As you transfer a payment onto your student loan or mortgage, your heart speeds up.

Is it really still THAT much?!?

You feel guilty for even thinking about leaving your corporate job. You’ve spent (borrowed!) so much money to get here.

It was the safe, practical, smart choice.

Right?!?

But you can’t shake the feeling that you’d be happier, fulfilled even, if you could just follow your bliss…

Perhaps you still…

… fantasize about becoming Nigella Lawson’s sous-chef.

…cherish those summers working at art camp with underprivileged kids.

…see yourself at the aquarium, training dolphins or caring for other creatures.

Your daydream stops short.
Shallow breath.
Cold sweat.

What if… I can’t make next month’s payment?

You suddenly dread failing.

And having to crawl back to a ‘job’ (the word gives you the heebee jeebees), tail between your legs, only to start back at the bottom of the latter…

“What if I F-UP, and end up with NOTHING?”

Nine-to-fivers share this not-so-secret horror of “what if”.

So let me put it to you this way.

When you’re telling your kids and grand-babies stories about your good old days, what will you tell them?

That you lived in a HAZE for 20-30-40 years?

That your boss was a TYRANT and you just took it?

That while all your friends were travelling in South America, you were working OVERTIME for a promotion that never came?

That you ALMOST were the next Marie Forleo, Amy Porterfield or Gabrielle Bernstein?

OR…

That you met FASCINATING PEOPLE, travelled to UNUSUAL PLACES, experienced ADVENTURES and made your OWN PATH along the way?

It’s not because you’ve invested time and money into a career that you should keep going once you’ve realized you’re lost and unhappy, and your sanity is at stake.

‘What if’ can go take a hike!

You, baby, got places to go.

What adventure will you take on?

What ‘agreements’ are holding you back that you’re not even aware of?

Everyone talks about mindset and limiting beliefs.

But did you know that even more powerful than that, deeply rooted, you have agreements that dictate how you shape your world?

No word of a lie, we all have them. We’re incarnated souls, therefore we have contracts, including the ones we make while we’re here on Earth.

So what IS an agreement?

It’s an energetic contract that you make, where you enlist a belief to become true for you in your life.

Agreements can be great, especially because they’re so powerful. But they can also be damaging when you’re unaware of them and even, let them lapse…

Agreements can serve you or hinder you.

Here’s an example of an agreement that hinders you.

If you grew up in a very poor household, your parents may have told you that money doesn’t grow on trees (limiting beliefs). Say bullies at school would tease you about being poor, and how your parents’ jobs were silly/worthless. You may then have felt such shame, that you’d believed that your family had done something wrong, and therefore did not deserve abundance and wealth.

Therefore, all your following choices would have kept you playing small, and making enough money to fulfill your needs, but not enough to be wealthy.

You may have believed that people with money were bullies, making you resist money for fear of becoming the bully. Or, you could have taken that precariousness, and decided that you’d never feel it again and centre your life around money, blinding you to any path that didn’t come with a certain amount of dollar signs.

Agreements can be made around strong feelings or traumas, but they can also be rewritten in awareness. Agreements can be inherited from a previous life or be made in this lifetime. Our agreements shape our world, and by how it is shaped, we realize whether they are serving or hindering us.

This really is just scratching the surface of what agreements are and how they can impact our lives. I dig into this further with my clients, but the first step is awareness.

If you could guess where in your life you have an agreement that no longer serves you, what would it be?
