What would you do if you were unstoppable?
Have you read Gay Hendrick’s book The Big Leap?
Gay writes about the Upper Limit Problem, a negative emotional reaction or a form of self-sabotage, that can occur when we start to achieve success beyond what we’re accustomed to.
It’s usually based on perception, beliefs, and past experiences.
Recognizing and overcoming any self-imposed limits (many of us have them), is essential if we want to achieve and sustain success.
As it’s now September, with a sense of renewed energy, I’m challenging any doubt and fear, consciously overcoming barriers to success and happiness, and aiming for a new reality.
With a combination of mindset shifts, planning, consistent effort, and a willingness to step out of the comfort zone, what do you believe you could achieve?
Read on for easy to implement solutions…
Cultivate a growth mindset. Believe in your capabilities and embrace opportunities to learn and grow. You are the creator of your life, regardless of your situation and circumstances.
Regularly challenge yourself with tasks and experiences which you might feel are beyond your current abilities or confidence level. You might be amazed at how skilled and talented you are. One of my friends has just completed a course learning how to make leather goods and I’m incredibly impressed at what she has created. I can see her starting a new and profitable business.
Use visualization techniques to imagine yourself successfully achieving your goals.
Be willing to adapt and adjust your approach. Assess what’s working, what isn’t, and make changes. I like to track and review my progress monthly and quarterly, and then make decisions about what to do differently and what to let go of.
Connect with others who inspire you to stretch beyond your comfort zone. Find new networks of people who can offer valuable feedback, experience, encouragement, and accountability.
Embrace failure as a learning experience, where you can analyse what went wrong and how you can change your approach.
Spend time in new environments. One year I travelled around India on my own. I admit I was VERY nervous before I went. However, it was an amazing trip, and my journey opened my mind to new experiences and ideas, which would never have been possible sitting at my desk.
