I have a fear...
We all play that same story in our head about why we can’t do this and why we can’t do that yet why?
Why you are not good enough?
The same old excuse you have been giving yourself 5 years ago?
Those limiting beliefs you tell yourself every day that STOP YOU FROM ACHIEVING YOUR DREAMS.
You ask yourself:
“Why can other people achieve faster than I can”
“Why are they more successful than I am”
“Why are they luckier than I am”
WHY? WHY? WHY?
Did you know the 3 most common things that constantly get in our way are FEAR, SHAME and GUILT.
See that inner voice that is creeping into your way and constantly telling you all these limiting beliefs? It’s just basically your OLD SELF trying to fight for life.
Sometimes we think those beliefs are true to us but is it really the TRUTH?
It’s crazy how we are constantly given chances and the choice to live the life we truly desire yet we are the only thing stopping ourselves and getting in our way.
In this Human Journey, we will always experience negative emotions since we are only human beings and it is completely ok. Most of the time we evolve and transform through pain and experience.
Today I would like to show you HOW you can snap out of those nasty moments whenever you feel the fear, shame and guilt.
- Take six Deep Breaths
This tip is based on advice from John Assaraf, a philanthropist, entrepreneur and business growth expert.
You take a deep breath in for 5 seconds, you blow out like you’re blowing out through a straw… and if you do this 5 seconds in and 5 seconds out, you’re going to deactivate the fear response centre and that actually is going to reactivate your thinking centre in your brain.
- Ask yourself this question
What Do I Truly Desire?
What Would I like to have instead/ What would I rather have?
Magic started to happen when you ask yourself quality questions. Interesting enough when you truly connect yourself. You know the ANSWER from within. Your inner self will guide you on WHAT YOU CAN DO TO ACHIEVE IT.
End of 2019 I wanted to overcome the biggest FEAR of my life.
THE FEAR OF HEIGHTS.
Ever since I was young, I had anxiety around it and indeed it was my BIGGEST FEAR (no kidding) In fact, my partner Thai also feared the same thing.
So, I put my intention out there and I came across this advertising online for rap jumping (where we literally walk down the side of a building).
Without thinking twice about it. I knew Thai and I must do it.
And imagine all those power I still haven’t untap because of this little bastard getting in our way..
So I thought, let's CONQUER it together (Knowing at the back of my head I was shxtting myself. And to make it even worse, Thai didn’t know what he got himself in to………)
Check out the video and see HOW WE WENT!!!
P.S: WE were so surprised on how well we have done. And how quickly we could shift our mindset once our INTENTION has been SET!!!
We felt unstoppable and FREE afterward.
It is indeed interesting, sometimes we tend to make things FAR WORSE than what it actually is…
So….. if this story has somehow inspired you to take some action toward some of your limiting beliefs.
Baby step it is :)
