Are Your Limiting Beliefs Preventing You Achieving the Life
You Know You Deserve?
Do you ever read inspirational stories in magazines and wonder why this person’s life is so blessed yet yours is so lacking? Yet when you start to read the article invariably the person you are reading about has not always had it so easy.
The common theme for the transformation seems to be a point where the person decides quite startlingly to make a change. The change always begins in the person’s head, they have a 'light bulb moment' when they decide things will have to change and they take control of their life and determine a new direction.
The light bulb moment is the trigger which pre-empts the change and the person then begins to see their life in a new way. They plan how they want their life to be and then either consciously or sub-consciously begin to plan a way forward.
In order to effect the most change the person needs to have a total belief in their ability to achieve this challenge. This is the most difficult part as one tries to move forward towards the goal, friends, family and well meaning others watch and wait for the mission to fail and to be able to say, 'We knew you couldn’t do it!'
This is not because they want you to fail, it just helps them to justify why they don’t break out of their own comfort zone and familiar routines to try to achieve something new.
So, why would this exciting prospect for your future fail to materialise and struggle to move away from the starting blocks?
From an early age we are conditioned to accept our lot in life and not step out of the self imposed restrictions to improve our position.
We are encouraged to believe that it is too hard, too complicated, and too far; we are not rich enough, clever enough, or powerful enough nor even deserve to achieve great things. We cite examples of people who have tried and failed and to ensure we don’t fail, we get out of the habit of trying.
As we grow through childhood into adolescence we are conditioned to know the boundaries of our potential. Grandiose ideas of stepping out of our comfort zone become objects for derision, and slowly we become conditioned to accept our lot. Well meaning parents do not condition their children out of malice or mal intent but out of good will and best intention to ensure that their children do not become pretentious and conceited and instead 'fit' the norms of society.
"If we truly believed that we live in an open society where all children grow up
to achieve their true potential why do so many children grow up
to replicate the lives and expectations of their parents?"
So, have you come to a place in your life where, you know deep inside that 'something' has to give; you know that you deserve much more out of your life and you know you could do it, if only you had the support to bolster up that self belief.
The good news is that you can achieve your dreams and ambitions.
A life coach will help you to challenge the limiting beliefs that have been imposed on your sub-conscious from childhood. You will be helped and supported to take small steps towards your goal, the coach will have belief in you and encourage you forward, helping you to develop a new set of beliefs that will serve to help you have the knowledge that you can do great things and achieve what you always believed was beyond your reach.
