There are certain thought processes and beliefs that we have that are negative about ourselves. These Self-Limiting Beliefs may seem innocent enough, but your subconscious only hears them as limitations on what you can achieve.

A few self-limiting beliefs are:

• I’m not smart enough
• I’m too old, too young, too fat, too out of shape, etc.
• I could never do that.
• I don’t have the confidence to do that.
• I don’t have what it takes to succeed.
• I’m terrible at managing my time, money, etc.
• Taking risks always turns out bad for me.
• I’m comfortable doing what I’m doing right now.
• Successful people are just lucky.
• I deserve better.
• I’m a slow learner.
• I don’t like to read.
• My partner isn’t supportive enough.

Anytime we make a declaration of a limitation like the ones above, they hold us back and lock us into a place where we can’t grow. So many times, I ask people I’m coaching about the books they read and then make some suggestions on books they should read. I would say 8 out of 10 times they come back and let me know that they don’t like to read.

It doesn’t matter if you like to read or not! Will it make you more successful? Yes! So, do it!

Another great example is when people tell me that they are horrible at remembering names. I ask them if they could remember the next 10 people that they meet if I give them $100 for each person. Of course, they would remember it then. Well, what changed? See the person could have remembered names all along, but it just wasn’t important enough to them.

And that is a fantastic way of summarizing self-limiting beliefs. They are excuses that we tell ourselves so we don’t feel bad. “Sure, I could make more money, have a more successful career, and an amazing relationship, but I’m already happy with my life.”

It feels like communication in your life should be a very easy concept to understand. In fact, what can be more straightforward than using words to express yourself? Unfortunately, the words and phrases we use often time have a hidden negativity to them. These phrases do very little to motivate you, and even though they may be used as jokes or statements of fact, they do more damage than good.

The secret to changing things around is to rephrase the phrases that you use every day to empower you, instead of disempowering you. Here are a few examples that we try to hold each other accountable for all the time in the studio:

“I can’t do that” >>> “I haven’t done that yet”

“I have to” >>> “I get to” or “I choose to”

“I’ve been busy” à I’ve been productive

That last one is an interesting one because it has become the default answer that we all give when asked how we have been. But by telling someone that you are busy, all that does is let them know that you don’t know how to manage time. If it takes you 8 hours to do something and takes someone else only 6 hours to do the same work, well now you can see what we mean.

Phrases that empower you don’t necessarily come without success. The starting point is to have a positive attitude.

Imagine it’s a 6 AM on Christmas Day, you just woke up rubbing your eyes rushing down the stairs to gather around the Christmas tree to open your gifts. Man, isn’t that exciting! You have dozens of great gifts that you can’t wait to open. You eye on that one specific big box with your name on it hoping it’s that gaming console you have been wanting for months. Only to find out after you open it that it’s just shoes. You can feel that disappointment when you don’t get what you were expecting and in some cases be upset, but in the end, you do as your parents thought you and you say thank you and you move on, but do you really move on?

In some cases, people in these situations start resenting that other person. In this episode, Rohit and Kyle dig deeper into the meaning of gifting. They describe gifting as willing to let go or sacrifice for others. This would lead to not having expectations, because the more we expect from someone, more our standard get which they have to meet and if they don’t then you start having resentment towards them.

Then they lead into how do you know if it’s genuine or not? Gifts can be seen as 2 ways: a reflection of how you see other person based on what gift you give them and reflection of how you see other person seeing you when you receive that gift. Does your view or perception change based on what you get?

Have you wondered why we procrastinate? Of course, you do! You have been doing it your entire life! It sounds salty, but it’s the truth. Everyone procrastinates and there’s a part of it that it’s not your fault. It’s just human nature and in reality, we tend to procrastinate simple tasks in our day to day life which leads to a bigger question: where else are you breaking your commitment?

Why do we do it? Is it because of our purpose in life? It sounds insane, but if you think about it it’s really not, right? In today’s episode, Kyle and Rohit explain how every day we have little tasks that we do. We have goals and life tasks that we create for ourselves which we tend to try to achieve, but what if there weren’t any more tasks. What would you do then? Would you have a purpose in life?

One of the idea that we explored was whether procrastination is tied to external or internal commitment. You tend to keep other people commitment, but not yours. If you dream of traveling by yourself to a specific place, but you never do it. You keep procrastinating on finding places to visit or booking a flight, but at the same time if your best friend from high school is having a reunion 5 states away then you would do anything to make that.

So now as time passes by you keep delaying your lifelong dream of traveling to one the seven wonders of the world and next thing you know, it’s 20 years later and you are too old to go enjoy the way you had envisioned. In the end, you lose your lifelong dream, because you procrastinated too long. Not only you procrastinate on your lifelong dreams, you are now also fulfilling other people’s dreams. In today’s world, we are used to working for other people and not on our dreams so the longer we do that, the longer we make other people money and fulfill their dreams.

The only question we should ask ourselves is: why are you making your dreams less important and not getting you SHIT together?

We often talk about important events in our life as a child and how parents protect us and help shape our future, but we also forget to do the same for ourselves when we are grown up. Why is that? Are these moments not important to us? I believe it’s because we get caught up in our day to day life that we don’t have control over it anymore. Then when we look back, we realized our mistakes and define the moments where we could have improved on ourselves.

Defining key moments in life is one of the crucial parts of life because these are the moments that make you who you are today. These are the moments in your life, it could be a split sec or hours long, that has defined you and shaped you into a human being that you are today.
