How To Avoid Damaging Your Relationships

If you didn't know already, I used to do a lot of drugs.  This was back when I didn't know who I wanted to be.  And I was hanging out with all these rebellious people.  Eventually, I grew away from that.  But for a time I tried to forget that that part of myself never existed.  I was ashamed of who I was so I tried to suppress this dark part of myself.  And it was like sweeping dirt underneath the rug of a house pretending that the dirt was not there.  But no matter how much you pretend, that dirt underneath the rug will just grow and fester until it FORCES you to acknowledge its existence.  The same is true with any parts of yourself that you've suppressed.  If there's one thing I want you to remember from this email, let it be this one lesson…  Emotions you suppress will express itself in dangerous ways.  They express themselves in one of two ways...  1. Your emotions are like a ticking time bomb.  If for example, you've suppressed your anger for a while because you're ashamed of feeling angry…  Then there will come a time when your anger explodes in front of someone.  The worst part is you’ll never know when it will explode…  And you won’t be able to control it until it has come out of you.  But this means you may run the risk of letting out your anger on someone that you didn’t mean to.  Then the relationship gets damaged (even ruined) because of it.  And all you feel afterwards is the deep pit of regret.  2. It's easy for other people to trigger you  Today, I don't mind sharing my story of how I used to do drugs or how I used to hang out with rebellious people.  Why?  Because I stopped running away from those dark parts of myself.  I accepted them for what they were.  I took ownership over them.  But if someone had walked up on stage and exposed my past of doing drugs…  Back when I was still running away in shame from that part of myself…  Can you guess what would’ve happened?  I would've gotten very angry at the person.  Which means I would’ve given power away to that person.   And my whole day would've been ruined.  But if that person would walk up on stage today and make fun of my drug-fuelled past...  I'd just stand there and say, "alright. Whatever".  I've already accepted this part of myself and I've already shared it with the world.  So instead of getting angry at anyone who exposes or makes fun of this part of my life…  I use my past as a tool to help transform the lives of my audience.  Anyone out there with struggling drug addictions or hanging out with the wrong people…  Will immediately relate to my story.  And my story would help them break those addictions or improve their relationships.  So why should I care if someone shared my past with others?  This is how you attain INNER FREEDOM!  The more you accept the parts of yourself that you are ashamed of…  The more power you have for yourself.  And if you're an aspiring or experienced coach…  You can use your past as a tool to help others who are struggling with the same thing that you struggled with.  Your past will help you to stand out in an "over saturated market".  Because no other coach out there has your unique story.  Only YOU can showcase your unique story.  So to recap, emotions that you suppress will spread themselves in dangerous ways.  But if you accept it, own it and even tell stories about it in front of others…  If you use it as a tool that you can use to help those who are struggling with the same issue as you…  You'll stand out as a leader and as a coach in your niche.  All you need to do is take that first step to accepting and then showcasing that part of yourself that you’ve been suppressing.  This is the inner freedom that the multi-million dollar online coaches of the world enjoy.  And it allows them to create serious transformations for their clients.   I'm going to be holding a free online masterclass called the Imposter Syndrome Masterclass.  Not only am I going to show you how to break through your imposter syndrome…  But I'll also show you how to ATTAIN inner freedom.  I'll show you how to UN-SUPPRESS those parts of yourself that you've suppressed.  So to serve you as best as I can…  [Feel free to reply to me, what are some parts of yourself that you don't like right now?Â](  Can't wait to see your replies.  Talk soon.
