Limiting Beliefs and Crafting Your New Year’s Resolutions with Zero Limits

It’s that time of year – when we look to make a fresh start and resolve to make positive changes in our lives.  It’s wonderful time to dream about where you’d love to see yourself at this time next year.   I even coach my clients to envision their “ideal day in the life.” 

When you think about your dream, are you ready, willing and able to go after it?  What’s between you and your dream?  Often times, I find it’s important to notice what’s stopping you from going after your dreams – it is a fact or feeling?

Here are some limiting beliefs I’ve heard stated as fact when they’re actually a feeling:

• Realizing my dream is like finding a unicorn.
• No one has everything they want.
• It’s too late for me.  I missed my chance. 
• It’s not responsible to chase dreams when I have people relying on me. 

What “facts” are you operating under, that really are feelings in disguise?   

The wonderful truth is that these feelings are just that.  They’re not universal truths or laws that can’t be changed.  In fact, it’s these very feelings or beliefs that we must change and expand beyond in order to see new exciting and real possibilities for ourselves in 2019. 

Henry Ford said it best, “If you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.”  Man once thought he could not fly and now we have been to the moon.  Today’s smart phones were once just science fiction.  Our beliefs in what’s possible can expand and change.  What belief did you once hold that your wiser self has overcome or chuckles at today?  Where do we pick up/get these limits in our thinking? How can we help others expand their thinking beyond limits?  These are the kinds of questions we’ll ponder on #SpiritChat.
