#75: What is Holding You Back?"
#75: “What is Holding You Back?"
In this Monday Mindset Episode, I am talking about What is Actually Holding us Back!
It is the last four months of 2019. Are you still pursuing the same goals from the beginning of January? If not, what is stopping you? When we break down the things that are stopping us from reaching forward toward our goals, we quickly realize that it’s all on us. It is our choice what we are doing, not doing, chasing, working towards or stopping us. It is all our choice.
In this episode we talk about:
1. Recognizing the “stories”, excuses, and limitations that we take on from other people. It is easy to believe the thoughts and opinions from others, because truthfully it is easier to stay smaller. Don’t follow the easy path, follow the path that is calling you to use your gifts. That is where we make the biggest impact!
2. Letting the fear of judgement of others dictate and limit your life is a waste of your gifts and talent. No one will ever judge you more than you judge yourself, so don’t give the opinions of others that much weight!
3. Being embarrassed to share your stories, to show up as your true authentic self, to share your “humanness” with others is simply showing your judgement of yourself. Stop being so hard on yourself. It is time to give yourself some self-compassion, grace and forgiveness.
4. The shame that we carry from our stories is weighing us down, it is out of control. Shame loves secrecy, so the more we hide and bury ourselves in shame, the more shame wins. We must give a voice to our stories, to the lessons that we learned even to help ourselves move forward.
5. A lack of boundaries is a direct relationship to the anxiety we experience. Learning how to create and implement boundaries can be life changing.
6. The limits that we are choosing to stop us from pursuing our goals, are all limits that we are choosing. If we are responsible for choosing them, we can also let them go. They don’t have to be our limits. We don’t have to accept any of these limits. Let’s not be the reasons that we are holding ourselves back.
