Most of us become ‘stuck in place’ at one time or another. Whether stuck in the job, stuck in a relationship, stuck in a friendship or just stuck in your life, it happens.
The true challenge is getting unstuck and moving forward again. Which sounds easy but usually proves to be harder than one would think.
Our blocks are usually established as children and over our life we just accept them as a part of who we are. But really they are not. These negative beliefs are placed there (usually unknowingly) by comments our parents, teachers, friends, neighbors etc. say to us. Comments usually said in anger, rage, jealously or whatever the emotion it is Now, it is up to us to figure out what the belief is and how to remove it.
Let me give you an example:
Growing up I under-excelled in school and graduated in the bottom 5% of my class. I was told repeatedly I was not as smart as my sister or really even the dog. I started college a few years later when I was in the Air Force and I struggled with math. I was lost and immediately started thinking I was too stupid for college and why did I think I could even go to college. Talking with my math teacher after class about dropping the class I said I have never been good at math and wasn’t very smart. He looked at me for a while and calmly said, “you just never had the confidence to learn.” What???? Where did that come from? I have never said anything to him other than I was struggling. He told me grade wise I was holding my own and to just believe I was good at math. That turned out to be my first lesson in re-framing my beliefs.
I took his advice, told myself I was great at math and did well in his class and all the way though Business Statistics, Calculus, Business Finance and well you get the idea. Once I told myself with conviction I was great at math my confidence zoom and was unstoppable.
Take time look at your beliefs, or what is holding you back, and figure out where it came from. Once you understand the evolution of the both the limiting belief and the why the how to fix it is easy.
Until we meet again.
