Chapter 4 of Forleo’s book mentions something we all struggle with… excuses and limiting beliefs that hold us back from our goals. We all face this during peaks and valleys of life, but what do we do when we get there? Join us as we discuss how to get out of your own way.
Can’t vs Won’t
Here’s a tough pill to swallow: excuses are choices! When we come up with an excuse to not chase our dreams, we are choosing to stay stuck. Ouch! Let’s dig deeper.
What is the exact phrase you say in your mind when you are stopping yourself from your dreams? Go further, what’s there? What is the underlying fear or hold up? Is it something you CAN’T do or WON’T do? BOOM.
If it’s something you can’t do, you can troubleshoot your way through it, but if it’s something you won’t do, that’s a prioritization conflict. Yes, always keep your priorities in check.
Is getting that extra hour of sleep instead of working out really benefitting you? If it is, by all means, you know your body and what it needs to sustain itself. Again, always reevaluate and reassess frequently., especially when new life phases occur (marriage, babies, jobs, etc…). We spend more time here in the episode, so be sure to check it out at the top of this page or wherever you get your podcasts.
Overcome your limiting beliefs
Limiting beliefs are thoughts that go on in our heads that keep us from doing what we could and should be doing. It’s the negative narrative that stunts our growth and keeps us shying away from our God-given calling. In this episode, we address three common limiting beliefs and how to combat them:
- I don’t have enough time.
- The money isn’t there.
- I don’t know how to do _____.
We give you tons of great life hacks and step by step processes to take on how to alleviate these limiting beliefs. Marie Forleo gives great insight and leverages her experiences to share what she’s learned.
