What’s Holding You Back?
A couple of years ago I wrote about strategies for actually accomplishing the goals we set for ourselves at the beginning of the year. It’s that time again, and you can read that article by going back to the January 2005 issue of The Practice Manager or you can view it on my website. If you implemented those ideas, I know you made a lot of progress. If you didn’t make progress or didn’t implement any strategy to achieve your goals, then some hidden factors may be influencing you.
Limiting Beliefs Hold Us Back
When we get stuck and just can’t seem to do what we know we should do, that’s a sign that we have some limiting beliefs holding us back. When I catch myself saying “I have to” or “I can’t” unless someone has a gun to my head, the truth is more likely that I am choosing that result because of a limiting belief I hold. When I see only two conflicting and equally unappealing options, I’m stuck in either/or thinking. In reality there are probably many other options, but they are not apparent to me at that moment because limiting beliefs have hooked me again. When I use hyperbole and words like “always” or “never” I might as well start looking for the underlying limiting belief.
