Unstoppable Coaching is one-on-one life coaching based on the principles outlined in the book, “Being Unstoppable,” by David Chard, and brought to life experientially in The Unstoppable Workshop.
Are you lost inside limiting beliefs?
“The purpose of the coaching is to take a close look at what you want and the things that stop you from having it. As clarity about ‘what’s stopping you’ emerges, the coaching focuses on the five principal reasons people do not achieve their dreams. The coaching is unique in it’s focus on undoing limiting beliefs.”
No.1The Box: Essentially, this is the ‘box’ that people want to transcend when they say, “I need to go outside the box.” The box is the reactive Robot (hard-wired reaction-patterns) and Filters that shape your Comfort Zone and personal blind spots. Essentially, ‘The Box’ is your mind and your nervous system. Your mind is a beautiful gift, but when self-awareness is blocked, it can stop you and keep you stuck in circular strategies that go nowhere. Every see the film “Groundhog’s Day?” Unstoppable Coaching helps you see the conflicts that prevent you moving forward when one part of you says “Yes!” and another part says “No!”
And when you understand these conflicts and what to do about them, you are on your way.
No. 2 Stories: Human beings live from stories of their own creation. You have a story about who you are, what is possible and not possible for you, what your life means, what the world is like, and “who you are” as a person. With the right story, you can achieve anything. But if your story (outside of awareness) does not serve your dream, it will stop you in your tracks. In Unstoppable Coaching, you will gain deep insights into your story, where it came from, how it is or is not serving you and how to create a powerful story that can make you Unstoppable.
There is a story about a man from England who traveled to India to speak with the sage Ramana Maharshi. The sage asked him, “Why have you come here?” and the man replied “I am here because I want to find out who I really am?” Maharshi then asked the man, “WHO is this “I?”
The man was speechless. Then the sage smiled and said, “If you want to know who you really are, go back the way you came,” The man was stunned because he thought the sage was just telling him to go back to England.
The real meaning of “Go back the way you came,” is to retrace your steps through life and discard everything that is not who you really are….that you currently believe is ‘you.’
You are not your limiting beliefs. You are not your stories. You are not your education. You are not your bank account. You are not your job. You are not your name. You are not your thoughts. You are not your fears. You are not the chatter in your mind. You are not your past. You are not your achievements or failures. You are not your toys. You are not who you think you are. You are not what others think you are.
“In order to live your soul into the world,
you must continuously loosen your beliefs
about who you are.
…loosen your beliefs about
who you are supposed to be.
…loosen your beliefs about
who other people are.
…loosen your beliefs about
how life is supposed to be.
~ Richard Rohr and Alan Seale
Beliefs are made-up rules,often created when we are small children, that bind us in limitation and keep us in a box of our own making. They often occur as thought-stories penned by our Inner Critic. They can seem real and evoke strong emotional / fear responses that keep us going in circles. They have no reality beyond what you give to them.
Beliefs Have Consequences
It takes time, focus, and energy to hang on to beliefs…just as it does to fly a kite. Holding on tightly to the string, focused on one tiny piece of sky and you have to stand in a fixed position, unmoving…stopped.
Beliefs blind us to any evidence that doesn’t agree with the belief.
Beliefs about ourselves, others and life can cause suffering and cut us off from our own self-love and self-compassion.
Beliefs are never ‘true’…they are simply thoughts that we choose to agree with…though most often we have long forgotten making the choice.
Beliefs pretend to keep us ‘safe’ from what we fear but at the same time keep us ‘safe’ from setting ourselves free.
Holding onto a limiting belief, or not, can make the difference between living the life of your dreams…or ending up with despair, sorrow and regrets.
You are invited to ‘loosen up your beliefs’ and if you do…you may find that they simply slip away and are forgotten. Like when you let go of the string of a kite. You no longer have to stand in one place and are once again free to move in the direction of your dreams.
“You don’t get what you deserve.You get what you believe.”
The Unstoppable Workshop™ is 2 days of fun, sharing, learning and transformation. It’s like a safe cocoon in which you can reconsider your world view and choose new ways of being that reflect who you really are. Then, you can emerge with new wings, to enjoy a new life, free of limiting beliefs.

They say, “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” Imagine you have pointed yourself in a certain direction, perhaps a goal, some achievement, a personal dream. And while you are on that trajectory…’stuff happens.’
It isn’t the stuff you wanted, or expected, but it’s the stuff that showed up. You feel it as an obstacle, something getting in your way, stopping you. Pause for a moment and think of a recent example…or even an old one. Got it?
Now ask yourself, “This happened…and what does it ‘mean?” Write down the meaning you created to explain what happened. Ok…so what did you come up with? Here’s an example to consider:
“I was in my car, on my way to an important appointment and feeling a little bit nervous about the outcome. Suddenly I realized that my gas gauge was on “Empty” and then I heard the sound of the engine sputtering…and watched, aghast as the car drifted to a standstill. I had just enough time to pull over to the side of the road. And I realized that I was 20 miles from the nearest gas station. And this ‘means’….
“That I am going to be late to this important meeting.”
“And that means the person I was going to meet is going to be annoyed or possibly angry that I didn’t show up.
“And that means that they aren’t going to want to see me again because they are going to think I don’t care about being on time…or even showing up…because I didn’t even call them…because my cell phone battery was also out of juice.”
“And that means my reputation is going to be crap and my possibilities are going to be limited.”
“And that means I’m going to fail, again, because I was so stupid to let this happen.””
Ok, you think this is a bit far-fetched...but is it? Have you not been in situations like this when ‘stuff’ happened and your mind got busy doing all the long division and deciding a series of “and this means” scenarios…that left you feeling exhausted, frustrated, angry, upset and disappointed in yourself? If not, you may be from another planet and perhaps another species.
Why? Because humans are ‘meaning creating machines.’ We are always busy creating meaning out of life’s experience, figuring out ‘what things mean’ and especially, what it ‘means’ about ourselves. Are we not?
But what if I told you that none of these ‘meanings’ has a trace of reality? That each and every one is simply a ‘story’ that you made up in your mind? And that there are probably an infinite number of ‘meanings’ that could be derived, inferred or implied by one simply event in your life journey….all equally unreal.
The scenario above is an illustration of the ‘reactive mind’ at work. Events occur that we don’t want or expect and the mind reacts by creating an imagined ‘catastrophic’ scenario…that seems quite real at the time. Later, we usually realize we were only ‘making a mountain out of a molehill.”
The next time you are in a situation where you are surprised by ‘life, happening,’ stop and clear your mind, take a deep breath, close your eyes and relax. Notice the thought-stream that wants to unfold…and…let it unfold. Calmly, say to yourself, “None of these thoughts are real and nothing that happened ‘means’ anything.”
Then, assess the facts: you ran out of gas in a remote location and now you can choose your options to address the breakdown. You have zero control over how others are going to interpret the ‘stuff’ that happened, the stories that their minds are going to spin in response to your ‘stuff.’
You options might include: making sure you always have enough gas in your tank, carrying a spare cell phone battery so you can reach out for help if you need it and forgiving yourself for being human. Drop all the ‘meanings’ and free yourself…you are Unstoppable. 🙂
Nothing ‘means’ anything. All the ‘meanings’ are stories, made up by a busy mind that hates a vacuum and, in a desperate attempt to ‘be in control’ fills in the gaps in a given situation. Knowing this, reminding yourself of this when ‘stuff happens’ frees you to create your best options and move forward…Unstoppably. Does it not?
Humans seem to be addicted attaching ‘meaning’ to circumstances, when in fact they are better served by calmly engaging with reality, separating facts from stories, and then taking the next step.
This is one among many understandings and techniques you will learn when you:
Thanks for taking a moment to consider ‘what it all means.’ The fact is, things mean only what you say they mean…or perhaps, just maybe, they ‘mean’ nothing at all.
