Post No. 2
After we have checked and rated our satisfaction,
in this post, we will work on each area separately,
and try to check what prevents us to make the changes?

Usually, we will look for external reasons.

This time, we will look inside and check our limiting beliefs,
“Limiting beliefs are thoughts, opinions
that one believes to be the absolute truth.
They tend to have a negative impact on one’s life
by stopping them from moving forward and
growing on a personal and professional level.”

For example,
I worked with a client who wanted to start her own business,
A dream she had for many years,
but there was always an excuse why not,
“With everything happening in the world, it’s not right to start a new business”
“I work full time and have no time to plan”
“Now the children are too young”
“It’s dangerous to be without a fixed salary”
And a few more excuses …
All of these are external reasons!

I asked her to check with herself
What is the real reason that is stopping her?

She realized that as a child, her parents always told her
- that it’s always better to be an employee, and having a fixed salary,
- that it’s dangerous to be a business owner,
- that most people are not good enough to be self-employed,
- that only very talented people can be independent,
And a few more.

Now she realized why she was not even trying.

And by looking around her,
she found new successful businesses,
that were employees, who decided to change.

She found a proof that it is possible,
there are new businesses and they are successful,
it neutralized the fear,
and made it more possible for her to move on.

How did they do it?
They wanted the change, and made steps to achieve it.
some worked on the weekend,
others took some hours after work,
some worked with a life coach,

These people just found the way to prove
to themselves that IT IS POSSIBLE !!

I invite you to choose one area that you are stuck,
and write down your emotions that this field evokes in you.

Write down both the good and the bad ones.

Would love to hear how it’s helping you,
