Have you ever wondered why certain situations trigger you or why some patterns seem impossible to break? The answer might lie in a part of you that you don’t often think about—your inner child. This concept refers to the part of your subconscious that carries the emotions, memories, and experiences from your early years. Far from being just a memory, your inner child can have a significant impact on your adult life, shaping how you see yourself and interact with the world.5 Ways Your Inner Child Might Be Holding You Back 1. Fear of Rejection Remember that time as a kid when you weren’t picked for the team or when a friend didn’t want to play with you? These moments might seem trivial now, but they can leave deep emotional scars. If your inner child felt rejected, you might avoid situations where rejection is possible—like pursuing relationships or taking risks in your career. This fear can hold you back from fully engaging in life and seizing opportunities.2. Self-Doubt and Low Self-Esteem Were you criticized or not supported enough as a child? Those negative messages can turn into a lifetime of self-doubt. Your inner child might carry a narrative of “I’m not good enough,” which manifests in your adult life as perfectionism or an inability to celebrate your achievements. This constant self-doubt can prevent you from going after what you really want, making you feel like you don’t deserve success or happiness.3. Difficulty Trusting Others If your caregivers were inconsistent or betrayed your trust, your inner child might still be guarding against being hurt again. This can show up as difficulty trusting others in your adult life, keeping you from forming close, meaningful relationships. You might keep people at a distance or be overly suspicious, which only reinforces your loneliness and isolation.4. Avoidance of Conflict Did you grow up in a household where conflict was either explosive or avoided? Your inner child might have learned that confrontation is something to fear or evade at all costs. As an adult, this can translate into avoiding difficult conversations or not standing up for yourself. The result? Unresolved problems and resentment, whether in your personal relationships or at work.5. Fear of Failure Were you harshly criticized for your mistakes as a child? This can create a deep fear of failure that lingers into adulthood. You might avoid taking on challenges, procrastinate, or play it safe to avoid the possibility of failing. But this fear can stifle your potential, keeping you from achieving your goals and growing as a person.Breaking Free: One Small Step You Can Take Today If you recognize any of these patterns in yourself, know that you’re not alone—and more importantly, you can start to change them. One small but powerful step is to practice self-compassion. Begin by becoming aware of when these limiting beliefs pop up. Instead of criticizing yourself, try speaking to yourself with kindness, as you would to a friend. For example, if you catch yourself fearing failure, remind yourself, “It’s okay to make mistakes; I’m learning and growing.”Incorporate daily affirmations like “I am worthy of love and success” or “I trust myself and others” to rewire your inner dialogue. With consistent practice, self-compassion can help heal your inner child, allowing you to move past these limitations and live a more authentic and fulfilling life.Understanding how your inner child affects your adult life is a crucial step toward healing and personal growth. By addressing these deeply rooted patterns, you can break free from the limitations they impose and start living the life you truly deserve. So take that first step today—your inner child, and your future self, will thank you.<figure id="figure-kie5bp3dfcm0o5gtlf"><iframe id="kie5bp3dfcm0o5gtlf" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0PMC9VFqZ-E" class="w-full bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" allowfullscreen="" data-url="https://youtu.be/0PMC9VFqZ-E?si=aGsZbfTD__egiDCw" data-corners="default" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0PMC9VFqZ-E" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></iframe></figure>Ready to start your healing journey?&nbsp;Have you noticed any of these patterns in your own life?

Healing Your Inner Child: How Childhood Patterns Could Be Holding You Back

Maybe your path is in your pain…I came across a video today that offered a unique perspective on soulmates. It wasn’t the usual romanticized idea of perfect unions and happy endings. Instead, it went into the heartbreaks, the missed opportunities, and the moments of bad timing that shape our lives. These experiences, the video suggested, aren’t just painful detours. They’re teachers. They show us our strengths, cultivate gratitude for what we have, and ultimately lead us to the people who truly see us for who we are.<figure id="figure-jshvjyma0b5m0bb58at"><img id="jshvjyma0b5m0bb58at" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1617894027/photo/red-broken-heart-paper-on-white-keyboard-computer-background.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=2y-e4T5AhENhVRdLV6urGkAVekQy7_Koymod7S9teC4=" alt="Red broken heart paper on white keyboard computer background." title="Red broken heart paper on white keyboard computer background." class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1617894027/photo/red-broken-heart-paper-on-white-keyboard-computer-background.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=2y-e4T5AhENhVRdLV6urGkAVekQy7_Koymod7S9teC4=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>This got me thinking about the upcoming <a data-mce-href="https://jaimecoaches.com/groupcoaching" href="https://jaimecoaches.com/groupcoaching">"Manifest Your Soulmate Mastermind"</a> and what that phrase truly means. The title itself feels a bit misleading. When I reflect on how I designed the program, it’s clear that it’s not just about focusing on attracting one specific person or manifesting a singular outcome. It's about something much deeper.The essence of the program is about learning to get clear on what you want, staying in a high vibration, appreciating where you are right now, and—most importantly—trusting the process. And that process involves embracing all of what unfolds in your life, not just the moments we label as “good.”This is where true peace, joy, and manifestation come in. When you understand that every experience, including the painful ones, is part of your journey, you begin to see that your path might very well be in your pain. The heartbreaks and challenges are not just obstacles; they’re opportunities for growth and transformation.<figure id="figure-gu50gie1em0bb732j"><img id="gu50gie1em0bb732j" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/958125956/photo/innovation.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=_rcPjxgBZEGjKFaFMFR7yYHL35zZElrdASUKkMG-yms=" alt="innovation" title="innovation" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/958125956/photo/innovation.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=_rcPjxgBZEGjKFaFMFR7yYHL35zZElrdASUKkMG-yms=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>Consider how past hurts have shaped you. They’ve likely forced you to dig deeper, to find strength you didn’t know you had, and to reevaluate what truly matters to you. These experiences can be the catalysts that propel you towards your highest potential. In this way, pain isn’t just something to be endured—it’s something to be learned from and, ultimately, something that can lead to profound growth.So, what do we really mean by "manifesting your soulmate"? Perhaps it’s not just about finding that one perfect person. Maybe it’s about becoming the person you were always meant to be. It’s about aligning with your true self, embracing your journey, and trusting that the right people will come into your life at the right time.Given this deeper understanding, I wonder—what should we call this program instead? The current title doesn’t quite capture the depth and breadth of what we’re aiming to achieve. It’s not just about manifesting a soulmate; it’s about manifesting a life that’s rich with meaning, purpose, and joy, no matter what twists and turns your journey takes.What do you think? How can we better represent this transformative journey in the title of the mastermind? I'd love to hear your thoughts.That being said, are you ready to learn about getting clear on what you want, staying in a high vibration, appreciating where you are right now, and—most importantly—trusting the process so that you can live with the most joy?<figure id="figure-xvxlabmm4gm0bbbcx3" class=""><iframe id="xvxlabmm4gm0bbbcx3" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xAh4Pp7R7Eo" class="w-full bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" allowfullscreen="" data-url="https://youtu.be/xAh4Pp7R7Eo?si=7CYNrxWJ4EkwDOP5" data-corners="default" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xAh4Pp7R7Eo" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></iframe></figure>Join us September 2nd for the 10-Day Manifest Your Soulmate Mastermind! <a data-mce-href="https://jaimecoaches.com/groupcoaching" href="https://jaimecoaches.com/groupcoaching">Click Here to Learn More!</a>

Our conscious mind can only process about 120 bits per second. The job of our RAS is to be a bouncer if you will. It only lets into Club Brain what will keep us alive AND what is of interest to us.

Finding your soulmate is a journey that goes beyond the surface of physical attraction or chance encounters. It’s about aligning your energy, intentions, and actions with the love you seek. Manifesting your soulmate is a powerful process that involves self-discovery, positive energy, and trust in the universe.<figure id="figure-hzw9g49c99lzmzhaoo"><img id="hzw9g49c99lzmzhaoo" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/636379014/photo/hands-forming-a-heart-shape-with-sunset-silhouette.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=2yWUAn2WldsKnOzepBqLRpJXUCBZwb3w-sWqj3j6sfE=" alt="hands forming a heart shape with sunset silhouette" title="hands forming a heart shape with sunset silhouette" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/636379014/photo/hands-forming-a-heart-shape-with-sunset-silhouette.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=2yWUAn2WldsKnOzepBqLRpJXUCBZwb3w-sWqj3j6sfE=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure> Here are three essential tips to help you attract your soulmate.1. Cultivate Self-Love Before you can attract the love you desire, it’s crucial to love yourself fully. Self-love creates a positive energy that draws others to you and sets the standard for how you want to be treated. Spend time nurturing your own well-being—whether that’s through self-care routines, pursuing hobbies that bring you joy, or practicing mindfulness. When you truly value and love yourself, you emit a frequency that attracts others who will value and love you in the same way.2. Get Clear on What You Want Clarity is key in manifestation. Take some time to reflect on what you truly want in a partner. What qualities are most important to you? What values do you want them to share? Create a list or even a vision board that represents the kind of relationship you desire. This helps you align your energy with your intentions, making it easier for the universe to bring that person into your life.3. Trust the Process and Let Go Manifestation works best when you trust the process and let go of the need to control the outcome. Believe that the universe is working in your favor, and know that your soulmate will come into your life at the right time. Avoid obsessing over when or how it will happen. Instead, focus on living your life to the fullest, and be open to the possibilities that come your way. Trust that the universe has a plan, and everything will unfold as it’s meant to.Manifesting your soulmate is a beautiful journey that begins with you. By cultivating self-love, getting clear on your desires, and trusting the process, you’ll be well on your way to attracting the love that’s meant for you. Remember, the most important relationship you have is with yourself—and when you honor that, everything else falls into place.<a data-mce-href="https://jaimecoaches.com/groupcoaching" href="https://jaimecoaches.com/groupcoaching" data-mce-selected="inline-boundary">Are you ready to be more intentional about manifesting your soulmate?&nbsp; Join Us September, 2nd for The 10-Day Manifest Your Soulmate Mastermind!

More things I wanted by "couldn't have", more things that "held me back", and more "what ifs", and "should haves".

How do you change the world?

Have you ever wanted something and then suddenly started seeing it everywhere? I remember when I was younger I wanted a purple Volkswagen Cabriolet Convertible. As soon as I set my eyes on it, everywhere I looked, I saw the Cabriolet Convertible. Was it the universe giving me a sign? I thought so, but something else was actually at play. Y'all know I am a brain nerd and love learning how to hack it to bring about all that we want in our lives...that's where the VW Cabriolet came in...or shall I say...The RAS.&nbsp;<figure id="figure-kq88hyw9cilypyqbbd"><img id="kq88hyw9cilypyqbbd" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/27bF34movNNg6OgbKpBYykg6gCajSIFgzdVo5PX5GnhwpW81FRjRlQuzbhHEaCIb.png" alt="man wearing white and black plaid button-up sports shirt pointing the silver MacBook" title="man wearing white and black plaid button-up sports shirt pointing the silver MacBook" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionX="undefined" data-positionY="undefined" data-fullWidth="false"/></figure>What is the reticular activating system and why am I talking about it? Well, it plays a role in how we manifest, and I am about to share why that is. The reticular activating system (RAS) is a network of neurons located in the brainstem. It plays a crucial role in regulating wakefulness, arousal, and attention. Here's a breakdown of its main functions and its purported role in manifestation:Functions of the Reticular Activating System Arousal and Consciousness: The RAS is responsible for maintaining consciousness and alertness. It filters incoming stimuli and determines what is important enough to reach the higher brain centers, thereby keeping the brain alert and focused. Sleep-Wake Cycle: The RAS helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle by promoting wakefulness and inhibiting sleep. Attention and Focus: It plays a significant role in attention by filtering out unnecessary information and allowing important information to be processed. This selective attention helps you focus on specific tasks or stimuli.Ok, so what role does the RAS play in manifestation?&nbsp; Role in Manifestation Manifestation is the process of bringing something into your life through focused intention and belief. The RAS can play a role in this process in the following ways:Selective Attention: When you set a goal or intention, your RAS helps you notice opportunities and resources that are aligned with that goal. By focusing your attention on what you want to achieve, the RAS filters out irrelevant information and brings relevant information to the forefront. Reinforcement of Beliefs: The RAS can reinforce your beliefs by making you more aware of experiences and information that confirm your existing beliefs. If you believe strongly in your ability to achieve a goal, your RAS will highlight evidence that supports this belief, making it easier to stay motivated and confident. Visualization: Visualization techniques used in manifestation can stimulate the RAS. When you vividly imagine your desired outcome, the RAS treats these visualizations as real experiences, which can help program your subconscious mind to recognize and act on opportunities that lead to your goal.Long story short, your RAS is basically the gatekeeper between your subconscious mind and your conscious mind. Why does it need a gate keeper? Well, our subconscious mind has a LOT of information per second coming at it per second. WAY more than our conscious mind can handle. I imagine if there was no gate keeper we would look like the Fembots in Austin Powers with our heads about to explode. That is where the RAS comes in. The RAS only lets into our conscious mind, what is going to keep us safe and alive, AND, what is of interest to us. So when we get intentional about the things that we want, our brain will start to notice these things AND the things that will help us bring them about. Make sense?&nbsp;Ok, so now that we have this information, how do we use it to our advantage?&nbsp; Practical Application To harness the power of the RAS for manifestation, you can:Set Clear Goals: Clearly define what you want to achieve and why it is important to you. Visualize Success: Spend time each day visualizing your desired outcome as if it has already been achieved. Affirmations: Use positive affirmations to reinforce your beliefs and intentions. Stay Focused: Remain focused on your goals and be open to recognizing opportunities that align with them. The RAS helps filter and prioritize information, allowing us to stay focused on our goals and recognize opportunities that support our manifestation efforts. Yay! Sounds simple right? ehhhhh.&nbsp;It may be simple but that doesn't mean that it is easy. That is where I come in and why I am hosting the 30-Day Manifest Mastermind. For 30 days we will immerse ourselves in these topics. I will teach you different ways to hack your brain to make the things you desire come to fruition, I will give you concrete steps and assignments that will aid in making those things come about, and hold you accountable. We also have a supportive private group to help along the way and likeminded people who will focused on the same process.&nbsp;Are you ready to make your dreams a reality? Join us for the upcoming Manifest Mastermind!
