For me, this post reminded me of how many dreams I've totally ignored or pushed down because I thought they were "unrealistic" or "unproductive". It's only been in the last year or so -- with help from you and a few inspiring others -- that I've even recognized these impulses as dreams that are ACTIONABLE and WORTHY OF ATTENTION. So now, there's no stopping me..... :-) I love how you open people up to themselves, Leah.

I so needed to read this! I have had the worst 4 weeks of my entire life (I mean that.... like serious CRAPOLA) and have sort of lost my way and desires. I know I can do whatever I want, and I realize I keep holding myself back. I don't know why, but I do. I want to play big and be famous damnit!!! Oh Leah! I so needed to read this!

I know that there have been times in my past when I didn't even realize that I was telling myself a story. Taking a step back and realizing that YOU are the only thing holding you back can be powerful indeed! Love this post Leah!

Thanks for your comment. I find affirmations are helpful only if you can believe them. I find that I often have to help clients work their way up to the believing the possibility that they can have what they want.I call it collecting evidence.Some people need baby steps and some folks are ready to leap right in. The interesting about beliefs is that they are just thought that we make true. It could be an expereince that anchors it in, maybe it is something you heard over and over again from your family or society, or you say it to yourself so often it becomes the lens you perceive everything else through. Luckily beliefs and habits are one of the few things that we can control and change with some attention and focus, and affirmations often help with that. Rock on! Leah HI Dana!
