  • Focus on the actions that support you

  • Remove space for the actions that undermine you

  • Experience the exponential benefit of a life full of what works, with little space for what doesn't!

Crowding out provides a space for exponential positive or negative reinforcement. It is an incredibly easy and powerful tool and you have it at your disposal in every choice you make. Crowding out can shift and stack the odds of success in your favour, and equally, explains why it can be so easy to fall off the bandwagon and find yourself falling behind.

So, what is it? 

Simply put, crowding out is the act of doing more of one thing to remove space for something else. In dietary terms, this could mean eating more fruits & vegetables, and having less space for biscuits or cake!

In a coaching context, crowding out is as rewarding a concept! And it's easy! Crowd out unsupportive or undermining behaviours & actions by doing more of what brings out the best in your and aligns to your vision. 

The possibilities for change & growth are exponential when you start to crowd out the disruptions! As you pour more energy into actions, behaviours & thoughts that support you, you not only reap the developmental rewards, but you remove space for undermining actions, behaviours & thoughts and avoid the resulting emotional or operational deficit.

Put simply:

The more you do to support yourself
the better off you will be,

AND

As you prioritise your wellbeing,
you also remove space for disruptive
actions to set you back.

Clearly, crowding out the negative is a simple way to get exponentially more of what you want! 

The best part? You can harness this little trick & get started right now! 

All you need is a little clarity & self-awareness! There is no need to identify or try to understand what doesn't work - simply do more of what feels good & supports you & trust the process!

So, here are 3 simple steps to find that clarity & self-awareness, and crowd out the crap that’s stopping you from getting to where you want to be!

  1. Get Curious:

Crowding out the disruptive behaviours means doing more of what works for you. Get curious about what you are doing & what is going on when you are at your best? 

2. Get Specific: 

What do these situations and responses have in common? Distill 3-5 consistent behaviours or actions that allow you to show up consistently in a positive way.

3. Commit:

Commit to the behaviours & actions you are going to make non-negotiable, every day, to crowd out disruptive behaviour.
