Limiting beliefs

Not too long ago ( but long enough that my life is so much better now) I believed I could not be successful as a single mum of 5 children. I was frustrated, and felt completely stuck. Luckily, I had a professional in my life who breathed words of life into me. One very simple, powerful word that knocked that lie straight out of my mind. "WHY".

Why did I believe that ? I realised that that belief had been there for a while, probably even before I became a single mother. Wooah, hold on! Single mums are actually the coolest and strongest people I know! I admire them so much, and they inspire me every single day. So because of the character traits that a lot of single mums obtain and learn over time through becoming resilient , why wouldn't a single mum not be successful? That was more of the question now!

We grow up with these kind of beliefs and lies, from our childhoods , our experiences and closing ourselves off to possibilities and different ways of thinking. Its a crying shame that our own brains limit ourselves.

The key is to get curious, what do we believe, and why ? Do we have evidence to back up this belief? Get in a quiet space, give yourself time and really think about this. Believe me, your future self will thank you!
