  • EP 17: How to Break Your Belief Barrier

    EP 17: How to Break Your Belief Barrier
    Aug 9 2024

    In this episode, I delve into the power of belief and how it shapes our reality, thoughts, actions, and energy.

    Together we explore the concept of belief, highlighting how it influences our brain's plasticity and can physically change our brain structure. Drawing from personal experiences, I also share how beliefs can be shaped by our environment, experiences, and the people around us.

    As Henry Ford said, "whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right." This episode serves as a reminder to choose beliefs that propel us towards our best possible future and to believe in ourselves as we embark on this journey of growth and self-discovery. Let's challenge our beliefs wisely, take action on those that serve us, and meet ourselves at the intersection of belief and possibility.

    The Friday Five Questions We Consider Are:

    • What is one goal you truly believe you can achieve, and why?
    • How do your current beliefs support or your progress towards this goal?
    • How do your current beliefs hinder your progress towards this goal?
    • Think of a time in your past when your belief in yourself was challenged and how did you overcome this challenge?
    • What daily practices can you put into place today that you can use to reinforce more positive beliefs?

In this episode, Petra shares her personal journey with a challenging program called 75 Hard, where she had to make decisions on whether to compromise or start over. She discusses the importance of aligning our actions with our values and goals, and how sometimes compromising can be the best choice for our growth and progress. Here are three key takeaways from the episode: Compromise with Integrity: One of the main points discussed was the importance of compromising while still maintaining your integrity and values. It's essential to know when to adjust without completely giving up on your goals. By compromising a little but staying consistent with your values, you can continue on the path towards your best possible future. Trust Your Instincts: We also talk about the significance of trusting your instincts when faced with decisions about quitting, starting over, or compromising. Your intuition can guide you in making the right choices that align with your goals and well-being. It's crucial to listen to your gut feeling and make decisions that feel right for you. Regular Self-Assessment: Lastly, we emphasized the importance of regularly assessing your goals, progress, and emotional well-being. Reflecting on your habits, boundaries, and past experiences can help you make informed decisions about when to make compromises and when to stay firm. Setting milestones, seeking feedback, and trusting your instincts are key components of this self-assessment process. Questions to Ponder as you Walk: Which of your habits are non-negotiable?In which areas of your life are you a little more flexible?In your past where did you have to enforce boundaries around your habitsCan you identify the distractions or temptations that most often derail your self-discipline and your consistencyWhat daily routines or rituals have you established to build and maintain self-discipline? Remember, every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. Let's continue making choices that feed our hearts and lead us towards our best possible lives.
