Roadmap and Resources: Hello, great to have you with me. Welcome to overcome limiting beliefs. We're going to start with your course roadmap and resources. So what do we have coming up here? Firstly, going to look at the course overview and the benefits for you as a participant. Then going to look at the course goals. Follow that with the course project, which for breeder and I is a workbook, which is a real effective and important partner to the lessons. Going to tackle this right now. Why do we use presentation software? The reason is very simple. It's prior feedback from previous participants. They feel that the experience of the class of the course is much better with Breeder and I tucked away in the corner, allowing the participant to see the full screen, take screenshots whenever they want. And the feeling was, this is a much better learning experience. So that's why we use presentation software, simple as that. The lessons themselves that follow this short roadmap and resources are where do limiting beliefs come from, followed by the impact and identifying limiting beliefs. And then the closing lesson is challenging, releasing and replacing limiting beliefs. And then right at the very end, going to do a very quick summary and review. Okay, so let's look at limiting beliefs, identifying and overcoming mental barriers. What's in this for you? Well, this course is designed to help you recognize and dismantle the limiting beliefs that hold you back from achieving your full potential. We're going to explore the psychology behind these mental barriers, how they manifest in your life, and most importantly, provide you with practical techniques to overcome them. By the end of the course, you'll develop new empowering beliefs that support your growth and success in both your personal and professional life going to help you understand the nature of limiting beliefs, discover how limiting beliefs impact decision making and behavior, and also learn proven strategies to challenge and replace limiting beliefs. And finally, how to foster a mindset shift for longer term success. So what are the course goals? Firstly, want to help you identify your limiting beliefs. Understand how to recognize the subconscious patterns that hold you back. Challenge and reframe your negative thoughts, learn practical methods to question and replace those limiting beliefs with empowering ones. Want to help you build confidence in new beliefs. So develop the tools to strengthen positive beliefs that support your goals and ambitions. And then finally, want to help you implement mindset changes in daily life. Apply what you've learned to create lasting changes that promote growth and success. Now, I talked about the course project, which is a workbook. And this workbook really does follow the course section by section, slide by slide. So Breeder and I would normally say to you, have the workbook open as you go through the course and follow along with my voice and what's on the screen and make notes as you go. Now, some feedback is that that's too much, and people prefer to go through the course listening to me or breeder and watching what's on the screen, and then right at the end of each lesson, go back and run through the lesson again with more focus on the workbook. Whichever is the best method for yourself is what I would say to you. There's no right or wrong here. So if you feel more comfortable doing all three things at once, Fine. No problem. But if you prefer to go back over with the workbook separately, that's also very good, as well. It's whatever's best for you. At the end of the day, this course is about you getting the most out of it. So just bear that in mind. So looking at the course project, the workbook itself, the workbook offers practical exercises and reflection prompts to reinforce the key ideas from the course, helping you to internalize new empowering beliefs. It's also a bridge between knowledge and action. Moving from awareness to change is essential in most aspects of life. And this workbook guides you to apply the strategies learned in the course promoting real, lasting transformation. The workbook is also focused on personal growth. With targeted exercises, you'll track your progress, uncover areas for improvement, and set clear actionable goals that align with overcoming limiting beliefs. And finally, the workbook is there to help you identify and break through blockages. Quickly identify mental barriers that hold you back and follow clear practical steps to overcome them and continue progressing towards your goals. So that's it. That concludes your roadmap and resources to overcome limiting beliefs. Join me in well, join me when you're ready for the next lesson. 3. Where Do Limiting Beliefs Come From: Hello, and welcome back to Overcome limiting beliefs. This lesson is called Where do limiting Beliefs come from? So let's get right on with it. So let's start with a definition. It's always a great place to start. So let's have a definition of limiting beliefs. A limiting belief is a thought or state of mind that you believe is the absolute truth and stops you from doing certain things. These beliefs don't always have to be about yourself, either. They could be about how the world works, ideas, and how you interact with people. Okay, so what are limiting beliefs? Well, they're negative defeatist ideas that we have about ourselves that stop us from living our best and most authentic lives. They're barriers to success. They're automatic and ingrained doubts that can pop up at any time. And they pop up, especially when we put ourselves out there and truly going for what we deeply desire. So let's run through a few limiting beliefs. See if any of these resonate with you. And these are male and female limiting beliefs. I'll just run through got about a dozen here, I think, and see, as I say, see if any of these are things you're I suppose you could say guilty of. I can't quit my job because I just won't find anything else. I suck at relationships. And there isn't anyone out there for me. I'm not talented enough to follow and pursue my passions. I always screw up any great opportunity that comes my way. I would be more beautiful and desirable and liked a lot more if I were thinner. Everyone thinks that I'm awkward, clumsy and strange. And frankly, I don't blame them. I could never open my own business. I should never, ever question authority. Nobody wants to date me 'cause I'm divorced. It's too late to adopt a healthier lifestyle. All romantic relationships end in heartbreak. Okay, do any of those resonate with you? There's an example of about a dozen limiting beliefs on what they can sound like. So where do they come from? Well, limiting beliefs can often be formed in childhood. Yeah, everything can go back to your childhood and back to your early days in school. It's really amazing when you look at your conscious and subconscious mind. When you're a child, you must have heard the phrase, My goodness, that child, it's like a sponge takes on so much information. And if you go back to your early years, particularly when you're at school, your propensity to take absorb information and learn was huge. But at the same time as you're learning about facts and figures, history, geography, mathematics, whatever, at the same time, your conscious and subconscious mind is working away together. And then as you get older, social influence also plays its part. Social media judgments by others, we're all guilty of this at times, and it does help create we're limiting beliefs that we carry with us, does help create where they come from. Our desire to fit in, you know, it's the culture. It's what we're like. We like to be in a herd. Nobody wants to be outside the herd. We all like to be in the line of least resistance in most things that we do. But this is where limiting beliefs come from. And to be normal, to be part of everyday culture in the 80 20 rule, if you like, to be in that 80 20 rule to be one of the 80% means you take on things that may be you if you thought about it a bit more, you wouldn't actually be happy doing or saying or believing, but we do it to fit in. And then past failures, if you decide for once, many would say, for once, I went outside of the herd and I did this and it just didn't happen. That's it. I'm not doing it anymore. Past failures affect us mentally, quite a lot in life. So why do we hold onto our limiting beliefs? Well, ignorance is the first thing. Unless we actively seek out and identify our limiting beliefs. Many of us will go through life not realizing that our limiting beliefs are untrue. As a result, we hold onto them and enable our limiting beliefs without even realizing it. That's a huge thing. And it's a defense mechanism. Our subconscious uses limiting beliefs as a defense mechanism. If I don't believe it, I'll achieve it. And when I fail, I won't be upset. Probably all had those thoughts from time to time. And that's why we hold on to limiting beliefs. We don't like to break free. We don't like to go out of our comfort zones. We believe it's the wrong thing to do. A lot of this goes, as I said before, goes right back to childhood, early school. Parental influence is a huge one, as well. We take a lot on board when we're younger, and we carry it through automatically, a lot of us through life. So that concludes the lesson. Where do limiting beliefs come from. So let's go a bit further in the next lesson and take a deeper look into limiting beliefs. Join me when you're ready. 4. Impact and Identifying Limiting Beliefs: Hello there, and welcome back to overcome limiting beliefs. In the last lesson, we looked at, Where do limiting beliefs come from? In this lesson, we're going to move forward and look at the impact and identifying limiting beliefs. So let's start with the impact. Limiting beliefs they hinder personal growth. They affect self esteem and confidence. And they limit opportunities. All of these three, hindering personal growth, affecting self confidence and self esteem, limiting opportunities, all of these make us less likely to take on new challenges and pursue opportunities. What I want to do now is give you a practical lesson, something for you to do over the next few days. Now, I'm a great believer in journaling. When you write things down and you refer back to them, you can, over time, if you're journaling on a specific matter, start to notice patterns, trends. And that's what I want to try and create here with limiting beliefs. So carry round a notebook. Or make a note on your cell phone. You've got note sections in iPhones. You've got the same in Android devices as well. Every time you notice yourself thinking a limiting belief, write it down. Make a note of where you are, make a note of what you're doing in that precise moment in time. Don't judge, document them and move on. And the idea here is to note what your limiting beliefs are for repetition and when they rise, what triggers them? Then we'll get the patterns, the trend. So from the first lesson, don't forget limiting beliefs often start with the words or phrases I suck at. I can't. I'll never. I always. I should, I shouldn't. I'm incapable of I'm terrible at. Okay, they tend to start with those sorts of phrases or words. So when you hear yourself thinking that, Oh, if you say that, start writing them down, journal them. Let's see if we can create a trend. Let's see if there's a pattern. Let's see what the triggers are. Now, Breda and I often asked, What are the top five limiting beliefs that you get from your coaching sessions? Well, in no particular order, we decided these were the top five. So we'll run through them here, or rather, I will run through them here right now. So I'm not good enough. This often comes up. It's rooted in self doubt, and this belief makes people feel inadequate and unworthy of success. So many times in coaching lessons, I hear clients saying, Oh, I'm just not good enough for this, or it's just I just can't It's not me. I'm not good enough. Now the impact of this is it prevents you from pursuing opportunities or taking risks. And the solution to get round this is to just step back, practice a little bit of self compassion and focus on the achievements in the past to help you. The positive achievements maybe around a subject you're thinking I'm not good at. Look at the achievements you've had that have been successful, and from those, this will help you build confidence. I don't have enough time. I don't have enough money. I don't have the resources. I mean, this is an excuse that really, it's a limiting belief that creates a scarcity mindset. Now, mindset is big for me. It's what I focus on as a coach. So whenever I hear this as a limiting belief, all I'm thinking is, this is something. It's an excuse to give you a scarcity mindset. So it leads to procrastination or generally, just an avoidance of any challenges. What you have to do here is it's like an egg timer, turn it upside down the other way and look at it from another viewpoint. You shift yourself from a scarcity mindset to an abundant mindset. Focus on your resourcefulness and creative problem solving. Don't be thinking, Oh, I don't. I can't. I don't have enough time. I don't have enough money. Break everything down. I use the phrase all the time in these courses, break everything down into bite size chunks. You can't go from A to Z in one go. You have to take steps along the way. Maybe baby steps along the way, but you have to go from A to B, B to C, C to D to E to F, and so on and so on. You don't go A to Z in one step. Um, bite size chunks. If you move and look at things from a different angle, break it down into bite size chunks, you're not overwhelmed. And you'll find out, Well, maybe I do have enough time. Maybe I do have the resources to fulfill what I'm trying to do. Just take a different viewpoint. The third one, what if I fail? Now, fear of failure is massive in personal development. It stops everyone from taking action. And in personal development, no one knocks on your door and says, Hey, I've got the solution for you. This is what I'm going to help you do. I'm going to make you do this now, and it's EasyPs. No one's gonna knock on your door, okay? Let's get that absolutely crystal clear. You have to make the decision. You have to make the changes. You have to make the moves yourself. And failure and fear of failure is probably the biggest aspect in life that holds you back from doing things, fresh challenges, taking on projects, taking on tasks that are maybe away from your comfort zone. So Fear encourages you to stay in your comfort zone and you miss out on growth opportunities. You've really got to look at this. Again, it's the egg time eternity the other way up. Reframe failure as an opportunity and focus on incremental progress. You know, the bite sized chunks, A to B to C to D, blah, blah, blah, through to Z. Okay? I'm too old, too young to do this. Now, this really annoys me as you get older, these sort of things do annoy you, and this really annoys me 'cause age related stereotypes often lead to this belief, creating unnecessary limits. It prevents dreams or people entering new fields because they either believe they're too old or they're too young. You've got the solution for this is to look across the area that you're being held back on or you believe you can't move into. Look for stories of individuals who have achieved success regardless of age. So, sport is a good one for this. Two sports are very uppermost in my mind at the moment, where there are people participating right at the age limits, the full spectrum of ages. And the two examples I want to give is Formula one, where you've got Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton at one end of the spectrum, and down at the other end of the spectrum, you've got rookies coming into the sport like Franco Colapinto, you've got Oliver Burman, Kimmy Antonelli at the younger end. I mean, Kimmy Antonelli, I don't think was boom when Fernando Alonso started racing in Formula one. You know, but the sport will embrace all ages. And it's a limiting belief to believe, Well, I'm too old to do this or I'm too young to do this. I wouldn't like to be the person standing in front of Fernando Alonso or Lewis Hamilton, for that matter, telling them they're too old, okay? Number five, I don't deserve success. Now, this is rooted in guilt or low self esteem, and this belief sabotages efforts. And it causes a reluctance to claim achievement. And you've got to challenge the monkey chatter. You've got to embrace yourself worth through affirmations and therapy if needed. Go to come on to affirmations later on. End of the day, therapy, if you need it. There's so far you can go with personal development. And there is a time where maybe you have to go beyond personal development for medical help from medical specialists. Now, if you are depressed, through, I don't deserve success. If you really are in the deep area of depression, yes, you may need therapy. But a lot of self talk that's negative can be overcome, but you've got to work at it. Let's look at money and limiting beliefs. Let's just take three examples. Money is the root of all evil, what my parents often said that, I can remember them as if they were there in the room with me right now. And I remember my mother often saying the money is the root of all evil. But this belief can create guilt or discomfort around earning or desiring wealth, leading to self sabotage in financial matters. We like to put ourselves down. It's kind of like the way we're wired. We like to, you know, keep ourselves down in the herd all the time. And there are certain things that we do that just epitomize that. Money is the root of all evil is often rooted in cultural or religious teachings, and it's misinterpreted. It's like the fish that go away. It might have meant point A, 100 years ago, but now it's just gone beyond what it was originally meant to be. The solution is to reframe. Got to reframe money as a neutral tool. It can be used for good. It can help others, and it can help create a secure future for you and your family. So it's not necessarily the root of all evil. I'm not good with money. Now, this creates a mental block against learning financial skills or taking control of your fancies. Finances resulting in poor money management. It often stems from past mistakes or lack of a financial education. The solution here is to start small, bite size chunks, learn some basic financial skills, count your wins, like creating a budget or saving consistently. If you're creating a budget and working within your budgets, and it all comes out fine and dandy, or you're saving and or saving consistently, you can't say you're not good with money, can you? I don't think you can. A third one, there's never enough money. Now, this promotes a scarcity mindset and can lead to stress or financial decisions and the inability to recognize or attract opportunities. This again, can go right back to childhood experiences or cultural messages about scarcity. The solution here is to turn it around, be grateful, practice gratitude for what you currently have. Focus on abundance by identifying ways to increase income or reduce unnecessary expenses. So you know what your incomings are, you know what your outgoings are. If your outgoings are more than your incomings, what do you have to do? Challenge your outgoings, okay? So it's all there in front of you. You've just got to just sort of step back, look at the overview, and break everything down. Now, moving forward, as you become more comfortable and noticing the limiting beliefs that you have and you're documenting them, Start looking and observe others and write down your judgment of other people. And if you find yourself judging another person, note it down. And next to the judgment that you make, also note your emotions at that time. Why would I ask you to do this? Well, often, 99.999% of occasions, your judgment of other people will reveal your own limiting beliefs. Ask your closest friends, maybe family. Do you see me holding back from things? Do you ever notice me doubting myself? Find out about what and get an example. And without judgment, listen. Are the common themes and responses that you receive? Did you have an emotional response to the feedback that you were given? And finally, why do you think it is that you have that emotional response? So what I'm doing here is asking you to take your journaling to the next level. Add more journaling in. You're really going to build up a picture here, find out what it is that impacts you to have your limiting beliefs. Try and see if there's a trend. Look to see if there is a pattern evolving. Okay, so that's where I want to stop with impact and identifying limiting beliefs. Join me again for the next lesson when you're ready. 5. Challenging Releasing and Replacing Limiting Beliefs: Hello there, and welcome back. So let's move forward into challenging, releasing and replacing limiting beliefs. So let's start off with challenging. Once you've identified our limiting beliefs, we need to challenge them. We need to question and research their validity. We need to commit to taking decisive action towards releasing our limiting beliefs. We have to refrain negative thoughts into positive ones. And please note at this stage, limiting beliefs can't be eliminated by wishful thinking or by self deception. Your mind just won't accept that. It requires work and commitment to release your limiting beliefs. And in addition, we need to seek evidence that contradicts the beliefs that we have. So bear that in mind. So what are the benefits from challenging your limiting beliefs? Well, there's a lot of benefits for you. They unlock your potential because they remove the mental barriers and help you discover new opportunities. They boost your confidence, build belief in your abilities, and approach challenges with certainty. They improve decision making, making clearer goal line choices that are free from fear. They help you with increased resilience, help you overcome setbacks and view obstacles as just temporary things. They help you achieve fulfillment, the pursuant of goals one thought unattainable for greater life satisfaction. They help you foster growth. They help you embracing learning to step outside your comfort zone for personal development. They strengthen relationships, which cultivate healthier, more open connections with others. And challenging your limiting beliefs will help you reduce stress. Replace your negative thoughts with empowerment for mental peace. And finally, they help you take control, shape your own narrative to take control of your future. So let's look at some examples of replacement statements for releasing limiting beliefs. I'm not good enough to complete this work. Replace it with, I embrace challenges at work, and I'm 100% capable of doing whatever I put my mind to. I'm too young to be a manager. Well, think of it as an example. Replace it with I may not have as much experience, but I have a commitment to excellence. I don't have enough time to invest in myself. Well, replace that maybe I have the same amount of time as everyone else on the planet. I just need to stop focusing on the menial and focus on the stuff that creates impact. So you're turning a negative into a positive. I don't have enough experience for this career move. Replace this with this career move is gonna give me so much experience. I'm gonna crush it, something like that. I talked about affirmations in the previous lesson. So what are affirmations? Well, let's start with the definition. Affirmations are positive statements or declarations used to challenge or overcome negative thoughts, self doubt, or limiting beliefs. Repeated consistently, they help reinforce a positive mindset, build confidence, and align thoughts with goals or desired outcomes. So affirmations are things a lot of people believe in. I've used affirmations in the past, and I've used them first thing every morning when if I'm standing in front of the mirror, before I was growing the beard, I would have a shave, and I would say things over and over again, such as and here's an example of a few affirmations. I'm capable of achieving anything I set my mind to. Say it over and over again. It changes your mindset from one of, Well, maybe I'm not at my best to one where your confidence is higher. Your overall worth feels higher. How about I release all doubts and embrace my unlimited potential. If you're thinking, I can't move forward with this, this is too big for me. I need to just step back and let someone else do this. This is a way outside my comfort zone. Start using I really sold out and embrace my unlimited potential. Say it over and over again. I am worthy of success, happiness, and growth. These affirmations, they can have power. A lot of people believe in this, and they believe it can help frame you up from a negative mindset to a positive mindset. The mind is huge. Anything you can do to keep yourself in a positive growth mindset is worth doing. And these work different levels, different powers for different people. But if you've never used affirmations, they can be very powerful. And I'm just giving you five examples here. I choose to see opportunities instead of obstacles. This is one where there's a fear of failure. So instead of actually looking what is in front of you as an opportunity to grow, you're stepping back and saying, I don't want to do that because I'm probably going to fail, or I don't want to do that because I have a fear of failing. So start saying I choose to see opportunities instead of obstacles. Now, you can have your affirmations into several lines and have them written down on a card that you keep maybe in your purse or in your wallet. And every now and then, you just sit there and you repeat it over and over and over again. They can be very powerful for people. The mind is a wonderful thing, and affirmations can really work with your mind. The final example I've got here is every step I take brings me closer to my dreams. You just say it over and over again. You might just say it in the morning, you might say it two or three times a day. You might choose the same one to repeat. And I would say, use the same one to repeat over and over again. So it kind of becomes second nature. So affirmations are very powerful can be very powerful for certain people in releasing limiting beliefs. Now, let's look at your friendships and the people who you spend most of your time with. Do your friends allow their limitations to hold them back? Do your friends agree with your limiting beliefs? Do they empathize with them? Do they understand or feel simle about them? You can have these conversations. Surround yourself with people who are positive, chase hopes and dreams. So we're really looking at turning the glass half empty into the glass half full. If you surround yourself with people who are more positive with their viewpoints, they're not going to have as many negative thoughts. And if you're surrounding yourself with people who have a lot of negative thoughts, you're going to embrace their negative thoughts, and you're going to carry those negative thoughts, as well as the ones that they're teaching you to carry, as well. And you're going to be in a vicious circle like a hamster on a ring in a cage. If you surround yourself with positive people who have positive thoughts, and if you use affirmations as well to help you release and overcome limiting beliefs, you will find that you will make yourself a more confident, outgoing person raising and building your confidence and building your self esteem. So replacing limiting beliefs, I would say there comes a time when you've got to forgive yourself because guilt, shame, and self criticism are destructive. Forgiveness is a very powerful tool. If you can forgive yourself and say, Well, I was really crazy for believing I couldn't do this job, really crazy for believing I couldn't do this project. It's a very powerful thing to forgive yourself and move forward. Even if you find it unfamiliar and uncomfortable, practice your positive beliefs frequently, so you can use your affirmations here. Repeat them over and over again. Visualization. So affirmations and visualization, they really do work well together. If you visualize your success by repeating your affirmations until they basically annoy you, and then some more, after time, you start to believe them. So it changes you from glass maybe glass half empty to a glass half full person. It replaces the monkey chatter that's always going around in your head. Get to that out, and you start to be more positive, more constructive with what you're doing. And finally, write down your affirmations maybe on post it notes at home or at work, put them on your fridge, put them on the mirrors in the morning, shout them out every morning. Don't just revise them, write them down, as well. Writing down really does layer them in. Taking action is a big thing. A few slides ago, I had taking action in bold. It's all very well talking about change. It's all very well saying, Well, I do this because of that, and I want to change. I do this because of it's always been done this way, but I do want to change. It's all very well having those thoughts, but at the end of the day, if you can identify what the problems are and identify where you're letting yourself down, you've got to take action to move forward. So taking action is down to you, and you have to take action with replacing limiting beliefs. It's critical to success. Set goals, but make them realistic. Take small steps, use your bite size chunks. Count your wins along the way and have little rewards for yourself as you're hitting goalposts or mileposts, whatever you want to call them along the way. Set yourself little targets, goals towards a big goal. So break your goal down into bite size chunks, and maybe there's five aspects to achieve before you hit your final goal. For every level you achieve, give yourself a reward. And celebrating achievements helps build more confidence, and it reinforces the positive beliefs that you need to replace your limiting beliefs. All of this comes under taking action. Also, at the same time, you need to build a support system around you. So when I say you need to, surrounding yourself with positive influences is essential in overcoming limiting beliefs. So take more notice of the people around you who are more positive in their outlook. Surrounding yourself with positive influences really does help you overcome your limiting beliefs. Seek a mentorship relationship with a coach or whatever to help you keep on track, to help you with your goals and objectives that you have. Join support groups. Here, you know, you can share your experiences and gain encouragement from other people's stories. We all feed off each other as a race, and we want to feed on the positive things, not the negative. So a support group tends to have, particularly in this type of area, more positive people or people looking for a more positive outlook, you've got to start somewhere. So surround yourself with people who are looking to achieve what you're looking to achieve or maybe have already achieved what you're looking to achieve. So that concludes the lesson, challenging, releasing and replacing limiting beliefs, and that includes the course itself. So the next lesson is an overview. It's a summary to look at what we've talked about in the course and to set you up moving forward. So hopefully, I'll see you when you're ready for the summary and review. 6. Review and Closing Overcome Limiting Beliefs: Hello, and welcome back to Overcome limiting beliefs. We're now in the summary, the review, the closing lesson. So what do we have coming up here? Well, it is a summary. It is a review. We're going to overview the course, overview the course goals. Take a look back at the course summary and the workbook. Then some tips on moving forward with confidence and then look at the key takeaways for you and the next steps for you moving forward on your journey. So let's start with the course overview. So throughout this course, I've explored how limiting beliefs can hinder your progress and how to dismantle them to unlock your potential. You've learned to identify the mental barriers, change negative thought patterns, and replace them with empowering beliefs. Helped you recognize the nature of limiting beliefs and their impact on your life and to challenge negative thoughts and refrain them into empowering beliefs. So let's remember and review what the course goals were right from the very beginning. Firstly, the first goal was to identify your limiting beliefs, help you understand how to recognize the subconscious patterns that hold you back. Hopefully, if you're journaling, like I was suggesting, you've now seen a trend, got patterns that will help you identify the limiting beliefs that you hold. Then we wanted to challenge and reframe the negative thoughts that bring about these limiting beliefs. Went through practical methods to question and replace limiting beliefs with empowering ones. So, for example, you can use the affirmations that I talked about, or you can go into the specific top five examples of what limiting beliefs were, how they were framed up, and how to look at a positive solution to get rid of the monkey chatter and turn what was basically negative thoughts into positive ones. Mindset plays a huge part there. Want to help you develop the tools to strengthen positive beliefs that support your goals and ambitions. This is something you've got to work at. Nothing in life is just, you know, on day one, it all happens. It is bite size chunks. I refer to bite size chunks, quite a lot in courses. Everything you move in to rectify a negative to give you a positive, you have to go from A to B to C to D. You can't go from A to Z in one leap. And want to help you One of the goals was to help you apply what you've learned to create lasting changes that promote growth and success, and they're going to come back to that again in a few slides time. So let's look at the course summary and the workbook. So as we conclude this course, it's important to reflect, I think, on how the workbook has been instrumental. If you've used the workbook, you'll find it quite invaluable as a partner to the audio visual course that you've been through. There are lots of hands on activities and reflective exercises throughout the workbook, and this should have helped you.

So basically, everything that's new that you're taking on port is to get rid of the past, draw a line in the sand and start moving forward so that the transformation that you're making by moving from, let's say, a glass half empty person to a glass half full person, everything that you've learned, you need to integrate to make it long lasting so that the transformation is fixed. You're ready to apply these strategies that I've gone through and that the workbook shows you in your daily life to overcome the obstacles that you may have in front of you so that you can achieve your goals. So what are the key takeaways and the next steps? Well, basically, the key takeaways are the limiting beliefs are often subconscious thoughts, and they can be identified through self reflection. You take on these subconscious thoughts from early times, childhood, early school, parental influences, peer pressures as you grow up. And oftentimes you need to sit back, break them down from your journals, from your notes. And decide how you're going to move forward and shift the emphasis away. Challenge the negative thoughts is really crucial for fostering empowering beliefs. So when you have the monkey chatter, write it down, why do you have that monkey chatter? See if there's a pattern. Then you've got to break it down into bite size chunks to eliminate it and move forward with a more positive mindset. Mindset is everything with limiting beliefs. So what are the next steps? Well, using the workbook, continue to practice the strategies learned in the course as well and apply them in your daily life. Set specific goals to monitor your progress in overcoming your limiting beliefs. So diarize forward with what goals you have, and don't forget count your wins. As you go along, any wins that you have towards your goals, count them as a positive move forward. So that concludes this course.
