Ep. 338 | You're Doing It Backwards

How often have you told yourself you'll finally feel confident when you lose the weight, believe you're capable when you get the promotion, or feel worthy of love when someone chooses you?

We spend so much of our lives waiting for the results to come first.

Waiting for proof that we're good enough, capable enough, confident enough, or deserving enough before we're willing to believe something different about ourselves.

But what if you've been doing it backwards?

What if the very beliefs you're waiting for your results to prove are the ones influencing the decisions keeping those results out of reach?

In this episode, Shannan is challenging the way we think about change and why the stories we believe about ourselves have so much power over the choices we make every day.

Because if you're still making decisions from an old belief about who you are, it's easy to keep recreating the very results you're trying to change.

And here's where so many of us get it wrong: You don't have to wake up tomorrow completely confident, capable, and convinced that everything is possible.

You don't even have to fully believe the new story yet.

Sometimes change begins with two simple words:

What if?

What if I am capable?

What if I can figure this out?

What if I'm someone who follows through?

What if the things I've believed about myself for years aren't actually true?

Shannan also shares how questioning her own beliefs and beginning to make decisions as the woman she wanted to become transformed far more than her body. It changed her relationship with herself.

This conversation goes beyond weight, relationships, careers, confidence, or reaching your next big goal. It's about recognizing all the places in your life where you've been waiting for something outside of you to change before giving yourself permission to think differently.

This week, you're invited to look at one result you've been wanting and ask yourself:

• What am I waiting to see before I'll believe it's possible for me?

• What am I currently believing about myself that's keeping me from taking the next step?

• What would I do differently today if I believed I was capable of creating that result?

Not next month. Not when life gets easier. Today.

Because becoming her doesn't happen the moment you finally reach the goal.

It happens in the ordinary moments when you question an old belief, consider a new possibility, and make a different decision.

And eventually, those decisions become the evidence you've been waiting for.
