Summary
A classic happening: things start going really well.... then suddenly take a turn. You start seeing progress...then it stalls out. This is just the subconscious doing what it does best: KEEPING! US! SAFE! But we're not stuck at this level - it's just a matter of rewiring. I KNOW this episode will lead to major AHA! breakthroughs.
In this episode, we're diving deep into the boomerang effect (when progress snaps back) and its close cousin, The Plateau. I'll share exactly why this happens, the sneaky ways your subconscious creates delays "for your own safety," and how to lovingly rewire those patterns so your wins stick.
We cover:
✨ The 3 main ways your subconscious sabotages an uplevel
✨ The metaphor of "altitude sickness" as the upleveling gets realllll
✨ The golden question that reveals your subconscious's real motive for slowing you down
✨ My own personal stories of perfectly-timed disasters that were actually protective mechanisms...as I see now of course LOL
✨ How to stabilize your growth so the next win stays, compounds, and feels safe to your system
BONUS DREAMAWAY SESH: Boomerang Stabilizer | Thursday, August 14th at 7:00pm ET
When we start upleveling and hitting our strides, there's usually a littttlee sneaky voice in the back of our heads that starts to bring up some doubts. Or, we achieve a massive win and then feel like we lose it, hit a wall, or have another crisis arrive. This is VERY Upper Limit Problem coded. I like to think about it like a rubber band: when we are stretching into the up level, it feels like it becomes harder and harder to maintain the stretch beyond our comfort zones, so we 'snap' back into place or boomerang. NO MORE! This sesh will be our 'stabilizer', ensuring our nervous systems feel super safe as we stay consistent, succeed, and skyrocket.
