What if limiting beliefs are not permanent?

Have you ever experienced any of these limitations when you wanted to move toward a goal?

Procrastination: "I have big dreams but I'm gonna watch Tiger King instead."

Discouragement: "My ideas are already taken and I can't do them as well as So-and-So."

Overwhelm: "I have too much to do!" or "I don't know where to start!"

One-more-training-itis: "I just need 3 more certifications then I'll be ready!"

Fear of failure: "What if I screw up?" "What if I'm not ready?"

Fix-yourself-itis: "As soon as I've overcome all my personal challenges, I'll be ready to help others."

Lack of clarity: "I know where I want to go but have no idea how to get there!"

A few years ago I quit my job as a hairstylist to start a full time hypnosis business. I kept it secret from most of my clients because I was afraid to mention the "H" word (hypnosis).

That bold move forced me out of my comfort zone. 

I knew I had to do scary things and get out of my comfort zone or else go back to doing hair. 

I have been through some crazy ups and downs since then. 

I was thinking about the lessons I've learned that have allowed me to build a thriving business and I realized that I'm a completely different person from who I was when I started on this journey. 

I never, in a million years, could've imagined what a rich adventure this would be. 

I realize I'm so much more brave and resilient and HAPPY than I realized. 

Neale Donald Walcsh said,

"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone."

Man, is this ever true!

I'm so grateful for all the times I've questioned myself...

...for the times I've worried about what others would think and done it anyway...

...for the times I've said, "Let's see what happens!" and hit "SEND" while my hands were shaking...

I've learned to stop taking myself so seriously. 

I've learned that I'm worthy of living a great life and having a blast. 

I've learned that the scary voice in my head that's always waiting for the other shoe to drop is just a habit.

And now, on this lovely morning, I'm wondering, "Will you join me on the other side of your comfort zone?"

What if you're far braver and more resilient than you realize? 

What if the magic you dream of is waiting for you on the other side?

Love,
