5 Stories You’re Telling Yourself That’s Holding You Back!

Today on the podcast:

Today is a pretty heavy hitting mindset episode, I talk about some things in my own life that I haven’t spoken about previously to try and give context to how these stories showed up in my life and the life triggers that sparked them. I feel like this would have been a treasure map for me five years so I hope it helps as it’s something I needed to hear not too long ago.

Story 1: IT’S JUST NOT THE RIGHT TIME  05:12
Watch out for fear disguised as practicality

Story 2: I’M DOING SOMETHING SO THAT’S GOOD ENOUGH 15:31
Do not confuse movement with progress!

Story 3: I CAN’T DO THAT! 24:42
If you tell yourself you cant, your mind will close off immediately. Remember, if your goals don’t scare you they aren’t big enough!

Story 4: WAIT, BUT THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE! 30:10
All your limitations are self-created and impossible is a big word thrown around by small people.
Try telling Thomas Edison (inventor of the light bulb) or The Wright Brothers (inventors of the aeroplane) that their ideas were impossible!
(Steve Jobs, Elon Musk and Richard Branson are the modern day examples)
 
Story 5: I’LL LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES! 32:57
This one needs more context.
It’s incredibly important to learn from mistakes but nobody said they had to be your mistakes.
Reframing this one single story has changed everything in my life in over the last five years.
