Do you have reasons or excuses for not meeting your goals?It’s not uncommon to unwittingly stop ourselves by focusing on our fear or by sabotaging our own progress. Our next area of growth is the thing that scares us yet also excites us more than anything else!
Fear causes us to feel helpless, depressed, weak and sick. It is not the event that is causing all the trouble, but it is the fear of that event. Fear of failure can be avoided by not trying, but then we will gain nothing.
You need to develop the ability to act as if the things you want to accomplish in your life have already occurred. This reinforces both your conscious and your subconscious mind so that you begin to react to situations and attract those people who support your goal. Conversely, if you don’t believe or trust that you can and will make it happen, you will remain stuck with your old lifestyle. For some women, staying in their comfort zone while clinging to their fear of change is exactly what keeps them from growing.
See yourself finishing the race, landing the ideal job, being in the loving and commited relationship, receiving the diploma, holding that published book, getting on the airplane, or listening to the applause after your performance. See it in your mind and experience the emotions that go with it. Many a sporting event is played out in the athlete's mind before the game ever begins. You, too, can harness this power in your own life!
Our beliefs determine our experience. Thoughts like “I’ll never be happy” or “I can never win” will manifest themselves in our lives. We can tell our subconscious something we want it to believe, and it will absorb that new thought. No judgment — just acceptance. We have to do it over and over again, however, because our subconscious likes familiar stuff. After a while, our behavior changes.
If you’re constantly thinking, “I’m so stressed,” you will reinforce that belief. You have a choice; you can alter your perception of your world if you put new words into your subconscious, such as “I can handle it” or, even better, “I thrive on this!” Remember, misery is optional.
The first step is discovering what you normally say to yourself. Program your words using only the present tense. If your subconscious receives “I will be happy,” it assumes that this feeling will happen some time in the future. You can change your perception of a situation and your creative mind will help you think of ways to have your dream become a reality.
Dream big, develop faith, acquire the knowledge, and step into action, to get the results that you desire. See yourself achieving your goals and your mind will go to work to make it happen!

Great article. Catching on to the limiting thoughts and self-talk is critical. The ability to learn how to self observe is the first step. You show why. Thanks.
