Limiting Beliefs

Theresa addresses a common pattern she's observed while working with her coaching clients on their personal growth journeys. She explores the experience of becoming more self-aware, which can initially feel uncomfortable and unsettling. As individuals begin to intentionally examine their beliefs, thoughts, stories, and unhelpful patterns, Theresa likens it to being at the bottom of the ocean – surrounded by awareness of the "sand" or limiting beliefs that have been clouding their perspectives. This newfound awareness can evoke feelings of sadness, loneliness, and discomfort, as clients confront the realization that their long-held beliefs and ways of thinking may not be serving them. Theresa validates these "icky" feelings as a natural part of the growth process, reminding listeners that it's okay to honor and sit with the discomfort that comes with increased self-awareness. She encourages them to approach this stage with self-compassion rather than self-criticism. However, Theresa also offers hope, explaining that this heightened awareness is a crucial step toward deconstructing limiting beliefs and intentionally choosing new, empowering thoughts and perspectives. She emphasizes that while healing and growth are non-linear processes, with ups and downs along the way, the ability to choose one's thoughts and feelings intentionally can ultimately lead to a more fulfilling and authentic life. Overall, this episode provides a reassuring and empathetic perspective on the sometimes challenging journey of self-discovery and personal growth, reminding listeners that the temporary discomfort of heightened awareness is a necessary step toward lasting positive change.
