15: Dealing with an Unsupportive Spouse

He told me the words I wanted to hear. He told me to go after my dreams but I didn't feel his support for such a long time. In fact, I could see right through his words. His support didn't feel authentic until... it finally did. And until then, I struggled like never before. So, how did I make it through? There are nine specific steps that I took in my journey that I'd love to share with you.

I stopped sharing my fears and doubts with my husband.  I realized they were only feeding his own fears and doubts. I needed to project confidence! I wanted so badly to share those things with him, but I couldn't in that season. Not if I wanted to actually create the success that I had in mind.I hired a coach. I hired someone else to speak with and go to when I needed help dealing with all of the things that were coming up in my business. Someone who knew how to work through the  fears, doubts, and challenges. I could work through everything with her, without worrying my husband.I had to stop telling him what I was going to do and start showing him!  You have to "make more moves and less announcements" and that is exactly what did. I had to make it happen instead of telling him what I was going to make happen.I recognized that his comments were a reflection of his own mindset.  When they got to me before it was because there was a part of me that had the same mindset! Those same fears and doubts were in me, but once I took care of my own mindset, I was able to realize that he was just dealing with his mindset hurdles.It was a choice to allow his negativity to impact me.  The negativity certainly did not go away but I let it stop impacting me. I chose to ignore it and not to focus on it.I shifted my focus from him to my goals.  I went all in working towards my goals. No matter what he said and how hurtful the comments were, I just kept going.Celebrate the wins!  I shared every good thing that was happening in my business, so that he could start to see that things really were happening.I shared more once he opened the conversation.  Once he noticed how I had changed, he started to ask questions. Then, and only then did I share more about all of the mindset work that I had done. In those moments, he started to understand more just how much things were really shifting and what was really possible!I proved him wrong.  Now to be clear, proving him wrong was not my motivation. I just focused on my goal and did what I needed to do. Eventually It happen and I actually did what I said I was going to do, and all of his doubts disappear because it had happened!

I know that you can reach your goals. Don't lose hope! You've got this!
