Screw what other people think by rebecca lockwood

A really common theme I hear people say is that they are worried about changing direction because of what other people may think or say. This could be a change of career, a change of niche in your coaching business or a change of direction somehow.

Here are a few things to consider when you are wanting to change direction and not pay attention to what others are saying and thinking:

Remember that people only ever want to protect us.

When people say things we do not want to hear it is only ever because they love us and want to protect us. People also only ever say things and think things that they believe possible for themselves. If they cannot perceive themselves to be able to do something they probably cannot perceive others to be able to either. It’s never coming from a bad place, it’s only ever coming from a place of love. 

Ask yourself: Are you really bothered about what other people think?

When it comes to your life, who is the one living it? YOU! Do you really think that what other people think or say should determine what you do in life and the results you get? When we live our lives we have to remember who is actually responsible for the results you are getting and who is living your life? You may have some realisations when you realise that it is you that is living your life and not the people who you are worried about. 

OWN IT!

Like REALLY own it! You want to start a coaching business – OWN IT. You have decided that you don’t like doing a certain kind of coaching and you want to focus on other areas – OWN IT. You have decided you want to start making hand make jewelery and maybe monetize it – OWN IT. Whatever it is you are wanting to do, do it for you. Do it because you love doing it, remind yourself that you are passionate about it and remind anyone around you if thy ever ask you – why you are doing it.
