In this episode I am sharing a perspective shift and understanding I have learned firsthand and through this whole process of studying NLP. Achieving our goals is not always about working harder, doing more, working to the bone, it is about seeing where the limitations are, or the perceived limitations are. And no matter how hard you work, you will never outperform what you believe is possible for you. You will get close, almost reach your goals, but if you don’t see it as something as possible then it will never happen for you. This quote by John C. Maxwell is so good, “Successful people don’t have any fewer problems than unsuccessful people; they just have a different mindset in dealing with them.” 

 

In today’s episode we discuss:

1) Here are 5 of the most common limiting beliefs. I don’t have enough time; I don’t have the resources to be successful; I am not someone who follows through. I'm not good enough for x,y,z, and I don’t have what it takes to be successful. 

2)  Your mindset is informed by beliefs, values, experiences, and cultural background, among other factors that guide your thoughts and actions. Beliefs are mental representations of what we consider to be true or false. They are the foundation of our mindset and influence our perception of the world, self-image, and behaviour. 3) A limiting mindset, on the other hand, becomes your ceiling. You can’t outperform that belief. It holds you back and prevents you from achieving anything beyond it, such as “I’m not smart enough” or “I’m too old to learn new things.” Once you get locked onto a set of beliefs or a single lens, everything else revolves around that mindset. Your life becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.  Your beliefs shape your behaviour, which in turn shapes our outcomes, reinforcing our beliefs. If we believe we are incapable of achieving anything worthwhile, we are less likely to take the necessary actions to make them a reality.
