Following on from the theme of yesterdayโ€™s post where I talked about procrastination, stagnation or stuck-ness being a result of looking at the whole picture and using the analogy of the apple tree, letโ€™s see where this takes us next...

๐‘ถ๐™ฃ๐’† ๐’ƒ๐™ž๐’•๐™š - ๐™ฎ๐’†๐™จ, ๐’ƒ๐™ช๐’• ๐’˜๐™๐’Š๐™˜๐’‰ ๐’—๐™–๐’“๐™ž๐’†๐™ฉ๐’š?

What I realised this morning, after doing one of my BS Shift Method shifts for myself and my own level of stuck-ness, was that my BS belief was โ€˜what if I take that bite of the apple (in other words do just one thing) and that one thing turns out to be the wrong thingโ€™?

Woah - that opened up a nice juicy can of worms. I just had to get stuck into another BS shift or two.

What transpired was fascinating. As you possibly donโ€™t know what my BS Shift method entails, Iโ€™ll give you a quick rundown of the SHIFT:

The BS Shift looks at shifting the old, outdated story that youโ€™ve been telling yourself and living out in your life, digs underneath to find the real reason thatโ€™s keeping you stuck. ๐’๐‡๐ˆ๐…๐“ is an acronym for:

๐—ฆ๐—ง๐—˜๐—ฃ ๐—ข๐—ก๐—˜: ๐’

๐ŸŸขWhatโ€™s the ๐’๐“๐Ž๐‘๐˜ youโ€™ve been telling yourself

๐—ฆ๐—ง๐—˜๐—ฃ ๐—ง๐—ช๐—ข: ๐‡

๐ŸŸกWhatโ€™s ๐‡๐ˆ๐ƒ๐ƒ๐„๐ underneath that story (the real reason youโ€™re stuck)

๐—ฆ๐—ง๐—˜๐—ฃ ๐—ง๐—›๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—˜: ๐ˆ

๐ŸŸ Letโ€™s ๐ˆ๐๐“๐„๐‘๐‘๐”๐๐“ that pattern

๐—ฆ๐—ง๐—˜๐—ฃ ๐—™๐—ข๐—จ๐—ฅ: ๐…

๐Ÿ”ตDiscover the real ๐…๐€๐‚๐“๐’ in the stuck-ness

๐—ฆ๐—ง๐—˜๐—ฃ ๐—™๐—œ๐—ฉ๐—˜: ๐“

๐Ÿ”ดStep into ๐“๐‘๐”๐“๐‡ of who you really are

The BS Shift helps individuals identify and overcome the real reasons that keep them stuck by interrupting old patterns and discovering the truth of who they are. BS โ€˜Shiftโ€™ stands for story, hidden, interrupt, facts, and truth.

What I uncovered was, initiaully I thought I was fearful of getting off track, so if I focused on just one thing, the others would get lost. BUT and this is a HUGE BUT - there was more beneath the story. So, digging a little deeper I realised that what I was REALLY fearful of was โ€˜if I choose just one bite (or one task), then what if that was the wrong task - what if I get it wrong.

๐Ÿฆ„OMG, I was so ready to interrupt that pattern!

So, I did a BS Shift on that, amazing what fell out of it. My TRUTH (or the character trait of the person I choose to be) for this lie that Iโ€™d been telling myself and am now ready to step into isโ€ฆ

โ€˜I Am Self Belief + I Am Consistencyโ€™. Woop woop.

What BS stories are hidden beneath your stuckness, your โ€˜Iโ€™m not good enoughโ€™ stories?

Simple, I choose a tree I've granted onto which means the branches have different varieties of apples, same tree, with multiple options! So if I bite into one variety (granny smith) and I decide that's not working for me, I can bite into another (cox orange). By all means look at the big picture, then chunk it down to size, that way you'll START and each task seems so much more manageable.
