If you’ve been thinking about or working towards a positive career change, it might help to have a heads up on the top thought patterns that prevent people from making a concrete change.
These thoughts can act like tunes in our head, set to repeat, replaying over and over and causing doubt, procrastination and a sense of futility.
They encourage us to give in and assume its game over before we’ve made any significant strides in the direction of our desired career.
The good news is that these tunes are typically limiting beliefs, and on closer examination often show themselves for what they are – imagined rather than real fears conjured up by our mind in a well-meaning but misled bid to protect us.
So what are the tunes? The playlist goes something like this:
Category: I’m a lost cause
Top tunes:
Category: I’ll never make enough money
Top tunes:
Category: I’m not making enough progress
Top tunes:
If any of these tunes sound familiar, ask yourself one question:
Can you absolutely, 100% know that it’s true?
If deep down the answer is no, your mind is likely entertaining a limiting belief.
One way to prevent it from causing inaction is to challenge yourself to find proof points for the exact opposite tune.
For example, ‘I’m too old to make it happen’ becomes ‘I’m not too old to make it happen’, and you find proof points or ideas where that new tune could be true instead of the original.
The more you challenge your own mind’s fearful thinking on tunes that hold you back, the more likely you’ll be to make progress and activate the career you really want.
