Let’s get real about what’s really blocking the longing you have for:

• more freedom
• more time
• more money
• more wealth

While you SAY you want your ideal version of freedom and all of the above…

…do you DO what is necessary to have it?

Now, I’m not here to make you wrong or contribute to how crappy you already may be making yourself feel.

I’m a truth telling coach. Truth and directness is a way I show you my love and devotion.

I’m not going to “coddle” you.

Your magnificence is not worth anything less!

As I’ve taken quantum leaps in my success, and had the privilege of supporting others to do the same…

One big thing I’ve discovered (to my surprise!) is that many people are not really willing to do what it takes to make it happen!

Here’s the deal…

To create real, lasting and yummy changes in your money, wealth and business, you have to INTERRUPT patterns in your thinking and beliefs that have been running the show.

This requires you to DO things that can feel really uncomfortable.

This is also where “button pushing” or “triggers” come in.

See, when your ego, or default, (the way it’s been- even if you don’t like it- it’s still “safe” because it’s familiar) is threatened, your defenses are ruffled.

When it comes to the transformative work I do, I get many blessed opportunities to bump up against those defenses with clients.

OH YEAH!

NOTE: I consider it a compliment when my client’s buttons get pushed. It means we’re breaking new ground!

When your buttons are pushed, or you are triggered, you feel uneasy because…

Someone or something touched a sensitive place in you that you once felt hurt, and you decided to never again let that happen.

Then you go into an automatic reflex set up to keep you safe.

Make sense?

You also experience this when you are being challenged to leap into a new consciousness or way of being that is unfamiliar to you. Again, the ego and your “default” want to keep you in the security of what has been.

If I tell you some new radical belief and way of being (for instance, that you don’t have to work hard for money) that flies in the face of everything you “know to be true”, you will create “evidence” to the contrary.

“The repetition of patterns, even painful ones, is a form of safety to the sleeping mind because therein it can rest — within the continuation of the known — even when it doesn’t like being there!” ~Guy Finley

Typically, when you feel resistant or defensive, you will come up with a clever way of making the other person wrong or justifying your current position in order to remain where you are. What’s fascinating is that you really are convinced of your “truth”.

What’s at stake here is the opportunity to create a REAL breakthrough and enter into NEW PATTERNS of thought and belief that match what you say you really want.

The KEY is to:

• notice when you’re feeling defensive or triggered
• embrace resistance as a great gift for your growth
• make a conscious choice about how to proceed (i.e. inquiry)

One more thing….

To consciously choose in the midst of being triggered is empowering.

Why?

Because when you choose to engage in a practice of inquiry (such as, what is the lesson in this for me?), you take ownership of reality rather than stay in a reactive mode.

You stand in your power, rather than feel like a victim (to circumstance or another person).

Listen, if you want to create the juicy results in 2012 that you desire, you will need to deliberately navigate the crunchy & messy moments of resistance and defenses.

When held in the right loving, compassionate space, they are the doorway to your greatest freedom.

So, let’s push your buttons!
