Inner Fitness: Bigger, Better, Braver
Week of April 23, 2022
Is there something you’d love to do but haven’t found the courage? Do you want to give yourself over to the fullest possible experience of living?
Bigger, Better, Braver is a five-step journey to find the answers, beginning with listening to the quiet voice inside your head, urging: you want more for your life. Living big is its own reward. The “bigger” is your definition and yours alone, a declaration to the Universe you are worthy and ready to take advantage of the great life you’ve been given.
Each of the five lessons offers you tools and a deeper understanding of who you are and what has stood in your way.
Session 1
Why live Bigger?
We enter this world ready to be anything and everything. Little by little, however, we shut parts of ourselves away, and as adults we continue to listen to the inner critic who no longer serves us. It is the voice that says: “play small to stay safe,” or “we aren’t good enough” or we need to “control everything to stay safe.”
We are meant to play all out and own all our qualities, the good and the bad, so we can be emotionally whole. I will help you uncover the disempowering belief that is keeping you from living the life of your dreams.
Session 2
Incompletions
When you get out of auto pilot and take an honest look at your life, you can discover what’s holding you back, weighing you down, and robbing you of your agility. We call these “incompletions.”
Incompletions are actions we haven’t taken in the past that create a barrier in the present. They are the stuff we’re still carrying with us we’ve not put to rest. Incompletions drain us, and/or we use them to beat ourselves up.
You’ll look at how incompletions show up in your life, externally and internally, and what you can do to turn them in to completions.
Session 3
Unconscious Commitments are the Saboteurs of our Dreams
You can stop wondering why your life doesn’t look like you want it to. The secret is that you get what you are most committed to. In our childhood, you made promises to yourself that are buried in your subconscious. They were formed to keep you safe but as an adult keeps you small. When you aren’t getting what you think you want, you need to uncover the outdated early commitment in your subconscious. In this session, you will uncover your disempowering commitment and replace it with a new empowering one that supports your leap to a bigger, better, braver life.
Session 4
The How and Why of Self-Sabotage
Before you can dig in fully to creating the vision you uncovered, you need to shine a light on self-sabotage and empower yourself to be your best self. You need to understand the pattern of your thoughts and emotions that lead to your behaviors, so you can learn the tools to recognize your personal brand of sabotage and how you can stop it before it escalates. To have rewarding careers if you want, fulfilling relationships, better health, better body, whatever else will bring you happiness and satisfaction; you need to understand the how and why of your sabotage.
Session 5
Setting and Maintaining Healthy Boundaries
Are you a people pleaser and/or over-giver? Do you say “Yes” when you want to say “NO”? We’ll be exploring how setting and maintaining boundaries will support you in creating a life in alignment with what is true for you. You’ll learn to discover and dissolve whatever stands in the way of making yourself a priority. Boundaries support you in carefully choosing and consciously curating the content of your life.
