    E44: Overcoming Upper Limit Problems for Greater Abundance

    Overcoming Upper Limit Problems for Greater Abundance In this episode, Mona delves into the concept of 'Upper Limit Problems,' inspired by the book 'The Big Leap' by Gay Hendricks. She discusses how arguing against possibilities often means arguing for one's own limitations and how our nervous system's comfort zone can restrict growth and success. Through examples, including those from healthcare and education, Mona explores how unfamiliar ease or success can trigger self-sabotage. She identifies four hidden barriers: feeling fundamentally flawed, disloyalty and abandonment, believing success is a burden, and the crime of outshining. Mona provides actionable steps for recognizing and overcoming these barriers, promoting a gradual shift from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance. She ends with insightful questions to help listeners identify areas in their lives where they prefer danger or limitations, and how to start rewiring their nervous system for more success and fulfillment. 00:00 Introduction: Arguing for Limitations 00:15 Exploring Upper Limit Problems 02:12 Welcome and Book Overview 03:46 Understanding the Internal Thermostat 04:37 Real-Life Examples of Upper Limit Problems 08:17 Four Hidden Barriers to Success 14:36 Recognizing and Addressing Upper Limits 17:21 Moving from Excellence to Genius 18:32 Final Thoughts and Questions 20:47 Conclusion and Call to Action To to find out more about how I can help your workplace or work with me one on one, please see www.monatippets.com
