SHAHEEN PLUNIER BUSINESS COACH MODULE ONE AWAKENING WITHIN Navigating Societal Influences Embracing Midlife and Cultivating Mindfulness

In this module we will explore how society s obsession with youth and beauty affects our perception of aging and how it can negatively impact our self worth and sense of purpose Our culture places an enormous value on youthfulness beauty and physical attractiveness We see it in the media in advertising and even in our everyday conversations Society tells us that we are at our best in our youth and that as we age we become less desirable and less valuable This perspective can be damaging leaving many individuals feeling like they have lost their significance It can lead to feelings of inadequacy social isolation and even depression It can make us doubt ourselves and our abilities causing us to second guess our decisions and our purpose in life But here s the good news our worth and value are not determined by our age or our appearance They come from within from our life experiences our knowledge and our unique perspectives As a society we need to recognize the value of experience and the wisdom that comes with age We need to embrace the full range of human diversity including age and celebrate all stages of life

So what can we do to overcome this societal pressure and embrace the possibilities of midlife First we need to reject the idea that our worth is based on our age We must focus on the things that give our lives purpose and meaning from our passions and hobbies to our careers and relationships Second we need to recognize and celebrate the wisdom we have gained through our life experiences We were not meant to stay stagnant or stop growing as we age Life is an ongoing journey of self discovery and personal growth no matter how old we are This course on Midlife Awakening is designed to help you break free from the chains of societal pressure and embrace the possibilities of midlife Through a series of engaging sessions we will explore strategies for personal growth empowerment and transformation You will gain new perspectives insights and actionable steps to help you achieve your goals and live your most vibrant and fulfilling life So are you ready to embrace the possibilities of midlife Are you ready to break free from the constraints of societal pressure Are you ready to unlock your full potential and achieve personal growth and selfimprovement

BREAKING FREE FROM SOCIETY S LIMITING BELIEFS THEY DON T HAVE TO BE YOURS ANY LONGER www shaheenplunier com

THE ROLE OF SOCIETY IN PROMOTING LIMITING BELIEFS IN MIDLIFE Society has a huge influence on the way we perceive ourselves as women approaching midlife From the media we consume to the cultural norms that surround us we are bombarded with messages that reinforce limiting beliefs about what we can achieve and who we can be We are constantly told that aging is something to be feared that wrinkles and gray hair are signs of decline and that our worth decreases as we get older This narrative is not only limiting but harmful as it undermines the true potential and value of women during midlife The media is especially guilty of perpetuating these harmful messages We are bombarded with images of young flawless models and airbrushed celebrities giving us unrealistic expectations of beauty and success This creates a culture of comparison where we are left feeling like we fall short

THE ROLE OF SOCIETY IN PROMOTING LIMITING BELIEFS IN MIDLIFE But we must remember that these messages are not the truth Age is not a limitation but a source of wisdom experience and growth It s time to reject the harmful narrative and create a new paradigm of empowerment strength and possibilities during midlife So let s be intentional about the media we consume Let s seek out content that empowers and inspires us and surround ourselves with positive people who uplift us Let s reframe our mindset from one of limitations to one of possibilities and limitless potential It s time to take back control of the narrative and rewrite the story of midlife We deserve to thrive and pursue our passions no matter our age Let s embrace the power of midlife and all the opportunities that come with it

Overcoming the Barriers Many of us have dreams and passions we would love to pursue but we often feel ourselves held back by invisible barriers that exist in our own minds These barriers can take many forms such as feeling of unworthiness limited mindset negative self talk and self doubt These subconscious barriers can prevent us from taking actions toward our passion and living the lives we truly deserve In this session we will explore the common subconscious barrier that hold us back and will provide tips and strategies for breaking through them We will learn how to identify the limited beliefs that are holding us back and replace them with positive ones We will also find ways to cultivate a growth mindset and develop a positive self image By the end you ll have the tools and knowledge to start taking actions towards your passions and living the life you deserve Let s start by exploring some of the common subconscious barriers that prevent us from pursuing our passions often we may not even realize that we are holding ourselves back with limiting beliefs negative self talk and doubts and these barriers can be deeply ingrained in our subconscious mind making it difficult to overcome them www shaheenplunier com

Overcoming the Barriers However by identifying and addressing these we can start to breakthrough and pursue our passion with greater confidence and clarity One common barrier is the feeling of unworthiness and imposter syndrome that can stem from past experiences or messages that we have internalized from others That we aren t good enough that we don t deserve to pursue our dreams We also compare ourselves to others and feel like we don t measure up This can lead to self doubt and lack of confidence in our abilities Another common barrier is a limited mindset where we believe that our opportunities and potential is limited We may think we don t have enough time resources or support to pursue our passions or our passions are not practical and realistic This can lead to a sense of hopelessness and resignation where we give up on our dreams before we try Negative self talk is another powerful barrier that can hold us back We may constantly criticize ourselves doubt our abilities and focus on our weaknesses rather than our strengths This can lead to a self fulfilling prophecy where we don t take actions towards our passions because we believe we will fail These barriers can be difficult to overcome but with the right strategies and mindset we can start to breakthrough and pursue our passions with greater confidence and clarity www shaheenplunier com

THE 5 STEPS TO GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY These are several strategies you can use to break through subconscious barriers and limiting beliefs 1 IDENTIFY THE LIMITING BELIEF Take some time to reflect on what beliefs and thought patterns that might prevent you from pursuing your passions Once you identify them you can start to challenge them 2 ASK YOURSELF IF THE LIMITING BELIEF IS REALLY TRUE Is it based on fact or just a negative thought pattern you ve developed over time You can also try and find evidence that contradicts your limiting belief For example if you believe you aren t good enough to pursue your passions you can think of the times that you succeeded in the past 3 REFRAME THE LIMITING IN BELIEF INTO A POSITIVE Instead of thinking I m not good enough reframe it to I have room for growth and improvement This helps you shift your mindset and focus on your potential instead of your limitation www shaheenplunier com
