I want to start with the question- What would life look like if you had no limits?
I’ll get back to this question towards the end of this episode, but I had a chance to write an article today on self-sabotage and wanted to dive a bit deeper on the topic..
I wrote this article https://bit.ly/3mjD520 because I realized any time I was engaging in something outside my comfort zone, I would find myself caught in my head telling bullshit stories to prevent experiencing expansion, and quite possible rejection…
And while self sabotage is there to protect us because it’s the way our brain has been hardwired for survival, we end up loosing out on many opportunities in front of us because we are afraid of uncertainty due to our pasts.
In this process we create subtle or no to subtle ways to not experience the expansive nature on what is the other side of what we are truly afraid of.
And the sad part Is, most of us never test our beliefs because we become a hostage to out past, so we end up giving meaning to things before we even try them…
But you know what this also means? We are also the ones who can change what things mean to use and one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in my life is if you truly want to create a life filled with dope shit, whether it is in your relationships, career, health or finances, the only way to do just that is by taking fully responsibility for your life.
Its interesting once you begin to look at your life like this because you can then gain to stand the fuck up for yourself and squash those limited beliefs.
It’s so easy to go back to our old ways of being and doing. To run from pain in life through substances, working longer hours, and jumping in relationship after relationship…
But to smash these limited beliefs you have to be able to trust yourself , and choose a life that moves you in a direction of your dreams…
The reason why we hold on to the past, is because when things out of our control happen, we become over controlling in everything else in our lives…
So when we tell ourselves bullshit stories, we know this is our reality and if we let it go, we have no clue what will happen…
Part of growth, is being able to step into and look at what parts of your life are you holding on that doesn’t allow life to unduly the way it is meant to.
When you can really do an assessment of this , you can really feel in your hearts what you are afraid of, and build a new skillset to set yourself free from the past.
Here are a few questions you can ask yourself
I hold on because….
What I gain from holding on is….
I have stayed stuck in this place for….
What area of my life do I need to take more responsibility for?
FInally- what would my life look like If there were no lints…
Remember, the goal is not perfection, but consistency. You might not like what you discover in these exercises, but this is your life, and there is no time for fucking around if you want to go all-in on and doing dope shit.
