Adult Development
Destroy Limiting Decisions

Did you make a limiting decision as you were growing up? Maybe one that said you couldn’t do something that basically everyone else could do, but you decided you were too short, too tall, too rich, too poor, too fat, too skinny, too cute, too ugly, etc.

Well, you’ve grown up and you’ve definitely changed since then, but you still seem to *think* that way.

Maybe you are still too tall or whatever, and aren’t able to change that fact, but you *can* change the way you think about it. You can take that limiting decision and change it so you don’t *feel* that way, and most of all so you don’t react negatively to it.

Here’s what you do. Sit down and relax. Imagine floating up above your head. Are you there yet? OK. Now, turn around and go back in time to the time you made that limiting decision. Be in that time as you notice the emotions present. Pretty intense, aren’t they? What was everyone around you doing, saying?

Now, visualize yourself backing out of the event, just slowly backing out, and then turning around and looking forward toward the future. What do you notice most? Have the emotions disappeared? Isn’t that terrific?

Now, come back to the present and go about your life. See if that limiting decision, itself, has disappeared.
