Articulate Clear Results
In the pursuit of your goals, it goes beyond merely defining a financial target or a tangible outcome. A clear vision of the results you want is crucial because it delves into the intricacies of the full scope of your aspirations.
By understanding how you want to feel, the thoughts that drive your actions, the beliefs shaping your identity, and the necessary steps for success, you create a roadmap tailored to your authentic desires.
This comprehensive approach ensures that your progress towards your goals is not only efficient but also deeply aligned with the full picture of your true aspirations. Despite its significance, this nuanced exploration is often met with resistance, yet it forms the foundation for achieving the desired outcomes.
In Decipher I help you to examine the more intricate aspects of your desired results like the way you want to feel, thoughts, beliefs, and identity associated with the things you aspire to have and/or create.
And the necessary actions that you get to take and not take in order to achieve your desired results.
Uncover Internal Challenges
Have you ever found yourself passionately pursuing a goal, only to reach it and realize it fell short of your expectations?
Perhaps the achievement didn't evoke the expected emotions, or the journey turned out to be more demanding than anticipated. Maybe, despite your best efforts, it all unraveled, leaving you confused..
This scenario highlights the importance of introspection in uncovering internal challenges. To deepen this process, consider the following three actions:
1. Reflect on Your Past Experiences:
Take a moment to think about previous instances where you achieved a goal but felt a sense of dissatisfaction or unease. What were the underlying factors contributing to this discrepancy between expectation and reality?
Reflecting on past experiences provides valuable insights into recurring patterns and potential areas for improvement.
2. Explore Your Emotional Resonance:
Beyond the tangible aspects of your goals, dive into the emotional responses associated with them. What feelings were you seeking to cultivate through your achievements?
Understanding the emotional resonance of your goals allows you to align your efforts with a more profound sense of purpose, ensuring that the outcomes are not only measurable but also personally meaningful.
3. Evaluate Your Investment:
Assess the level of effort and resources invested in pursuing your goals. Was it in alignment with your values, or did it lead to burnout and exhaustion?
Evaluating your investment helps you recalibrate your approach, ensuring that the journey towards your goals is sustainable and brings fulfillment rather than depletion.
By actively engaging in these reflective practices, you empower yourself to identify potential pitfalls, align your aspirations with your true desires, and create a more resilient and effective path towards your desired outcomes.
In Decipher I help you to quickly flush these things out. Then check the ecology of it. This process alone can save you so much time, energy, and effort. Allowing you to be more productive, efficient, and effective in your day, life, and business.
Navigate the Gap Between Current and Desired Outcomes
Gaining insight into the gap between your current situation and your desired destination is like possessing a well-defined roadmap for your journey.
Here's why differentiating between your current state and desired outcomes is invaluable, along with three examples to guide you:
1. Clarity on Current State:
Take a moment to assess your current situation objectively. Remember this isn’t about judging it or making yourself feel bad. Take a slow deep breath and be gentle with yourself.
What aspects of your life and business are in alignment with your goals, and where are the misalignments?
This clarity allows you to acknowledge your starting point, identify strengths to leverage, and recognize areas that require adjustment.
In Decipher I take you through a simple, yet powerful process during your 2nd Session that helps you to flush this out in these 6 key areas.
Mission/ purpose
Identity
Beliefs
Skills
Behavior
Environment
2. Envision Your Desired Outcomes:
Picture your desired outcomes vividly. What does success look like for you?
By clearly defining and visualizing your goals, you set a powerful intention for the future. This not only motivates you but also serves as a constant reminder of the destination you're working towards.
If, for example, your desired outcome is a balanced and fulfilling personal life, envisioning moments of joy, relaxation, and connection can drive your actions.
In Decipher we use Mental Rehearsal which is an advanced visualization practice to support you to tap into and anchor in your desired states and actions.
3. Importance of Alignment:
Recognize the significance of aligning your actions, thoughts, and beliefs with your aspirations. Misalignments can lead to inefficiencies, stress, and unproductive efforts.
When your internal landscape is in harmony with your goals, you create a conducive environment for success.
When things aren't in alignment, you may find yourself expending energy in conflicting directions, leading to a sense of frustration and burnout.
Why it's Worth the Investment:
Understanding the gap between your current state and desired outcomes is an investment in your future well-being and success. It provides a roadmap for intentional growth, ensures that your efforts are focused and purposeful, and empowers you to make informed decisions aligned with your aspirations.
Decipher is a flexible framework that acts as your guide in navigating these internal landscapes. It facilitates the sorting through of challenges, helping you distinguish between what aligns with your goals and what doesn't.
By investing time and energy in this process, you equip yourself with the tools needed for a more efficient, effective, and aligned process towards your desired outcomes.
Decoding Your Personal Code
One of the things that I find fascinating is how many conflicting ideas we can have about how to achieve a goal. This can hinder our progress, leading to feeling stuck or procrastinating.
Here are two ways to delve deeper into the potential hurdles you might face:
1. Identify your Inner Conflicts:
Many may struggle with recognizing the internal conflicts that hinder progress. In my experience, these conflicts often lurk beneath the surface, manifesting as subtle doubts or contradictory beliefs.
By acknowledging the common challenge of identifying these conflicts, you can gain insight into your own potential blind spots, fostering a proactive approach to decoding your personal code.
2 Practical Practices for Identifying Inner Conflicts:
1. Mindful Journaling:
Set aside dedicated time for reflective journaling. Write freely about your goals, aspirations, and any hesitations that come to mind.
This practice can allow subconscious conflicts to surface, providing a clearer view of potential internal tensions. Regularly reviewing your journal entries helps identify patterns and recurring conflicts, enabling a more proactive approach to decoding your personal code.
2. Seek External Feedback:
Engage in open conversations with trusted friends, mentors, or colleagues about your goals and potential conflicts. External perspectives can shed light on aspects you might overlook.
Actively listen to the feedback and observe whether there are consistent themes or contradictions pointed out by others. This collaborative exploration can enhance your self-awareness and contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of your internal conflicts.
2. Overcome Procrastination and Stagnation:
Procrastination and feeling stuck are prevalent challenges when faced with conflicting ideas. You may find it difficult to initiate action or break free from the grip of conflicting thoughts.
Addressing this challenge directly, involves not just asking questions but developing actionable strategies to overcome procrastination. Understanding why you’re actually procrastinating is important and allows you to know what you need in order to move forward.
Practical Example for Overcoming Procrastination and Stagnation:
Time-Blocking Technique:
Implement the time-blocking technique to break down tasks related to conflicting ideas into smaller, manageable intervals. Allocate focused periods of time to work on specific aspects of your goals.
For instance, if conflicting thoughts surround launching a new project, dedicate a block of time to brainstorm ideas, another to create an outline, and so forth. This method helps alleviate the overwhelming feeling associated with conflicting ideas and encourages steady progress.
Set a timer for 15 - 25 minutes. Take a deep breath. Brain dump it on paper or into a doc. Getting it out of your head allows you to be able to see your thoughts and what makes the most sense based on where you are, what you want, and what you have the capacity for.
In Decipher, my role is to assist you in navigating these challenges by providing you with personalized simple, direct questions you can ask yourself in real time to move forward and insights gained during our sessions.
Understanding your internal states has been a crucial part of the process for me in overcoming resistance and executive functioning issues.
Overcome Conflicting Ideas and Progress Hindrances
I hear and see so many disempowering things on the interwebs about what is and isn’t possible for you if you have certain “labels”. That wasn’t acceptable for me. I wasn’t willing to allow that to be my truth.
I encourage my clients to delve into their thoughts, detaching from judgment, shame, and guilt. By neutralizing unsupportive thoughts and discerning what’s actually aligned for you, you can avoid feeling overwhelmed and explore/ shift the underlying stories connected to these thoughts.
I describe the deciphering process as decoding your personal code composed of emotions, thoughts, and actions.
Empower Transformation Through Aligned Choices
In Decipher I assist you to quickly sort through these elements to identify the root causes of challenges, unaligned patterns, and resistance.
Importantly, I stress that the decision to shift aspects of your life is entirely personal. I maintain a non-judgmental and supportive space, acknowledging that you may not always share every detail of your experiences. Which is absolutely ok. In fact there’s no need in order for you to achieve the results you want. This is the power of low content coaching.
The goal is to empower you to be consciously aware of your current state, explore the transformation you want, and make aligned choices at the pace that makes sense for you.
