Doing exciting things outside your comfort zone. Living your best life and enjoying entrepreneurship and work. Get rid of your inner saboteurs that hinder the growth of your business and yourself. Our guest today, Mariska van Dijk, specializes in NLP, Neuro Linguistic Programming. We're going to talk about how, as an entrepreneur or entrepreneurial professional, you break through fixed patterns that get in the way of the growth of your business. Elements of this method can be seen all around you.
Mariska van Dijk believes that anything is possible. This is a conviction she has carried with her entire life. This made her quickly make a career in a large company that is at the top of their industry. Mariska developed into a manager and was allowed to experience the coolest and most difficult developments.
Fearmonger
Get the most out of yourself and do that every day. If you can't and are aware of your inner saboteurs, dare to do something about it. This is indeed easier said than done.
"The example of 'just go do it, get over it and once you've done it a few times it will get better,' is said a lot. Yet I have a lot of people in practice who try that, but then still have to cross that threshold every time. That is a shame, because it costs so much energy. NLP is about unconscious processes, about your carrying, about fixed patterns that come from somewhere without you being aware of it. That causes you to experience that threshold every time," says Mariska.
Sabotage behavior
But what is sabotaging behavior? According to the NLP coach, sabotaging behavior is unconscious processes that prevent you from achieving your goal. Behavior that stems from beliefs and habits, which is why you don't just step out of them.
But because they are unconscious processes, you are therefore unaware of your inner saboteur. So how do you know that there is an inner saboteur playing in you?
