254: The Difference Between What Our MINDS SAY and WHO WE TRULY ARE

Published: July 19, 2018, 8 a.m.

It comes as a shock to many that before I wrote my book (and sometimes during the process) I\u2019d never seen myself as a writer. I had no previous background; I just knew I wanted to write a book. However, any time I had that thought, I quickly inserted a \u201cbut I\u2019m not a writer.\u201d Now that I\u2019ve published my book, I realize that my internal dialogue was clearly trying to steer me wrong.\n \xa0\n So today I want to talk about the difference between the things we say in our mind and what we really are. It\u2019s time to call out those things we want to do, but never do because our minds offer up an alternate story as to why we can\u2019t. Using writing as an example, \u201cI want to write a book, but I\u2019m not a good writer.\u201d Guess what? Neither was I and that\u2019s why you find really good editors, writing coaches and other skilled people to help you through it.\n \xa0\n \u201cRemove the \u2018buts,\u2019 and become the person you know you are.\u201d\n \xa0\n You are not meant to do everything on your own! No one does it on their own. I personally have a team who helps with all my day-to-day tasks (and so many other things). Focus on your strengths and let others help you by using theirs too.\n \xa0\n Furthermore, it\u2019s OK to be a beginner again. Just because you don\u2019t know how to do something, doesn\u2019t mean it wasn\u2019t meant for you. It will be uncomfortable but If something resonates with you, it\u2019s because it is you. And that my friend is what makes you pure magic.\n \xa0\n I hope this message spurs you to go after your passions and step into who you truly are despite the doubts swimming in your head. The world is waiting for you!\n \xa0\n Before I go\u2026I\u2019m so grateful for you all and have one small request. If you feel called, it would mean the world to me if you\u2019ve read my book to leave a review and rating on Amazon. You are the reason my book is reaching so many women around the world and I want to keep this tribe momentum going. Thank you so, so much!\n \xa0\n --\n In This Episode Lori talks about:\n \xa0\n Calling out the stories in your head\n Being a beginner again\n Why you need help to fulfill your true purpose\n \xa0\n Resources:\n \xa0\n Go to ATribeCalledBliss.com to find out the latest on Lori\u2019s book tour and join the world\u2019s biggest tribe book club\n \xa0\n A Tribe Called Bliss by Lori Harder\n Now available at loriharder.com/amazon or ATribeCalledBliss.com\n \xa0\n Join me on the A Tribe Called Bliss Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1571018952966750/\n Check out my website at loriharder.com.
