Is Your Past Holding You Back?

Our past is an important part of our history, it shapes who we are today, after all. But it can also hold us back from growing into the person we truly want to be, and living a life that’s calling us.

So many of us have dreams and set big goals, but our hang-ups from years ago can keep us from realizing them. Past disappointments, failures, or beliefs in ourselves can keep us stuck, telling us painful things like…

“You’ve never been organized, so what makes you think you can be organized now?”

“You’ve never succeeded at committing to a healthy lifestyle, so why would you be able to now?”

“Your relationships never work out, so what makes this one any different?”

If you have a hunch that your past is interfering with your bright future, double down on your belief in yourself by making an effort to silence your inner critic. When you hear that mean voice pop into your head, make the choice to shift your inner dialogue from one that doubts yourself to one that champions you. 

Remind yourself the past is over, and you’re capable of whatever you set your mind to. 

Wayne Dyer used to say, “You’ll see it when you believe it.” Believe in yourself like it’s your job so you can live the happy life you deserve.

What’s one thing you could do that would make this year stand out from the rest and make you feel like you took a big leap in your life?

These days, many of us are so pressed for time that we give ourselves few moments to do what actually excites us. But even if your day feels impossibly stuffed, you can make time for what really matters.

You Are Enough, Right Now

You Are Enough, Right Now

Some days you may feel like you’re not good enough, or doing enough. You may wish you could snap your fingers and turn into a version of yourself you think you should be with a perfect job, spotless house, and exciting hobbies (or whatever your definition of an ideal life may be).
