Does your BUT keep you stuck?
Friday, September 25th, 2009 by adminI’m looking to work with more people with big BUTS!
You will often recognize someone with a BUT by listening to what they are saying about themselves. There can be a whole list of excuses & justifications one after the other, or they might simply drop their focus and give up the fight.
Sometimes a big BUT keeps someone firmly planted on the fence. Other times a big BUT may in fact appear in a room before the person ever makes it through the doorway!
People with big BUTS sometimes look around at others and ask themselves ‘why me’. Other’s justify their big BUTS with reasons from the past -they feel this is their lot in life.
What would happen if we took some time to really get to know your BUT…find out what holds it in place, gently explore a new way of looking at it, and offer some possibilities and choices you never knew you had before.
Imagine if you suddenly realized that your BUT had dissolved and was no longer an issue. What would you do then? What opportunities would open up and become available?
Waiting for your BUT to take over is one option, sure….Acknowledging it and learning how to shift it and get it out of your way is the other. And if you now respond with,
I would BUT….
Congratulations - what a great starting example! Acknowledge your BUT in all it’s limiting glory (for now) and get on with shifting and dissolving it for good!
