I can't drive in the rain....
That is a limiting belief I have carried for many years.
When I started driving, I had 2 car wrecks in a short period of time. Both wrecks occurred while driving in the rain.
For years, I believed that because I had 2 wrecks in the rain, I was not a good driver in the rain.
I allowed those limiting beliefs to hold onto me for 20+ years.
Reality is over time, I grew up, gained more skills and knowledge that allowed me to be a better driver...even in the rain.
But I let those pesky thoughts keep me from seeing my truth.
Today, I drove in heavy rain and fog for over 100 miles.
I wasn't anxious like I used to be. And that is when it occurred to me that when it rains, I let my mind tell me, I am not a good driver in the rain. But it is giving me outdated information.
Yes, in my first year or two of driving I had 2 wrecks in the rain. But in the last 23 years, I have had zero wrecks in the rain.
The truth is I have become a better driver and as much driving in the rain isn't my favorite thing, I can do it.
This is a story about how one limiting belief has played over and over in my mind for years. Something as simple as driving in the rain.
Can you even imagine the limiting beliefs that you are carrying around with you based off out of date information?
Take a minute and think of a belief you choose to challenge.
Then ask yourself is this the truth all the time. I can't wait for you to see the new possibilities available to you.
