Removing limited beliefs and self doubt

Time to face elephant

We love getting topic suggestions! And this one from Libby was posted on our Facebook page

Hey guys I just have a small question that maybe could be addressed…. I know you have done podcasts in the past with regards to confidence in scary situations both personal and professional, but are there any tricks for removing limited beliefs and self doubt?? I understand that the switch needs to be made from negative to positive thought patterns, especially in scary situations which have to be addressed… I think it’s to do with self belief and I know the theory but I’m still struggling to ‘get there’ in terms of strong self confidence, which I think could be one of the things holding me back from my desires and goals….


Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or topic suggestions.


The Myth of Confidence

With just one week to go the festive period is already in full swing. Now is your change to blow everything that you’ve worked so hard for over the last year……..

Well of course that’s what everyone is saying to each other to justify the over eating, drinking, late nights and everything that comes with the holiday.

Now at ActionPodcast, we certainly don’t want you to think we are total kill-joys, but it would be great if you recognised that you do have a choice.

During this podcast Paul and Chris give some amazing tips that make it really easy to have a fantastic Christmas, without the repercussions.

Xmas Xcess 2

What creates adversity in one person’s life is not necessarily the same for another – yet when we are in adversity, the feelings of helplessness, grief and anger are universal. We feel like victims.

And adversity is one of those inevitables in life – each of us will experience unexpected things going wrong that seem to shake the foundations of our world from time to time.

It can be hard to see a clear way through when we feel so disempowered and stuck in adversity, but there is light at the end of the tunnel if we can find the tools to help us move through it.

WHAT IS BEING IN ADVERSITY?

We might feel like we are in adversity when something goes wrong that is outside of our control. An unexpected event or problem happens ‘to us’ that seems to come from an external source, rather than one we feel we have a choice about.

What causes us to feel in adversity can vary significantly from person to person, and the intensity of it can vary greatly too. Adversity can leave us feeling overwhelmed, distraught, or can actually feel like it has turned our world upside down and inside out – never to be the same again.

Whatever the cause, we can fall victim to the sense of helplessness the situation creates, and our grief and anger may make it hard to see that there could be a way forward – let alone that we might be able to respond in a way that could find a positive within all the pain.

As adversity usually strikes when we least expect it, and we will all experience it at different points in our lives, how can we find a way to move through it?

EMPOWERING BELIEFS

You may already have some beliefs that can help armour you against adversity. A saying that resonated with you in the past could help open a window for you to start reframing the challenge of your adversity.

Something like “What doesn’t break me makes me stronger” or “I am always bigger than any problem” or “There’s a reason for everything”… and whilst you may not have appreciated the importance of it originally, finding a belief that instinctively empowers you can start undoing the feeling of helplessness that has you trapped.

Starting to look for help is all it can take to begin turning the tide that feels against you.

MOVING THROUGH ADVERSITY

A solution may not always be immediately obvious or acceptable, but finding the strength to start searching for one can be half the battle in overcoming adversity.

In this podcast Chris and Sam share three questions that can help you fortify yourself and take a more empowered look at the adversity you are facing. Whilst you can’t make the challenge disappear, you can claim back control and find a way to move through it that will ultimately leave you stronger, better prepared to face adversity in the future and hopefully have left a positive gift in its wake too.

If you are struggling with adversity, you might also want to check out Sally’s website – Living With Heart – that takes a really honest and heartfelt look at overcoming and healing from life-altering adversity.

A big thanks to Henry for emailing us this great topic suggestion too!

Dealing with Adversity

Confidence is simply a belief that something is true. Our challenge in feeling self confident stems from the story we tell ourselves and the imagination we allow to run wild that allows doubt to creep into our minds.

Often we put off doing things until we feel super confident and until we feel we won’t be rejected or fail in our mission.

But as Chris and Gina discover, you can take action towards your desired end result NOW – and still get great results – without waiting till you’re perfect or a superhero!

Let us know in what area of your life you’d like to have more confidence and we’ll do a future show to give you practical tips and strategies we know will work. Leave us a comment here or on our Facebook page.

Celestine Prohecy

How often do you catch yourself thinking the same old thoughts—over and over and over again?
What most of us don’t realise is that our thoughts are creating our reality, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, week by week, year by year. You may feel like you’re at the whim of the economy, your boss, your upbringing, but it’s actually your beliefs that trigger thoughts and feelings. Most of which we’ve completely made up.
