“Release The Brakes!”

The single biggest limiting factor for reaching the success you want in life is your own self-talk. You need to ‘Release the Brakes’ by changing your self-talk and getting out of your comfort zone. You limit your success by listening to negative self-talk that tells you can’t do something because either you haven’t done it before or because of the fear of failing. Everything that you enjoy doing and everything that you’re good at was something new that you tried for the first time at some point in your life. As we ‘mature’, we tend to set more limits on what we believe we can do, and we tend to get more comfortable with our current situation. If you’re not satisfied with any facet of your life, consider what’s holding you back and move forward with the courage to try a different approach. Also, replace the negative self-talk with positive affirmations of the future condition that you desire. Visualize that new future and use self-talk that speaks as if you are already living that new future, i.e. ‘I have a loving and mutually supportive relationship with my adult children!’. Release the Brakes and stop holding yourself back from the success you want in life.
