Shaping Your Journey To Motherhood - Jessica K Coaching

In our society there is a common belief I like to call the “Big Lie”

—the idea that our society and childhood upbringing do not influence who we are today at the deepest level.

Most people don’t deny those things have an impact, but they think the effect is minimal and resist believing that their experiences and other people formed their beliefs.

However, the reality is that by the time we reach adulthood…

All of us have developed a pattern of how we automatically react to life’s challenges.

We have also developed the belief systems and attitudes that have been shaped by those around us.

Each of us have learned different ways of reacting, which is why when faced with challenging situations some people may react by shutting down, others reach with anger, other with anxiety, and others with excitement.

What determines the different reactions is the different ways the individuals view the challenges, based on their conditioning—their learned response.

For example, what if you grew up watching your parents come home and complain about how much they hate their jobs and you find that now you come home and do the same thing.

Would you change it?

Would you look for solutions?

Probably not, because you have been conditioned to think that it normal and probably do not even realise that you are doing it.

Therefore, reflection is key to unmasking these conditioned behaviors and beliefs. By reflecting on how much of what we do and think did not originate as our own idea, and letting go of things that do not serve us, we are freed to embrace a new mental state and a life that is more genuine to who we truly are and how we want to live.

The reason that understanding your conditioning is so powerful is because it’s what created your foundation of understanding of life, emotions and behaviours that follow (your thoughts/actions create your life).

Once we have an awareness and understanding, we can choose to decide what we want and what we don’t want to be part of our story moving forward. You have the power to re-write your story, break free from old narratives and create a life that is truly exciting to wake up to
