I’m not a morning person. I’m not athletic. I work out daily. I can’t get everything done. We all identify as some type of person. This identity can really affect us when we try to make changes in our lives. Your limiting beliefs could be holding you back from your transformation in more ways than you know. 8 years ago I would never have worked out while on vacation, but now I am consistent about my workouts because I am a person who works out. I move my body every day. Are your limiting beliefs holding you back from achieving your goals?
So many people think that the results they achieve (or don’t achieve) have nothing to do with their limiting beliefs. But our limiting beliefs dictate how we think. They control the thoughts that we have. Your thoughts elicit feelings and create chemical reactions in your body. Your feelings then fuel your actions (or inactions). And your actions dictate your results. Then your results come around again and reinforce your beliefs. This is a cycle of beliefs - thoughts - feelings - actions - results. The results we see in our lives are because of the beliefs that we have. How have your limiting beliefs held you back from achieving the results you want in the past?

Have you ever overcome a big obstacle? How did you feel afterward? Once you overcome a limiting belief then you know that you can do great things. It gives you the confidence to strive for more. When Justin set out to become a bodybuilder he had a lot stacked against him. He didn’t have the genetics or physique to become successful. But he made the decision to do it and got it done. He didn’t waver. His success in this has led him to become successful in other areas. What are your successes?
