldn’t ever look at the whole tree - heck I’m a big picture thinker and a projector. But when I do that, invariably it stops me in my tracks.

I’ve recently been working on my own shadow side (which I help others to do as well). Shadow work is so fascinating, enlightening and life changing but many avoid it. What I’ve found it that’s my biggest asset, being able to shake the tree and look at what falls out. Being able to dig the soil up a little to see what the condition of the soil is like, what I might need to add or take away (metaphorically speaking of course). That’s the gold. If you can bring yourself to do that, then magic does begin to happen.

Avoiding taking one bite or waiting until things were perfect were getting in my way. For a long time I stopped myself because I didn’t have a simple way to explain what it is that I do. I didn’t fit within a label like ‘Life Coach’ or ‘Transformation Coach’ or ‘Personal Growth Coach’. I just didn’t feel I fitted that mould. But I also hadn’t found a way to explain it in a simple, no fuss way.

Then I realised, it hit me that my story was masking the 'avoiding taking one bite of the apple' thing, it was just in disguise. So today I thought, ok what if I just go out there and explain what it is, without putting a label on it. Just type and see what happens. So here goes:

I use my gift of intuitive knowing to get underneath the BS - under the programming that runs things in the foreground, which stops people showing up as their authentic magnificent selves. In a nutshell that’s what I do - I'm a BS Shifter. I shift your BS Stories by facilitating the space and method for you to dig underneath to reveal the truth about what's holding you back.

There it’s out now, unrefined, uncomplicated, unfiltered. And it’s not labelled, just results driven.
