Your neurons don't care if your focus is conscious, subconscious or nonconscious. They will simply continue to fire in the super highways of your default thinking and doing.
Believe me, it takes grit and work to disrupt the usual ways of thinking and doing to disrupt, unlink, unwire and unsync the habits of being.
Leading yourself well includes a 'notice and name' of your specific super highways of thinking/doing that are not adding to your quality of work and life as you had imagined.
Pause.
Pause daily.
Reflect. Contemplate.
Make the invisible, visible.
Make the subconscious, conscious.
Invite trusted others to help you observe your self-leadership and self-awareness and self-blind spots.
Yes, I understand that life is super busy all the time.
Yes, I understand that some of the world will fall part if you are not available 24/7.
Yes, I understand that people are watching you and you want to role model well.
Yes, I understand that life is complicated and complex.
Yes, I understand that you want to blame other people and other things for how you are right now. (And I understand that there is truth in those words.)
And yes, I understand that you are the only one who can do the deeper work for you and within you - or you will continue thinking/doing what you've always done.
Yes, I understand it's hard work.
And I invite you to this hard work.
It's all way too much fun to have alone. Join the humans who are doing the hard work of unlinking and unsyncing the neural pathways that no longer serve your values and greater meaning in work and life.
Notice. Name. Choose.
Lead yourself well.
