So in this excerpt from my 45 live series that I'm going to share, we're going to be talking about the strength to change your mind. It takes a lot of energy to be able to make up your mind, but it also takes even more energy to change your mind. So let's dive into this topic of the strength to change your mind. Hello. Hello, my Facebook fans and everyone watching or listening in to this extensive Victoria Whitfield, your journey partner in business, you can find me at natural intuition dot com. And this is number 11 of forty five, live hashtag. Forty five, live shout out to Wando, to her, to Renie at AECO files and catch for challenging me to go live for forty five days and share whatever wisdom and insights come through. So this is, it's been interesting trying to fit in the time, being able to get in there and set aside time to go live. And I have like an endless amount of stuff to talk about. So that's like that's not the problem is actually just finding the time to keep coming on live. And today in particular, I wanted to share about finding the courage to change your mind.

Now, for me personally, I know in the work that I do in anything that I do, actually, I'm someone who really values integrity. When I say I'm going to do something, I'm going to do something. In fact, if someone asks me to do something, most of the time I will start to do the thing that I've been asked to do as the person is asking me, like I'd rather at least get something started of what's been asked of me at the moment, of asking, then waiting for something else to to pop up like I or some later time to be able to do a thing. Even if I would just put something on the calendar at the moment of asking if I can't actually execute on the thing. And that for me is for one, because I'm an energy worker and I love getting energy moving. And so for me, integrity is really important. And I like energy to be flowing. I don't like being on my plate. I just have plenty already. And so if you're anything like me, you like to see things move and move faster or move as soon as possible.

Yes. Yes. And so with that. For me, I've had many experiences where I will agree to something that is above my capacity because, you know, I'm open to accepting challenges or I always want to strive for more, et cetera, or maybe I just have issues with boundaries, all of the above. Right. The correct answer is all of the above. If this was a multiple choice question. So anyway, what that ends up looking like is that I have had multiple experiences of running myself into the ground, trying to keep a promise that I made or trying to make good on something that I agreed to, even if it's not in my best interests or even more so even if it actually could harm me because I said I, I would do it. Even if it's not good for me, I will stick to what I said because my word is extremely important. My word is my bond. My word is something that I feel is my value. I've had that experience many times of running myself into the ground or really painting myself into a corner or digging my own digging my own digital and kind of a situation because I didn't really. See, the whole picture, you know, maybe things changed over the course of the situation and. This has happened many, many times over the life of my business over the last 11 years. This has happened many times and I've been burned many times by people who have been stolen from. I've been given tons of promises that people didn't make good on.

And so there's this thing that is a pattern in me that wants to make sure I'm not the one that's going to do that to somebody else, that I'm reliable. Like I want if I want to feel safe being inside Victoria by being reliable and not being an unreliable person, because I have experienced that professionally as well as personally before. And those scars, they are still smart. And so this kind of came up today and yesterday in conversations today with a private client, as well as yesterday with a colleague of mine where they're in situations with. Well, yesterday, my colleague was in the situation with one of his team members that the team member contracted to do all this stuff and just isn't showing up at the level that they sold him on. Right. And this can happen quite a bit. I've had this happen to me as well, where I'll contract with someone and I believe in them. I have my superpower and my kryptonite is that when people make me a promise, I tend to believe them. Like I take that at face value, mainly because I don't I don't make promises lightly. Like if I give guarantees or assurances, it's because I am totally confident and totally committed to ensuring that whatever I just said is going to happen.

Let's talk about it!
