When I think about high performers in the business world, I have an instant visual of a professional man or woman in their mid thirties - nice pressed suit and perfectly shined shoes - running to meeting after meeting. Either virtually or physically. Running, also, themselves ragged. They are working hard to pay their bills, keep kids in college, maybe some “keeping up with the Jones’”. They have family responsibilities which finds them running from work to soccer fields and dance recitals. At the end of this person’s day, they are exhausted, and asking themselves, “Is this what my life is all about?” I have discovered the success drive most people have, comes from what I’ve coined “The Monster Under the Bed”. It’s a voice from our childhood where we felt we HAD to prove our value and worth. It is an example of a Fight message from our survival brain; the part of our brain that comes pre-programmed. It doesn’t make logical sense looking at it now with our prefrontal cortex brain that is fully developed, that a little child would need to prove their worth by what they do, In fact, if you have children, you know that little child is unconditionally loved and worthy as is! But this was wiring, that we are still a product of, wasn’t created from a logical, reasonable place. and this voice will not stop until you are either burnedout or burned-up trying to PROVE how worthy, perfect, acceptable you are. The truth is - you can never get enough of what you never needed to begin with.

Monster Under The Bed Kim Fiske
So, to you, my success driven and over-achiever friend, I offer you a respite. Would you be able to slow down. Make sit in a quiet place and take some deep belly breaths? Can you find some nice calming music - close your eyes - and reaffirm your value and worth as a person? This can be the start of “uncovering the lie” inside you and give you the ability to rewire those pesky, childhood thoughts and emotions.
Then you approach your goals with creation energy, rather than proving energy, and you can find the path to transformation at the deepest level. Happiness, joy and fulfillment are the greatest successes you can have.
The Monster Under the Bed: Uncovering the Lie That Drives Us The terrifying truth is… Everything you “know” about yourself today is based on who you decided you were when you were just 4 or 5 years old. In your childhood you formed decisions about yourself before you were even capable of thinking logically. Those decisions were based on a child’s emotional survival brain, and they are the foundation of the neural pathways of thought and feelings that are instrumental in forming your identity, both positive AND negative. This is why so many people have challenges in their adult lives, especially when it comes to their personal and professional relationships. Luckily, this can all be changed. In The Monster Under the Bed: Uncovering the Lie That Drives Us, Kim reveals how to spot the monster tracks that are lurking in our own psyches and lifts up the bed skirt, exposing what we thought was a monster as nothing more than dust bunnies and empty space that can now be filled with a whole new perception of yourself.
