In this episode of the Inspire Create Manifest podcast, Joe Longo dives into a common fear that many people experience—the fear of never achieving their goals. He challenges listeners to reflect on where this fear originates and how it can be an implanted story in our subconscious. Through his coaching strategy, "The Power of Simple," he emphasizes understanding the brain's mechanisms, particularly the reticular activating system, to overcome these fears.
Key Points Discussed:
- Understanding Fear: Joe discusses how fearing not achieving our goals is often a learned behavior or narrative.
- Subconscious Stories: The podcast explores how these fears are stories given to us over time and have become normalized.
- Human Bonding Over Fears: There's a tendency for people to bond over shared fears rather than celebrating achievements.
- Achievement Recognition: Listeners are encouraged to recognize their past successes and give themselves credit for achieved goals.
- Creating Life Intentions: Joe prompts listeners to actively create life intentions instead of passively moving through life without direction.
- Changing Narratives: It’s important to change the internal story from one that says “I can’t” or “I’m afraid,” by utilizing positive affirmations about already having achieved your dreams.
Homework Assignment:
- Reflect on your past achievements—no matter how small they may seem.
- Consider any unacknowledged goals you might have dismissed due to negative beliefs instilled in you.
- Start speaking positively about your reality as if your wishes are already fulfilled because the brain doesn't differentiate between real and make-believe experiences.
- Use affirmations like "I am so thankful my dreams and goals are achieved" instead of dwelling on what you believe you can't do.
Final Thoughts:
Joe encourages embracing the journey with its ups and downs while stepping away from limiting beliefs that dictate we cannot achieve certain things based on preconceived notions or societal divisions such as being born 'on different sides of the tracks.'
