The Power of Visibility: Break Free from Unconscious Limits
Feb 22, 2024If you’re stopping yourself from being more visible and putting yourself out there more, you’re not alone. Many of the clients that I’ve worked with over the past decade have struggled with this in one way or another.
The good news is that there is most likely a program running deep in your unconscious mind that believes is helping you by keeping you less visible.
I was listening to a podcast last week and they mentioned the fun fact that if you have an ant on a piece of paper and you draw a circle around the ant, the ant will walk around in the circle and not cross the line.
Of course I wanted to dig deeper into this phenomenon to find out why ants don’t cross the line. Turns out it’s because the ants don’t see very well and rely on the sense of smell to sniff out the pheromones they’ve left behind. The pen line actually interrupts the trail they’ve left behind and they believe that they must not go that way.
So, the simple act of stepping over the line to the ant is akin to wandering off a cliff or into a barrier. They will seek alternatives before they step over the line.
This makes sense, right?
Buy why do we as rational, smart, individuals often behave the same way?
You know what I’m talking about. Why do you keep doing the same thing, in the same way over and over again and expect different results?
Why do you stay inside of the circle and not want to cross the line?
What’s stopping you from being more visible by posting on social media? Or going live just like your marketing coach told you is the best way to attract new clients?
What the heck is going to happen to you if you step over the line?
It’s all because of the program that’s running deep in your unconscious mind. You may have heard similar messages to me as I was growing up.
“Little girls must be seen and not heard” was a favourite of my grandfather’s every time he came to visit.
So, I learned to stay quiet so that he would love me. That was running deep in my unconscious mind for years.
I was coaching a client the other day who believed that she would attract unwanted attention from creepy men if she was more visible. When we started to delve into this one, she first started with some stories that happened in her twenties. I guided her to go younger. Then she remembered a time in her late teens. Again, I guided her to go to a time when she was younger. Then she recalled a time when she was 11 years old in school. As we continued to delve and probe, she soon remembered a recurring experience as a very little girl when her father would stroke her hair and make her feel uncomfortable. She also intuitively felt the negative energy coming from her stepmother.
These events created something called a complex equivalence deep in her unconscious mind that her hair was a beacon and when she was seen she would attract unwanted attention from creepy mean and the hateful wrath of women.
So, her unconscious mind did everything it could to stop her from stepping over the line and showing up more visibly.
Showing up and being more visible was tied in her mind as not simply stepping over the line, but as attracting unwanted and hateful attention.
No wonder it was such a challenge to get out there and be visible.
