A noteworthy group of men and women all over the world have invested the lion’s share of their lives into the Offshore Industry. Many, if not most, have University degrees and/or specialist education, and on balance they are an informed crowd. They chose this field to better themselves and their families, outside of the regular “9 to 5”. Not everyone can do this and it can certainly be rewarding.
While I like to think of them as more accomplished in some sort of way, I’m also aware that the same challenges that affect onshore workers, equally affect the Offshore crew. Specifically I’m talking about Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual & Financial Health. One may think that individuals with type-A personalities, specialist education, drive, dedication and passion would have things all figured out.
But after 42 years of working Offshore myself, I understand that many Offshore personnel are struggling in some capacity. The offshore pay is very good, but we’ve also paid a significant price for it. Missed birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and Christmas’s. Absent from special family days become too numerous to count. I’ve seen many abuse alcohol and I have experience there too (perhaps another article).
The offshore lifestyle combined with subconscious conditioning can end up negatively affecting the potential for greatness, happiness and prosperity…all without understanding why it is happening? For example, many may start a fitness regime, initiate a better diet, or commit to fix an unhealthy addiction…but the self-saboteur ends up right back where they started, several months or even years later. There are many cycles of try-and-fail, often with lack lustre headway. It’s almost like they are programmed to be the exact same person, to act the same way, to have the same income, to never get ahead, and to live the exact same life they’re currently living…..regardless of how hard they try to change.
Obviously this is a very frustrating feeling but there are concrete solutions for overcoming these destructive patterns. First, one must understand just how the brain is easily tricked into non-supportive programming and then acknowledge how physical health actually impacts the intensity & frequency of this destructive behaviour.
To begin your Freedom from Self Sabotage journey, a proprietary in-depth questionnaire is filled out which reveals to the Coach, exactly where and how the negative patterns are occurring. Then a customized a personal action plan for what you need to do in order to overcome the self-sabotaging behaviour follows.
Overcoming self-sabotage is highly effective at:
1. Increasing your health.
2. Helping you feel inspired, empowered, and ready for change.
3. Helping you lose weight.
4. Building better relationships with your loved ones and the people around you.
5. Overcoming addictions.
6. Becoming more confident, outgoing, happy, and satisfied in your life.
7. Helping you get your finances together.
8. Helping you start your own business that you’ve always wanted to start.
9. Helping you walk freely into a better way of living.
10. Helping you take effective action on your dreams.
11. Helping you see the control grid that has always existed in front of you.
12. Preparing you for an empowered life outside of that control grid.
