Are You Resistant to Change?

Our bodies like equilibrium … which is a fancy way of saying “same old, same old.”

If we’re stuck on a number on the scale, our bodies seem to like that. 

If we’re stuck on a strength number in the gym – a 135-pound bench press, for example – our bodies seem to thrive in that state of inertia.

Our bodies seem to dislike change.

Why is that?

It has nothing to do with our bodies.

It has everything to do with our brains … and more specifically, our beliefs.

Have you ever noticed that every time your income or bank account gets to a certain level that exceeds what you believed you were capable of, it magically recedes? A boiler breaks … roof needs to be fixed … basement floods …

Have you ever noticed that every time the number on the scale dips below the level you thought you were capable of, it magically jumps a few pounds above that?

Have you ever hit a plateau in the gym – unable to get past a certain benchmark for a certain exercise?

Each one of these examples is 100% tied to your beliefs.

Maxwell Maltz once said, “A person’s level of success can never rise above the one visualized internally.”

Think about that … re-read it if you need to.

“A person’s level of success can never rise above the one visualized internally.”

In other words, once you set the bar, it never moves … but you do.

Can you think of one way you’ve been holding yourself back with limiting beliefs like these? Reply back and let me know … I’d love to help you talk through them and see if I can help you break through those barriers.
