How to Stop Self-Sabotage: Breaking Your Capacity Ceiling


Listen Later

Ep. 397: Have you ever felt like you were finally about to break through to that next level of success, only to find yourself suddenly distracted, exhausted, or picking fights with your partner?

You have the strategy, you’ve done the mindset work, and you know exactly what needs to be done. But the closer you get to that revenue goal or program launch, the more you start to drag your feet.

In this episode, Teri Holland dives deep into the Capacity Ceiling. Using principles of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), she explains why your nervous system might actually perceive your growth as a physical threat—and how to retrain your body to feel safe while you grow.

Inside the Episode:
  • The "Internal Thermostat": How your unconscious mind prioritizes familiarity over happiness or wealth.

  • The T.O.T.E. Model: A breakdown of the "Test-Operate-Test-Exit" loop and why most entrepreneurs get stuck in a permanent state of "Operate."

  • The 3 Pillars of the Capacity Ceiling:

    1. Visibility: The primal fear of being seen and judged.

    2. Responsibility: The dread of the "weight" that comes with a bigger business.

    3. Worthiness: Why your body can feel "allergic" to higher levels of wealth.

    4. Expansion Over Effort: Why "pushing through" leads to burnout and what to do instead.

    5. 3 Steps to Expand Your Container: From naming the feeling to micro-dosing success through embodiment.
