I see it happen all the time.

It happens with my clients. It happens with clients of my colleagues. People come to us to get help and support and then find ways to sabotage their path – the very definition of playing small.

Now, to be fair, my clients come to me because they’re already stuck and want help to stop sabotaging themselves. So, I know I’m going to hit these walls with them. However, I see some resounding, repetitive ways that people play small, and I want to share 3 of these with you.

You may see yourself in one or more of these and it may make you uncomfortable. That’s good!

But, I’m not going to simply share these with you, I’m going to give you pointers on how to move yourself past them.

Hang tight, because here we go:

1. You surround yourself with people who crush your power.

I know, I know.

They’re your friends. They’re your family. They’re your life-long, soul-something…whatever.

But these soul sucking, dream zapping zombies (okay, was that too harsh?) are talking about the same old stuff, filled with negativity and drama. They don’t believe in your vision and everything that happens in their life is someone else’s fault…maybe even yours.

Be honest. Cross your heart and hope to die (ok, not really…but no crossing your fingers!) – do you honestly believe that none of their nonsense rubs off on you? None of it?

Of course it does!

Now, I’m not talking about completely cutting yourself off from your current friends and family, but you can certainly cut down on your interaction time with them.

More importantly, start building relationships with people that fill your soul, believe in you and see your vision even bigger than you do! Ahhh, you can feel your inner power building already just thinking about it…can’t you?!

2. Allowing your circumstances and pride prevent you from getting the help and support you need.

Be honest with yourself.

Do you feel fulfilled in your life? Have you reached the pinnacle of where you want to be? Because what I’ve found is that the most successful people in the world got help to get there and still get help now because there’s always an area of their life to work on. That means all of us (you, me, everyone) that wants to get the most out of life, needs help and support to get there. Why? Because left to our own devices, it’s harder to see the truth in ourselves.

But the real question is: So, are you getting it? Are you getting the help you need? Or do you tell yourself (just like I have in the past) that you can figure it out or that you don’t have the money, time, energy, etc to get the help and support you need?

You struggle. People struggle. But you don’t have to!

However, there is always something that you have to be willing to give up in order to gain something in your life. In college, you gave up time, money and sleep to get an education. What are you willing to let go of to get where you want in your personal life?

When are you ready to stop struggling and start doing? And don’t tell yourself that you can’t. Because you can. I’ve done it and I’ve seen countless others do the same. Stop telling yourself an old story that keeps you small and start telling yourself a new one. Find a way around your excuses.

3. When you get input on your life, you come up with reasons why you can’t change.

Really?

Okay. You need help. You asked for help. You paid for help. Then you aren’t committed to making the suggested changes?

Does that make sense?

If you TRULY want help and want your life to go differently, then you HAVE TO allow yourself to get uncomfortable. Be ready to face your fears. Be ready to be challenged.

Don’t accept what you think your limitations are…because they only exist in your mind.

You deserve your best effort in order to be your best!

It’s time to say YES to YOU!

It’s time to kick your “stuck” to the curb, face down your fears and light a fire in your life. It’s time to Reset Your Life.
