Do you ever wonder if the things you've always believed are actually true? Here are some examples of beliefs you might want to question...
  • "If I make THAT mistake, I'm unforgivable."
  • "I can get things done, but I'll never be one of the greats."
  • "I just don't have the right look."
  • "If I don't do it, it won't get done."
  • "You can't teach an old dog new tricks."
  • "My sister was the smart one. I just don't have that gift."
  • "I'll never be organized."
We absorb beliefs such as these early in life. They may even work well for us during childhood, but they are holding us back as adults. In coaching, we call them gremlins... the little voices that were given to us. They don't belong to us. There's a deeper voice within calling you to rise above these limiting beliefs and become the person you were born to be. Let's talk about how to silence the gremlins so that you can listen to and be guided by your true self.

That is so true. I use at least two of this old sayings and probably
let them govern my life, especially the last one!
