5 Signs Limiting Beliefs Are Holding You Back
A limiting belief is a state of mind or belief about yourself that restricts you in some way.
Here is the thing about your life - it is what you make it.
It’s that simple.
You can choose to keep doing what you’re doing.
Or you can align your mindset to what you want and take action to get there.
So many of us - trust me, I did it for years - think that dreams are for the future, or fun to think about not reality. I am here to tell you that you can make almost anything a reality. But first you need to believe that you deserve what it is you are going after.
If the following phrases run through your mind, chances are limiting beliefs are holding you back from living a [bigger, quieter, richer, more meaningful - insert your word here] life:
Opportunities present themselves to certain people // people like me don’t get opportunities like that. First, there is no us and them. Take yourself right out of that pity category. Then ask yourself if you make decisions and take actions based on the idea that things don’t go your way.
It’s too late…to change careers, make more, learn a new skill or hobby. It. Is. Never. Too. Late. Don’t be a afraid to be a beginner and start toward a life that includes the thing you’re writing out of your life without even trying.
Maybe someday when…the kids are grown, the equity is vested, after my next bonus, LTI grant, etc. Unless your someday is after achieving a goal you’re already working on, maybe may as well be never. Ask yourself instead, how could I start now?
If only…I knew the right people, had the money, was supported by my partner/family members. Whoosh this is a big one. Support is important, but making decisions for your own life based on other peoples’ life experience and limiting beliefs, will keep you right on the safe path.
It would never be successful. The business and online landscape is always changing. With some creativity, passion and marketing, you can truly make a business out of almost anything. Or at least work to look across your life and make some room for what lights you up.
If this is resonating…
If you are ignoring the whisper, the nudge, the dream and letting life pass you by, let’s talk. I truly believe that creating a plan is what stands between living a circular life and living a life you design.
