Three Self-Limiting Thoughts That Hold People Back
In Episode 2, Out of Small Things Podcast with Vienna Richards explores 3 self-limiting thoughts and ideas that can make even the most optimistic people stop and give up on their goals and dreams. They are:
Caring so much about the opinions of others, including people we've never met.
Who-Do-You-Think-You-Are syndrome. Also known as the Imposter syndrome.
Lacking confidence in our ability to achieve.
We look at the power of the mind and what we feed it. We also discuss the opportunities these thinking challenges provide to create a supportive, environment, network, community, and friendships that better support our minds, our hearts and our wellbeing.
