Thursday knows no bounds

Today was a beautiful, sunny day—a perfect time to discuss limiting beliefs. Being trapped by limiting beliefs means being stuck between life’s truth and facts.

I used to doubt my writing abilities and question whether I could be an author. I also grappled with the idea that I needed to change my personality to be an effective coach.

Additionally, I struggled with feelings of inadequacy, believing that I wasn’t worthy of recognition.
These thoughts were constantly on my mind, but I decided to confront them.

I started by writing them down, and as I did, I began to see that these beliefs were not aligning with the life I wanted to lead. This realization was the first step towards breaking free from my limiting beliefs.

It made me laugh because I allowed facts, not truth, to hold me back. For example, the positive feedback I received for my blog and published books proved that my voice mattered and that I was making a difference, even if only to a few people.

My introversion, which I once saw as a limitation, has been a strength. It allows me to observe people and situations more deeply before reacting, a skill that has proven invaluable when meeting new people.

I’ve learned to embrace my true self, and this authenticity has allowed me to shine and connect with others more meaningfully.
Which self-limiting beliefs have held you back, and what steps have you taken to conquer them?
