Dianne One of my mentors shares this quote from Carl Jung:
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will
direct your life and you will call it fate.” As I studied
the meaning of this quote, I realized it is so critical
to become aware of our inner world and discover the
hidden limiting beliefs we may hold.
CHALLENGING LIMITING BELIEFS
As a coach, I have learned to ask someone who shares a thought
about something they want to do but think they cannot and
The stories we let into our heart and heads they tell me the reasons why, I simply ask: “Is that really true?”
determine how we think. That simple question causes them to get out of that autopilot
What do your stories say? mode, even if momentarily, to really think about what they just
shared and why they believe it. It can often cause a real “aha”
moment to take place. This is exciting, because this is when a
breakthrough becomes possible and it can become possible for
you too! I also encourage my own friends to challenge me when
they hear me say something that they know to be outside of what
I believe about myself.
Here’s how to create a disruption in the cycle of thoughts that
feed our limiting beliefs that lead to the BS that we believe. 1)
Awareness is the first step to disrupt the power of the lies or
limiting beliefs we may be holding onto. Bringing these to the
surface gives truth an opportunity to shine on them and takes
them out of the safety of our internal world. 2) Challenge these
beliefs. Ask yourself: “Is that really true?” You will find that the
majority of our limiting beliefs are not reality based and are part
of a Bogus Story that has controlled us….up until now, that is!
You are now aware, have challenged it, and you have opened up
a space for the new story to reside! 3) Tell yourself the true story
of your life. Allow your dreams and passions to have the spot-
light and start making plans! 4) Dispose of the old Bogus Story
and let it go! You will find that you have so much to do that you
don’t have time for it anymore and you no longer need it!
Goodbye, Bogus Story! Disrupting that cycle is
accomplished!

for the past five years. The Blueprint
for Success workshop was a powerful
experience and I am so pleased that
I have this in my toolbox to help
clients work through this on a very
deep level. I encourage anyone to
take advantage of this if it is in an
area near you. Learning to control
