How Do You Uplevel and When To NOT Uplevel?

Up leveling is a concept talked about a lot within the coaching industry. Usually it involves more money, higher-paying clients, more responsibility, and everything else that we’ve come to think about when it comes to “UP-leveling.”

In this piece, I am going to share with you what it ACTUALLY means to up-level so the amount of time you spend socially comparing yourself to others goes down, and you learn to align to your true heart’s desires.

Upleveling is defined as having greater capabilities or a higher version number. It’s actually a computing term. We think of ourselves in a higher, more evolved version. Many individuals, myself included for years, think of up-leveling as, “Increasing impact and income.” However, upleveling for me has taken on a new definition, “Staying aligned to your values and living from that space of being.”

In our culture we place a heavy emphasis on external appearances and other superficial ways of measuring success. However, I’ve found within my own journey, and within the clients that I coach, that many individuals aren’t satisfied after they’ve accumulated social respect, wealth, and power. One of my most successful clients, a multi-millionaire running an Energy company, had accumulated all of this, but I could see that it was a coverup for all the pain he was experiencing on the inside for not having healthy reciprocal relationships.

In a 75 year study done at Harvard where they tracked the lives of over 750 men they found that the reoccurring theme for long-term happiness and success in life wasn’t fame, social recognition, wealth, but rather community and relationship.

Upleveling for my client was expanding the business, although he originally thought it was, it was about finding and developing key relationships that satisfied his heart.
Here is a step by step way to get into alignment so you can UP-level.

#1 Ask yourself, “What do I value most?”
Some people value wealth, fame, social respect and there is nothing wrong with this. While others value community, time alone, peace. If you’re unsure about your values one of the best ways to get in touch with them is to drop into your emotions. Your emotions are KEY indicators that point you in the direction of where you want to go.

For instance, if you feel bad every time you walk into a certain location that’s a key sign that something in that environment doesn’t align with what you align to on the inside. The same can be said for a certain relationship. If you experience gut issues on a daily basis around your significant other then that is your gut speaking to you that something is right or aligned.
Your emotions are KEY indicators as to what you really want in life.

#2 Recognize that everything will BLOW up!

“The night is darkest before dawn,” says Harvey Dent in Batman. And it’s especially true when you are up-leveling. Suddenly, everything that you seemed to value and create on the external world shifts.

Getting in touch with who you REALLY are and what you REALLY value will jumpstart your life, however it will also blow everything else up. Self-realization is the act of KNOWING who you are and what you want. Anyone can teach you something, but when you have a profound realization you naturally will shift and change your life.

When I have clients get back in touch with who they’re and WHY they’re the way they’re and they fully accept it, somethings in their life tend to blow up, especially their relationships. However, after the blowup and the waters calm, a re-settling takes place and life takes on a whole new meaning and level of peace.

#3 Your level of confidence might temporarily plummet.

Confidence is a natural outcome of taking action that you know works. However, when your up leveling in business, relationships, or life by the very nature of up leveling you are stepping out of your comfort zone and into a whole new terrain. That means your mind won’t know how to orient itself which will activate your “fight or flight” response.

If you feel fear, worry, and anxiety as you take steps forward into the new unknown recognize and understand that this is completely normal. Get a support system and community behind you who understands what’s happening and what you need. With this in place you’ll feel like you’re able to continue forward with more ease. After any bomb there is a time when the dust will settle and you will begin to feel called to rebuild.
