Episode 120: Limiting Beliefs and Empowering Questions


Listen Later

We are each the product of our own belief system

Carl Jung, “Man is so imprisoned in his type of thinking that he is simply incapable of fully understanding another standpoint.”

Warranty, “if you don’t like the one you have, you can return it for one that is more preferable.”

You can change the beliefs that created your reality.

Limiting Belief: Something you accept about life, about yourself, about your world, and the people in it that limits you in some way.

Curt Carlson, “Obstacles are those frightening things you see when you take your eye off the target.”

The thing that gets in the way: all the bullshit in the industry that has actors going in too many directions.

Big T Truth vs little t truth:

  • The Bit T Truth: Who you really are, all the best aspects of you.
  • The little t truth: the truth you think you are, or ego’s truth.

Write down 3 Limiting Beliefs about you or your acting career.

Ask yourself these Empowering Questions:

  1. How True is that belief?
  2. Where did you get that idea from?
  3. How has that belief affected you?
  4. What would it feel like if you let this belief go?
  5. What would be easier for you?
  6. How can I let that belief go?
  7. How can you put that letting go into action immediately?

What are Empowering Questions?

“Quality questions create a quality life. Successful people ask better questions and as a result, they get better answers.” Tony Robbins

They are:

  • Open ended
  • Clarity seeking
  • Probing
  • Challenging
  • Thought provoking
  • Future directed
  • Solution oriented
  • They spark your imagination and they get you to think

 

The right questions at the right time for the right reason in the right format to get the right response.

  1. What can I do?
  2. How can I make that work?
  3. What other choices could I make?
  4. How would someone who really loves me tell me to look at this?
  5. What is going to be my next step?
  6. What have you been able accomplished in the past and how able to accomplish that task?

Remain teachable.
