WHAT MAKES YOU KEEP PRACTICING?
Sure, we may devoutly believe in chiropractic work, coaching, therapy, acupuncture, bodywork, reiki, feng shui, etc... but there is a natural reticence and humility at the early stages of our practice where we're not exactly sure OUR feng shui or reiki work is super valuable.
Can you remember that time? When you LOVED your chosen field but wondered "can I REALLY be a skilled enough healer/helper?" Most of us can identify with that time in our learning. Perhaps you are in it right now.
Now, did that "doubt dog" stop you from continuing your training or practice? Of course not! Why? Because your belief dog was stronger. Which belief dog was that?
It was the belief dog that said, "Even though I have doubts about mySELF, I believe THIS ART is SO POWERFUL that even a foolish, beginner, bumbling, stumbling practitioner like myself can still provide value to a client."
That belief dog was so strong that it came up with more positive beliefs to support it. It fed itself, in a way.
It said things like,
"Even if I "suck" right now, I'm just so excited about this art that I can't help but DO it to anyone who'll let me. So maybe I'll just keep at it. Anyway, I have talented teachers who will guide me in the art. Everyone has to begin somewhere. I remember being new at ___ (fill in the blank) and now, it doesn't even phase me."
...And so on.
Over and over again, that strong (well-fed) belief dog overcame the doubt dog, and we kept at our training. We psyched ourselves into practicing our technical skills, because of our underlying faith and belief in the wellness art itself.
