Often we are the greatest stumbling block to our own success
Many of us have a yearning to achieve more in life. I believe we all desire to learn, grow and in the process, become a better version of ourselves. To reach that next milestone in our personal or professional lives, or continually strive for more. Yet sometimes, we keep missing the mark. Why is it that we fall short, and seemingly, unintentionally sabotage our own success? So we never quite breakthrough to that elusive next level.
When this happens it can be frustrating, deflating and a blow to our self-confidence.
However, we do hold the keys to our success. When we work from the inside out, the results show in our outer world. Changing ourselves can be one of the most challenging things to do and an area that many people neglect, yet it holds the greatest rewards. You see, we all have habits and programs running in our subconscious mind that hold us back from seeing the brilliance within ourselves and from fulfilling our potential. The key, therefore is first, to become aware of these patterns, before we can change them.
On the outside, we might look successful
Discovery, determination and adventures are part of my DNA.
Growing up, I was big into sports, netball, squash, horse riding and competing in equestrian events. After completing University, I embarked on world travels. This allowed me to follow my adventurous spirit, push myself out of my comfort zone and further develop my curiosity about people, culture and countries. I spent six years travelling and working around the globe. My adventures included trekking the Himalayas, visiting Ladakh, the ‘Last Shangrila’, and venturing to the extreme northern areas of Pakistan. I journeyed down the Congo on a local river barge and spent time with the pygmies in Zaire. Travels to Africa included climbing Mt. Kenya, hitch-hiking solo through Tanzania, Malawi and Zambia, and visiting Lake Inle in Myanmar (formerly Burma).
Not surprisingly, I stumbled into the travel industry, and quickly moved into sales, leading teams to achieve and exceed sales targets. As a bonus I furthered my world travels taking groups of agents to fascinating destinations such as Peru, Chile, Botswana, Alaska, Canada, Vietnam and India.
But travelling the globe wasn’t the only way I pushed myself with new challenges. Triathlons became my next focus. With determination and following my new passion I completed my first race, striving for longer and tougher challenges and gradually moving up towards Ironman distance.
Training for and competing at the Australian Ironman Championships and the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii helped me to develop a supreme level of physical fitness and the mental strength to endure and complete these incredible and tough challenges. I know my motto of ‘never, ever, ever quit on yourself,’ came into play in these races.
‘Life will demand our attention if we’re not paying attention’ – Mandy Napier
Yet, it was while training to compete at the Australian Ironman for a second time, determined to return to Hawaii and improve on my prior performance, that my world fell apart. I experienced unexplained muscle spasms when I ran that no doctor or specialist could diagnose. The spasms were so strong they would literally stop me in my tracks. Eventually, I had to quit training almost overnight.
I learned that your physical body can break down when you choose not to pay attention to your internal world.
You need to listen
For several years I had been repressing feelings of dissatisfaction and frustration about my personal life, specifically my unhappy marriage. Instead of facing these feelings, I pushed them down. However, the more I did this, the more they fought back. In those days, I didn’t really understand the expression, ‘What you resist persists.’ Because of this, they manifested physically in my body. However, I realised if I created this, I had the power to change it.
You can change the things you want to change
‘Most people, whether business owners, managers or employees, are often stressed and time poor, yet desire to achieve more. Yet, in reality, never do, because they unintentionally sabotage their success with habitual old thinking patterns and poor behaviours. Yet they have no idea how to change, which is why so many people are feeling dissatisfied and frustrated. Stress and mental health concerns are growing, and people are becoming disengaged or burnt out. Mindset Coaching holds the answers. Results change when you align every molecule of your being towards what you want. When you remove the old redundant programs and beliefs, dig deep into your authentic self, embracing and trusting your innate powers, magic happens.Although this takes commitment, willingness and determination, the benefits of this new way of empowered living are extraordinary and profound.It only requires you to take the next step.’
This experience forced me to ask myself some tough questions. Through the process of self-discovery, I learned that I can control my thoughts, my inner stories and my actions. I discovered the power of our thoughts, our minds, our unresolved emotions, and our mind-body connection. I learnt powerful techniques that gave me insights and ultimately, transformed my life. As I continued to learn and grow, I began to heal myself. I felt stronger, more confident and empowered. So, I became fascinated and fixated with the amazing power of our minds and how it impacts our decisions, behaviours, results and lives. This led me to establish my business, Mindset for Success, and to coach thousands of individuals to achieve more.
‘The magic begins in your mind’ – Mandy Napier
I studied Neurolinguistic programming, human behaviour, energy healing, performance psychology, multiple brain integration (Mbraining) techniques – (Yes, we have three ‘brains’ or intelligences.) Cognitive and behavioural change modalities. And then more specifically, neuroscience and techniques, based on brain research that help re-program our minds and re-wire our brains. I successfully applied what I was learning to myself and experienced transformational results that changed my life for the better. Finally, I knew I was headed down the right path.
My body healed, I met my ideal partner and moved to the coast. I became aware, empowered, and in charge of my destiny. Following my passion I established my business in 2006. Now, I coach people to discover how to harness the power of their minds, find their path in life, develop mental and emotional strength, self-mastery and achieve extraordinary results.
When you retrain your mind and rewire your brain, magic happens.
Bodies heal, relationships flourish, businesses transform, passions are reignited and goals exceeded. You become aware, empowered, focused, strong and confident. New doors and opportunities present and life becomes more meaningful and joyful.
You hold the power within you to do the same. However, I do know it’s hard, or impossible to do this on your own. And this is why finding a Mindset expert, someone who has walked this path before, is the key to your success.
Now the only thing left to do is for you to take action.
Life won’t wait for you. It’s not a dress rehearsal and your time is limited. So what are you waiting for?
