Beliefs

"Don't let worn out beliefs stop you from moving beyond yourself"

I've been thinking a lot about this quote today. What kind of "worn out beliefs" so I hold on to that keep me from progressing?
Once I took a few moments to reflect on it - I realized a big belief I have, deep down inside is "I can't". I can't lose weight, I can't exercise, I can't figure out my time management, I can't keep it together... I can't can't can't.
What would happen if I could turn all those can't around? What if, like Ms. Ex Yo-Yo Dieter
even if I didn't really believe totally, I could "fake it till I make it"? (GO read her post, it's really incredible). I think, if I could even just begin to turn SOME of those "can't" into "cans"... life could become... I don't know. Different, I guess. Better. Brighter.
The truth is, the only person telling me I "can't" - is me. Don't you hate it when you turn out to be your own worst enemy??
What kind of worn out beliefs are you still holding on to? Can you imagine your life if you could let them go and replace them with new, positive ideas? How would your life be different?

  1. This is me running last night: "You can't. You're too fat and slow to do this. See, it's hurting. Just stop. STOP! You can't finish."

    ... I told that girl to SHUT THE HELL UP! And kept running! I did that!

    You're right, it's SO easy to talk ourselves down from our capabilities. No more! Not for me! And not for you!
