Why we stay in our comfort zone.
Who is comfy right now?
It feels nice, right?

Naturally I tend to be a limit pusher.
A bit of a rebel.
I don’t want to be comfy.
I want to keep trying new things.
I want to keep pushing myself to grow.
Quoting Mel Robbins here, “Your mind loves what it knows. Anything that feels familiar, whether it’s good or bad for you, is what your mind wants more of because it can predict the outcome. Your mind is an efficiency machine designed to keep you safe which is why it loves patterns, routines, and habits. Predictability = no risk”
If you like a predictable life without any risk, let me know in the chat!
But even when we are in the familiar, we have limiting beliefs pop up.
Beliefs that we acquired as an adult, beliefs that were engrained in us when we were young, beliefs that were formed from observing others, beliefs that aren’t even ours but we’ve adopted and concluded they are true.

Fear.
FEAR really just stands for
FALSE
EVIDENCE
APPEARING
REAL
Repeat that!
What are some common limiting beliefs that you have pop up ?
Are they around your ability to do something?
Are they around money?
Is there a pattern there?
I want you to notice these thoughts when they pop up.
I want you to look it in the face, acknowledge it, like “oh, you think that… I can’t make enough money to retire my husband from that factory job?”
And I want you to sit there with it and really think. IS THIS TRUE? Or is this False Evidence Appearing Real?
Who says it’s true?
YOU DO.
Do you want it to be true?
Or are you determined to debunk it each and every day?

You have a bit of homework today
I want you to write down
THREE LIMITING BELIEFS
and an affirmation to debunk them.
GRAB A MANTRA DECK HERE!
How to do this?
Example:
a limiting belief would be something like
“ I could never create something that people would pay me for.”
A mantra to debunk that would be – one that I actually personally use
“As I do what I love, money flows to me freely.”
Another example:
limiting belief
“Good things don’t happen to people like me”
A mantra to debunk that would be
“Happiness is my birth right. I choose to believe that I am creating the life of my dreams”

A little hack that I regularly implement is to truly believe that the universe, god, insert higher power here is ALWAYS working in your favor.
