EPISODE #472. The Mindless Habit That’s Keeping You from Achieving Your True Desires: Deflection
AMIRA ALVAREZ | SEPTEMBER 03, 2024
Powered by RedCircle
Ambitious women are doers, but, all too often, they fall short on doing the things they truly want deep down inside.
Just sit for a moment and ask yourself… when did you last feel like you had to get everything else done before you could pursue something you truly desire?
I did this dance a lot, finding rational excuses why I shouldn’t pursue something I knew I deeply wanted.
In my case, it was an exquisite relationship, but my core wound of believing I was unlovable kept getting in the way. I was deflecting my desire, convincing myself that other things — like my business or daily tasks — had to come first.
So, on today's episode of The Unstoppable Woman Podcast, I’m exploring this very real struggle for women and how we can break free from it.
The truth is, deflection can be a powerful force, keeping us from pursuing our deepest desires, especially when we don’t even realize we’re doing it. But the good news is that we can change this narrative.
In this episode, I’ll share:
- How to recognize when you're deflecting your true desires
- The steps I took to stop deflecting and start living into my vision of an exquisite life
- Why self-compassion and honesty are critical in this journey
- How to hold leverage over yourself to prioritize your desires
- And much more.
Join this insightful conversation to learn how you can start living the life you truly want — without deflection.
And if you’re ready to take things a step further and wish to fast-track your exquisite life, schedule a private conversation with me below.
