Welcome to that visualization.
This one is about I stand by my decisions.
It's about your conviction,
Ownership,
Commitment,
And leadership.
The recommended use is after making a difficult decision,
When facing pushback or criticism,
Or any time there is a bit of self-doubt coming or starts to reopen about that decision,
The purpose is about to build the muscle of owning your own decisions fully without collapsing.
So,
I'm gonna invite you to stay seated.
You can close your eyes.
Take a conscious breath.
Feel both feet flat on the floor.
Feel the ground underneath you.
It's solid,
Real,
Stable.
And now feel the same solidity in your body.
Moving up.
Moving up into your spine,
Your chest,
Your jaw.
Here you can take one breath and feel the power of that stability.
This is not about relaxing.
It's about to commit.
It's about to go straight forward,
To continue that movement.
So now think about the decision you made recently.
The one you questioned since making it,
Or the one that someone is challenging,
Or the one that made you uncomfortable because not everybody is agreeing with you.
Just feel it.
Feel it and notice what happened next.
Did you ever explain it to yourself or to other people?
Do you try to make it softer?
Do you lie about it?
Do you add many qualifiers on it?
Because that eventually,
It means you're not supporting your decision.
It means you're putting it down.
You don't give your full energy,
Your full commitment.
You avoid discomfort.
You quietly walk back on it,
Because you're losing trust.
You're the one who decided.
Nobody can judge that.
This is human.
And this is also a pattern.
And today we're going to break this pattern.
We're going to name the real enemy.
Here is what's actually happening.
When you start to abandon your own decision,
It is not humility.
It is not open-mindedness.
It is not a collaboration.
It's just fear.
Fear of being wrong in public.
Fear of being judged.
Fear of standing alone.
Fear that if you hold your ground,
People will think you're arrogant,
Difficult,
Inflexible.
And so you start to bend,
To please them.
But here is what nobody tells you.
Every time you bend on a decision that your guts knew was right,
You're sending also a message to your nervous system that you cannot be trusted.
And the leadership built on that foundation is not a leadership.
It's just a performance.
It's a show.
It's not real.
So today we're rebuilding the foundation.
We're changing that program.
Take a breath here.
And I want you to see the leader in you.
I want you to have a hero who is for you in your life,
A leader,
A true leader.
Could be someone real,
Someone you admire,
Someone from the past,
Someone who made a hard call,
And held it.
Not because they were certain or arrogant or wanted domination.
Not because everyone agreed.
But because they looked at everything available to them and they decided.
They decided to follow that purpose,
To follow their guts,
All in.
And when the room pushed back,
They didn't flinch.
They didn't get aggressive.
They didn't get defensive.
They simply stayed and continued.
Like a pillar in the concrete.
You can push it.
You can argue with it.
It does not move.
So now I want you to step into that person.
I want you to feel what it's like to have made that decision.
And to be done with it.
There's not close feedbacks.
You're not arrogant.
It's not done with any doubt.
So I want you to feel the freedom of that,
Of owning your decision.
I want you to feel the energy coming back to you.
When you stop reopening the decision.
When you stop doubting that decision.
Feel that energy grow.
Because that energy is for you to keep.
So now you embody the power of making those decisions.
I want you to bring back the decision that brings you here.
The one you question.
And this time I want you to own it completely.
Not 80% like you've done before.
Not with conditions.
Not with something to fall back into.
But commit fully.
And say it to yourself.
I made this decision with the information I had.
I made it as the leader as I am right now.
And I stand behind it.
Feel what shifts in your body when you do that.
The tension of the half committed position is exhausting.
But the full solidity of ownership.
That gives you energy.
That is what conviction feels like.
This is what people follow.
Not the leader who is always right.
But the leader who is always committed.
Now repeat after me without any hesitations.
I make decisions and I stand behind them.
I do not need the room to agree for me to hold my ground.
I can hear feedback.
But without losing my position.
Changing my mind is a choice.
But it's not a collapse.
I am not available to be argued out of what I know is right and true.
I own my decision.
I own the outcomes.
I own the lessons.
I own all of it.
Because I stand by my decisions.
And take a breath on this.
And feel the energy in your body.
I want you to understand something here.
Standing by your decision is not stubbornness.
It's respect.
Respect for yourself.
Respect for the people who need you to lead them.
Respect for the process you went through to decide.
The most trusted leaders are not the ones who are always right.
They are the ones who stand.
They are the ones who absorb the pressure.
Who hold the lines.
And they are the ones who can say I decided and I own the decision.
Even when it's hard.
Especially when it's hard.
So take this breath as this leader.
And lock this in.
And I will ask you very gently to connect back to your feet,
To the floor,
To your body.
And at your own pace.
To reopen slowly your eyes.
