How To Reframe Self Development And Overcome Your Blocks

All too often we may outsource our path to a cookie-cutter approach set out by a person, group or tradition that doesn't know us. The personalized path begins by examining our our beliefs and being able to verify our beliefs with facts and truths of how we have been consistent with them in the past.

It is too easy to just fabricate a story that keeps us safe and feeling comfortable with the known. In this lesson, we go into the basics of asking about the various types of mental distortions that can occur when looking for evidence. It is important that we approach this with curiosity and not judgement of ourselves.

We have learned and internalized the idea of binary thinking. We either "have" or "don't have" something. We "are" or "aren't" something. This can be somewhat paralyzing to our future attempts at changing our identity. What some may call a "fixed mindset". It is important to rather shift the understanding (as you will hear in this lesson") to a growth mindset and be able to change the framing. This increases our ability to feel active in our lives and that we have control.

Personal development lacks this one thing. And it is huge! Most goals and action steps in the self-improvement space are all the same. For this reason, it is not uncommon to find people who are perpetually in the self-help space who have not grown or developed other than made some strange friends or have picked up some strange hobbies. This is all fine, but if we are paying a lot of money and not getting the result we want, the question remains "How do we fix this problem?". Listen and find out!
