Step Five From Sabotage to Success is to Stop Settling and Start Living. Some of us have learned that who we really are is “not good enough” or that being true to ourselves is “selfish.” Others put their own need for approval over their personal needs as a way to “fit in.” Sometimes we get stuck in patterns and belief systems that are limited by or based on our past experience.
Breaking out of your comfort zone means being willing to see all possibilities, not just those that support your existing belief system. If you keep doing the same things over and over you will always get the same results.
Just for fun, try changing the things you “always” do and the things you “never” do. Sit in a new seat, eat at a new restaurant, order something you’ve never had before.
Try changing your perception. Imitate the beliefs of someone you admire and see what happens. The positive payoff for breaking out of your comfort zone is that you just might get the job you want or the relationship you want but regardless of the outcome you will probably experience a boost in your self-esteem from walking through fear and trying something new.
Here are some affirmations to help you feel comfortable with new changes:
“Growing and changing is exciting, even if I have to look at some painful things inside me in order to do it. I invite the opportunity to break free from my limiting past”
“All my changes are easy to make. When one door closes, another door opens. I know I can become more of who I am.”
“I am willing to drop old concepts when they no longer work for me. I am willing to honestly look at the way I do things and say, ‘I don’t want to do that anymore.’ I am willing to change.”
“I am free from the limitations of the past. I am free to go forward.”
“I now choose to believe it is becoming easier for me to make changes.”
“I am willing to release the pattern within me that is creating this condition.”
“I transform fear and anxiety into excitement and enthusiasm, I look forward to charting new ground.”
In the book, From Sabotage to Success and the workshop series by the same name, you will get the tools and support you need to break free from old, outmoded, limiting mindsets so you can truly learn how to Stop Settling and Start Living. For more information, read details below.
