WBR Academy & Life Coaching

Hi guys! Just a little update I haven't fallen off the face of the earth 🤣 I have a new podcast episode coming out next week and I can't wait to get back into recording...its been a busy few weeks starting at University but I'm raring to go again! Love to you all xx

We have a language called "self talk" its the conversations we have with ourselves everyday! Reality is a projection of the mind, we filter through our beliefs, values and any trauma that we have eperienced and the reality we feel is the resultof that!

But what if I told you that you can change your reality by changing your self talk. your subconscious beliefs and mindset. Our beliefs are just stories that we tell ourselves and sometimes they arnt even our stories to tell. they could be something that we witnessed someone else go through.

Pay attention to the things you tell yourself, question why you have these beliefs and whether they are servving you...

We have a language called "self talk" its the conversations we have with ourselves everyday! Reality is a projection of the mind, we filter through our beliefs, values and any trauma that we have eperienced and the reality we feel is the resultof that!

But what if I told you that you can change your reality by changing your self talk. your subconscious beliefs and mindset. Our beliefs are just stories that we tell ourselves and sometimes they arnt even our stories to tell. they could be something that we witnessed someone else go through.

Pay attention to the things you tell yourself, question why you have these beliefs and whether they are servving you...

Werm were all brought up differently but the one thing we can be sure of is that we have inherited some beliefs of our parents grandparents and those before them...

Hiw many times were you told as a child "you have to work hard to put a roof over your family's head" or you might have had a parent that was anti the opposite s*x. Whether we like it or not these beliefs can be deep rooted and can actually stop our personal growth and influence the decisions we make every day...

Letting go of these beliefs and creating more positive belief systems can help the generations after you also! Passing down more freeing beliefs to your children can help them lead full and prosperous lives! We think we are protecting them by passing on warnings.

Here are just a few beliefs you might have heard as a child...what others did you hear?

All to often we look for external validation from others, from outside sources...you have all the validation you need within yourself! Be strong...Be YOU

Your mindset is steered by your subconscious! 95% of what you see in your life is dictated by the subconscious mind, which contains things like trauma, belief systems, values and experiences.

Your literally giving the steering wheel to the part of your brain that you dont control, your inner wounded child! Only 5% of your reality is created by coonscious actions.

So why would you not want to delve into that 95% and find out what is really dictating your lifestyle? Well, there is a way to access your subconscious and address these things that are steeing your decision making, which could mean the difference between happiness and just making do.

Heres how you do it! Using techniques such as meditation, journaling and mindfulness you can start to pay attention to your belief systems and where they have come from! It is possible to change our beliefs if we challenge them and look for evidence to validate them...

By doing this on a regular basis (just like excercise) you will start to see improvements in things like, your confidence, self esteem, anxiety symptoms, ease symptoms of depression and you will start to see your life flourish!

So start today! Head over to Spotify to download my FREE podcast to find out how to do it!

Throwback to my consumerism chat! Loved this...its so try let me know if you relate!

Journaling is a great tool for any personal development! When you write you are creating a link between the pen and your psyche. Allowing you to feel emotion towards the words that you write, meaning the process has a bigger impact!

Here are 5 tips for journalling:

1. Just write...let it flow, anything thhat comes up. This is called stream of consciousness journalling, forget about grammer and punctuation and just concentrate on the thoughs that come up. It can help you make hard decisions, sort through the busy nature of everyday life, that can overflow into your subconscious mind.

2. Journal in a morning, studies show that doing this is more beneficial as your mind is not distracted by external factors in your day.

3. Put away your phone! Try not to have any distractions around you, this way you can ensure that what is coming through onto the paper are your deepest thoughts and not passing thoughts of day to day interactions.

4. Do it everyday! Make a habit out of journaling every day, whether that is making a gratitude list every morning or a list of goals and dreams, its important to be consistent,

5. Use journaliing prompts, such as " What am I worried about", "What are my beliefs around (blank)" , "What are my goals and ambitions". By using journal prompts you can help to draw out useful information about your thought processes. It can also help you get really clear on goal setting.

If you would like anymore information on how to use journalling as a personal development tool then please drop me a DM 😊

Your reality is the result of you filtering your perception through past trauma, belief systems, your upbringing and life experiences.

While you cant change the past you can identify unhelpful behaviours that are attached to these things, that are creating an undesireable reality.

Such as, avoidance of uncomfortable situations, limiting your life experiences through fear or uncertainty. In order to change your reality, it begins with awareness. Your belief systems dictate your attitude towards life, others and your future. By becoming aware of your attitude towards every aspect of your reality you can start to investigate where these beliefs are coming from.

Excercises such as journaling can help to draw out circumstances, particular events in your life that triggered the way that you perceive certain aspects of life. Once you identify these you can start to work on releasing resentment, unhelpful meanings that were placed on such events and clear any limiting beliefs r behaviours going forward.

When you do this, you will find your reality start to shift, you will be more open to experiencing things you were previously scared of. You will develop compassion towards others, and become more grateful for the smaller things in life!

Our EGO is the part of our subconscious mind that likes to keep us safe, so everything ticks along just fine. Unfortunately this results in us becoming stuck in a life that we are unhappy with, leaving us unfullfilled and wanting more! But feeling as though we cannot acheive this, thoughts such as "Im not good enough" or "I cant do that" or "what if..."are coming from your EGO.

These come from a place of fear. The EGO uses past trauma to judge whether or not the decisions we make will keep us emotionally, physically and mentally safe. Unfortunately the EGO cannot rationalise reward or consequence. It only sees the fear, using your inner child as a way to emotionally manipulate you into not trying new things, or taking opportunities. We must nurture our EGO, have compassion when it plays up and be grateful for the job it continues to do to keep us safe. However let your higher self take care of the big decisions in your life.

Your higher self on the other hand knows your deepest desires, your true purpose and knows what is best for you. Your higher self can see the rewards for taking risks, never giving up and always showing up as your true self.

Listen to that because that is what is going to make the big changes in you, your mindset and your life!

Gaslighting is a type of behaviour that be soul destroying for the victim. It involves a combination of belittling and manipulative behaviour in order to emotionally and psychologically abuse someone.

Gaslighting behaviour can be extemely subtle and can leave the victim feeling drained, inadeuate and even question their own thoughts and feelings. The gaslighter very much focuses of creating confusion and doubt in the victims self identity, leadaing to cognitive dissonance, which is a state of psychological distress in which an individual continuously has their beliefs, feelings, actions and thoughts questioned. Creating internal conflict and emotional turmoil.

Gaslighting is very hard to recognise due to the nature in which the behaviour is carried out. Often remarks can be made in "joking" manner or as "banter". The difference between the two very much depend on how the behaviour affects the other person, the intensity and frequency of the behaviour. Anyone can be subjected to gaslighting, in any relationship, whether romantic, proffessional or domestic.

There are some phrases that can be recognised as gaslighting behaviour. Here are just a few...

🎙New Episode! I just couldn't wait!!

Here it is! Episode 14: Chronic Pain & Autoimmune Disease: What they mean when they say " It's all in your head!"

As a Auto Immune Patient myself for 13 years, I know all about the trials and tribulations of diagnosis. We have all heard it at some point in our lives, we go to the doctors and we are told that all tests have come back “normal”, nothing more to investigate, try take it easy, and maybe try anti anxiety meds. You walk out with a sick note for “stress or acute mental health problem”

It can be really disheartening to hear that its something in your head. Something Psychological, but I want you to be reassured that this is a diagnosis in itself! The phrase “Its all in your head” only means your symptoms are caused by or made worse by psychological malfunction in some capacity

This episode explores the link between chronic pain and symptoms of Auto Immune Disease

Have you ever felt an overpowering urge to just stop...feeling guilty when your ill. Like you should be doing something but you physically don't have the energy?

This is your EGO talking. I've been ill recently. I've had a nasty infection that knocked me sideways, I'm transitioning from one medication 💊 to another and suffering pain, illness, fatigue and discomfort from that.

I've just beaten myself up for 3 days because I felt like a failure. Like I should be working, I can't ask for help because that makes me weak...then I remembered this was my EGO talking.

The Universe is conspiring with my Higher Self, it has a plan, it knows why this is happening. Maybe I need to rest, maybe I'm burnt out. It's the Universes way of putting me to bed like a child who's overtired. My EGO was screaming, but if you don't record your podcast will fail. If you don't post on social media your business will fail over night. None of which is true! This is an energy of fear.

Remember you can't see the bigger picture, you don't know why your going through what your going through. Just trust that there is a plan. 🖤

Remember don't beat yourself up...you are going through a human process.

Love Rachel
