4 Steps to Set Your
Mind for Success
Beth
Tabak
“Our deepest fear
is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear
is that we are powerful beyond measure.” Marianne Williamson
How long have you waited to be happy at work? Or to write a book? Or
bring home the income you deserve? Are you your own best support system
or biggest diversion? Consider this, the cheetah has no problem using
its gift of speed. The bald eagle easily uses its keen eye sight and
ability to soar. Dolphins joyfully display their playfulness. Imagine
what is possible for humans with our unique gift of the mind if we focus
on what serves us vs. what holds us back. Discover 4 steps to set your
mind for success.
1- Know what is limiting you~ Do you like mysteries? Here’s one that can
change your life. Let’s investigate. What beliefs are at the core of who
you are? Pay attention for one week to self-limiting beliefs that show
up. As a detective, be consciously aware. Keep a journal handy to jot
down notes. Beliefs can present themselves as a label you place upon
yourself partnered with an assumption such as Single Parent- there is
only so much I can do. They can reveal themselves in a negative
statement such as “I can’t be ….”, “I can’t do…”, “ I’m not good
enough”, I’m not smart enough…”. Beliefs may be uncovered in an
assumption such as “there’s not enough time”, “that’s too hard”, or
“he’ll say ‘no’”. Write down the beliefs that are restraining you from
what you want.
2- Get to the source of the diversion~ A good detective digs deeper.
Whose voice is attached to the belief? How did this belief become
attached to your life? Is it legitimate? Is it serving you? Or limiting
you? Jot your notes. I have to warn you. We hesitate to go within
because we subconsciously know what may be lurking at the source. That 4
letter word… fear! Write down the fears you discover that are holding
you back.
3- Rewrite your limiting beliefs and fears with an unlimited confident
attitude~ Turn “I can’t” into “I am”, “that’s too hard” into “I know I
can do this part”, “I don’t have enough time” into “I know what’s
important and I do that first”, and “Single Parent- there’s only so much
I can do” to “Single Parent- the world is my resource. It’s abundant and
lacks nothing.” Let me know if you need help with this. Reread your new
attitudes daily until it becomes part of who you are. A simple task that
makes an impact.
4- Stand strong and respond~ Do not give into self-limiting beliefs!
When they show up mount up. When you hear “you will never be …” respond
by saying “says who? I determine my value.” When you think “you are
going to make a fool of yourself” , respond “and I will love myself for
having the guts to try.” And when you believe there is no time left for
your dreams, drop what’s not as important and stand up for who you are.
Are you willing to do what it takes to set your mind for success? Will
you do the detective work to gain access to your unlimited potential?
