Energy cannot be created nor destroyed
‘…but it can change form’
I love science
I loved it at school
I loved it when I did my degree in it
I always remembered the definition of the conservation of energy
‘Energy cannot be created, nor destroyed, but it can change form’
We put A LOT of energy into telling ourselves that we can’t do stuff
That we are stupid or worthless or fat or ugly
We put so much energy into this pursuit that we end up believing in it
These notions have a label
They are called limiting beliefs
I will share with you some of my limiting beliefs
[but notice the tense]
I believed that I would not be taken seriously if I admitted that I had an eating disorder
I believed that I would not be able to make a success of myself if some people didn’t take me seriously
I believed that I had to present a perfect outer shell to be successful and taken seriously in this industry
I didn’t believe that I had enough knowledge
I didn’t believe that I had enough experience
ALL of these things WERE holding me back at one time
Then one day
I CHOSE not to believe in them
That’s right
It was my choice
And everything flipped on its head
I chose to believe that I was and am ENOUGH
I chose to believe that I am intelligent and I have the abilities to pass on my knowledge to other people
I chose to believe that my life experience has been vast and has set me up to be a considerate driven passionate individual
I chose to believe that I WILL BE SUCCESSFUL
And I can see it now
Before, when my thoughts were all muddled negative and LIMITING
My vision was fuzzy
Now I can see
I see a future that I want
I visualise this future
And you know what, the image gets stronger and more detailed every day!
What do you see in your future?
If your future is fuzzy then we may need to work on your limiting beliefs
Make a list of all of your beliefs
On one side write your beliefs that are empowering
And on the other side write your beliefs that are dis-empowering
This is a concept from the Tony Robbins book Awaken the Giant Within
Thus far, a captivating read!!
I would love to know what your beliefs are
And when you find out what is holding you back, you might be surprised!
