It&#8217;s actually four clear questions and then an action step for you to take. Okay, this is not from me, this is something that I have been learning about recently, it&#8217;s from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Byron-Katie\/e\/B001H6S8B4\/?tag=coachingreall-20\" target=\"_blank\">Byron Katie<\/a>\u00a0and it&#8217;s something that my coach <a href=\"http:\/\/Janicebastanicoaching.com\" target=\"_blank\">Janice Bastani<\/a> did with me, an exercise that we did together and I would like to share it with you right now.<\/p>\n<p>So here goes.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Identify It and Ask This Question<\/h3>\n<p>Take a pen and paper and write down that belief, whatever it is. Let&#8217;s say for example, you are working towards a holiday. &#8220;Oh, I can&#8217;t take a break.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The first question in that case is: <strong>Is that true?<\/strong> You are going to be tempted to say yes, it&#8217;s impossible to think of it in any other way. Just answer the question, is that true? Yes or no.<\/p>\n<h3>2. The Challenge<\/h3>\n<p>Here is the next question: <strong>Can I absolutely know it&#8217;s true?<\/strong> And chances are, there are very few things in life that are that clearly determined and really impossible. Because that&#8217;s what a lot of limiting beliefs will do, they are keeping it within a realm of possibility in your mind, from your perspective.<\/p>\n[offer-box href=&#8221;http:\/\/sostartover.com&#8221; linktext=&#8221;Reminder: Have you checked out my book?

Connecting to the Effect<\/h3>\n<p>Okay now I want to read this one because it&#8217;s a little bit of a longer question, but this is very important, pay attention to this. <strong>How do I react, what happens when I believe that thought?<\/strong> Write it down, be very specific about it.<\/p>\n<h3>4. A Peek at Possibility<\/h3>\n<p>And now here is the fourth question: <strong>Who would I be without this thought?<\/strong> That really changes things because you suddenly realize that it&#8217;s a thought and there is a possibility of a different thought.<\/p>\n[shareable cite=&#8221;Abe Stone&#8221;]When you realize that a limiting belief is just a thought, you suddenly realize there is a possibility of a different thought. [\/shareable]\n<h3>5. Ready to Believe, Your Choice<\/h3>\n<p>Okay now once you go through this exercise, you are in a new position, you are ready, your mind is opening up to another possibility. And what you need to do here is you need to <strong>take that belief, however you wrote it and just turn it around.<\/strong> Instead of &#8220;I can&#8217;t&#8221;, &#8220;I can&#8221;, &#8220;I am learning to do such and such, to handle things in a certain way, to have such and such.&#8221; And see your life change.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Okay, now I&#8217;m going to leave you with the quote for today:<\/p>\n[shareable cite=&#8221;Les Brown&#8221;]The only limits to the possibilities in your life tomorrow, are the buts you use today. #quote[\/shareable]\n<p>Okay, now here&#8217;s your affirmation, be sure you put it somewhere by your bed or on the mirror in the kitchen, somewhere you are going to see it first thing in the morning when you wake up and before you go to bed at night, say it three times every time you see it and really internalize it and make it a part of your emotions and feeling;<\/p>\n[shareable cite=&#8221;Abe Stone&#8221;]&#8221;Every day I release past limiting beliefs and practice positive new ones.\u201d<br \/>\n#affirmation[\/shareable]<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-fullwidth.fusion-builder-row-1 { overflow:visible; }<\/style><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hear you saying, &#8220;But I can&#8217;t have that (fill in the blank), because (fill in the excuse).&#8221; How about &#8220;I&#8217;m too _____ to ever be good at _____.&#8221; Some of these beliefs about yourself are a little less\u00a0logical\u00a0but just as limiting. &#8220;He never listens to me.&#8221; &#8220;She&#8217;s not will to do this or that [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3484,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[34,46],"tags":[81,93,68,56,8,110,49,247,64,25,67,42,140,48,26,14,47,55,50,15],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/coachingreallyworks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3482"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/coachingreallyworks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/coachingreallyworks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coachingreallyworks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coachingreallyworks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3482"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/coachingreallyworks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3482\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3664,"href":"https:\/\/coachingreallyworks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3482\/revisions\/3664"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coachingreallyworks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3484"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/coachingreallyworks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3482"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coachingreallyworks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3482"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coachingreallyworks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
