If you're anything like me (which I know you are). You have big dreams for your life, you want a business, a job, a life that excites you and you know you are on this planet to do more. You aren't entirely sure why you feel stuck AF, but you do. 

You are talented. You are gifted. But you can't seem to figure out why you aren't moving forward at the pace you desire to.

So let's dive into my honest list of 11 things that kept me stuck AF last year and are potentially keeping you stuck too!

11 Things Keeping You Stuck AF & Not Making Money

1. I didn't know how to market SOLUTIONS to potential clients.

2. I felt like I had to prove myself to strangers on the internet instead of SHOW people HOW I could help them.

3. I wasn't allowing my business to be ALIGNED with who I really wanted to help (because it was SCARY AF)

4. I was doing #allthethings others were telling me to do (ohhhh Voxer coaching...every coach does that, therefore I MUST do that too)

5. Money blocks//money fears

6. I was being SUPER hard on myself without even realizing it

7. Comparing my progress with strangers on the Internet

8. Not having proper boundaries in place in my life

9. Thinking I had to overcome my fears instead of simply letting my fears be there, be a HUMAN, and still do the damn thing fears and all

10. Not having the right support in my business and life to ask me hard questions while also supporting the F outta me

and probably the BIGGEST thing that stood in my way...

11. Giving away my power over and over again by thinking there was a secret I didn't know. 

I had ALWAYS been successful in my life and literally never doubted my success. Literally something in me has always believed I can do absolutely anything and everything I set my mind to. Not entirely sure why the online space felt different to me, but it did. 

I was giving away my power, doubting myself, looking to others that hadn't actually built success in a way that felt good to me, and I was STUCK AF. 

What do you relate to? Where are you keeping yourself stuck AF?

Want some help getting out of your own way and stepping fully into YOUR confidence and power? Because you already know enough. You're already good enough. You might just need a mirror to help you and I'd love nothing more than to support you.

Do you struggle with feeling like you aren't good enough? That you aren't doing enough, being enough? Simply aren't enough? When these thoughts keep coming up, it's time to start reworking our beliefs so that these limiting beliefs don't keep getting in the way from you taking action to build the life of your dreams.

Step #1: Develop a journaling practice.

The first step toward recognizing any and all limiting beliefs is to acknowledge that you have them in the first place. When you admit something is limiting you, you can then change it.

Open up your journal and get super honest with yourself.

What do you feel like is holding you back from the life you actually want? Is it because you don't have enough time, money, resources, etc? Do you not like the way your body looks in that swimsuit? It is because you don't feel ready?

Open that journal up and get ridiculously honest with yourself about your life and what you actually want in the first place.  Once you acknowledge what you want, we can discover what you feel is in the way from where you are now and what you want.

Step #2: Rewrite your old stories.

The choice is always up to you (even when it doesn't feel like it) to rewrite those limiting stories. You get to choose if you want to embrace a growth mindset or have a fixed mindset.

If you choose to have a growth mindset, you'll understand that you always get to embrace learning and opportunities that come your way. 

Whenever you are working to overcome your limiting beliefs, you have to shift to a growth mindset. You need to create new thoughts and beliefs (simply a thought you keep on thinking over and over again) in order to shift and change your old patterns. 

Rewriting your stories requires you to take 100% responsibility for your life.

You can change at any point and you get to be the one to take control of your story in order to do so. 

In order to change your beliefs and your stories, it is critical to take an honest look at your thought patterns and create a different mindset.

Paying attention to the thoughts we are thinking and realizing that we can shift and change them is such a powerful practice.

You can begin by trying on positive and encouraging affirmations that embody the new mindset you are working to embrace.

Step #3: Take inspired action NOW.

Generally, this will come naturally. Once you start thinking better thoughts and therefore feeling better, you are much more likely to take inspired action out of this place.

You will feel like taking the action because your feeling much better.

It definitely can feel counterintuitive at times to start with our thoughts and our minds, but the truth is that changing our limiting beliefs and our lives truly begins with our thoughts.

Thoughts truly become things.

I honestly thought it was all so "woo-woo" and "out there" for years but the truth is that what you focus on expands. It all begins in your mind. You get to choose what you are going to focus on and therefore what will expand in your life.

If you focus on all the things you don't have, changes are extremely good more of the things you don't want will continue to show up in your life.

But if instead, you begin to shift your thoughts, think about better things and focus on all the things you have to be grateful for and what you are calling into your life, more and more good will inevitably show up. 

Overcoming limiting beliefs is absolutely a process. It will take more than a day or a week to overcome something you have been struggling with for years. But, it doesn't have to take a long time either. Again, we get to choose if we are going to shift our beliefs quickly or not.

Know that you are completely worthy. You are enough and that everything you desire is more than possible for you.
