How to See Past What You Think Are Your Limits

Posted on by under Act as if Technique, Beliefs, Change, Linda Predovsky, Mind Body Spirit, Personal Growth

True or False?

When pushed, we often surprise ourselves by doing better than we thought we would.

True.

So why don’t we push ourselves harder knowing that the rewards will be worth it?

Plain and simple: most people don’t want to work that hard.

While it might sting a bit to hear those words, it’s good to acknowledge the truth because now you can do something about it!

Buckle up!

Here are 5 ACT AS IF tips that will help you open your eyes and see past what you think are your limits:

  1. Rewrite your present reality so it reflects YOU living the life you want.  Think about it then commit it to paper, preferably longhand. You need to be able to see what this looks like in black and white. Keeping it in your head means it’s still in the “maybe one day it will happen” phase.
  2. Imagine yourself living that life AND notice what actions you had to take to accomplish your goals.  Write those down. This is important.
  3. Decide what one thing you can do today that will make this story real and not just a fantasy.
  4. Cultivate the qualities within yourself that you will need to manifest your story.  As a writer, when I’m developing a character, determining the personality traits is key to the character successfully achieving his or her objective.  What characteristics will you need to achieve your goals?  Self-confidence, trust, diplomacy, independence, charisma?
  5. Establish your super-objective.  Why do you want what you want?  This is critical.  Knowing your super-objective will allow you to connect emotionally to your goal, which will make it easier for your to push through limiting beliefs.

BONUS TIPS

  • Concentrate as much as you can on YOU already living the life of your dreams.
  • Connect with that story emotionally.

If you can see yourself living it – you can see yourself doing the things necessary to achieve it!

All the best always xo
