Publisher's letter A
s I write this publisher letter, it’s still early August – hot and humid! But I know that September is just around the corner and for most of us it’s back
to school, back to work and back to our usual routines. It’s a great opportunity to take some quiet time and really examine what we’ve accomplished this year…and what might still be holding us back. That little voice in our head that keeps telling us we’re not good enough – those are your limiting beliefs.
How do you know if you are being controlled by limiting beliefs?
Ask yourself the following questions: 1. Do you get stuck on the dot and fi nd reasons why you can’t move forward?
2. When you have the opportunity to meet someone or talk to someone who could be very infl uential in helping you achieve a dream, do you make excuses as to why you can’t call them or meet them?
3. When you think about accomplishing your big goal or dream, do you feel an inordinate amount of fear and does the voice tell you it’ll never happen?
4. When you do accomplish a goal, do you fi nd yourself unable to accept praise from yourself or others and do you tell yourself it was no big deal?
If you’ve answered yes to any of these, here are some strategies to help you manage your limiting beliefs.
1. Write down 5 positive affi rmations about yourself, your talents, and what you can offer to the world. Post these somewhere you can see them regularly and verbally say them aloud every day.
2. Challenge yourself and do the thing you fear the most. Every time you do something that scares you and you get a positive response, it’s a huge victory for your self-confi dence.
3. Anytime you feel fear or you feel stuck, it’s an opportunity for you to check in with yourself and fi nd out why.
4. Focus on your dreams. Make a list of all of the things you want to manifest. Don’t worry about how it’s going to happen or if you think it’s unrealistic. I fi nd that focusing on what I really want allows me to be fearless in taking the steps I need to take to manifest these things.
And remember, eliminating those limiting beliefs takes time. After all, you
didn’t form those beliefs overnight, so be gentle and compassionate with yourself. In Health and Happiness,
