5 Self Limiting Behaviours you have to Avoid

     1. 'Below the line thinking’: Below the line thinking refers to a particular mindset that shapes how you view the world in a limiting way. It leads to your believing that what's happening to you is outside your control and everyone else's fault.
Below the line thinking says, "It’s not fair what’s happening, and I don’t have what it takes to overcome these challenges. I didn’t expect this and I can’t handle It." above the line thinking, on the other hand, says, "I clearly can see the obstacles ahead, and I’m addressing them with open eyes. I’m accountable for my life and my career, and I have what it takes to navigate through this successfully. If I fail, ill still wake up tomorrow exactly who I am, and will have learned something critical."

       2. Mistaking wishful thinking for action: successful individuals pursue outcomes that flow organically from their current actions. Unsuccessful individuals attach to fantasies that may relieve them momentarily of their situational pain but have no basis of reality. It’s critical to take bold action toward your visions, in order to create success.

       3. Remaining powerless and speechless: stay in touch with your abilities and don’t be afraid to use and express yourself. Advocate and negotiate strongly for yourself and for others, and for what you care about, and don’t shy away from articulating just how they stand apart from the competition.
       
       4. Putting off investing in themselves: you'll get to see this behaviour over and over in those who feel thwarted and unsuccessful- they are incredibly reluctant to invest time, money and energy in themselves and their own growth. They feel guilt, shame and anxiety over claiming "I’m worth this." successful people don’t wait - they spend money, time and effort on their own growth because they know without doubt it will pay off- for themselves and everyone around them.

       5. Resisting change: don’t break yourself against what is or drown in the changing tides. Go with the flow. Follow the trends, and embrace them. Be flexible, fluid and nimble. React to what is in front of you and improvise deftly. Don’t stay stuck in the past or in what you 'expected', stop complaining about how life is not what it should be and why what is, feels so wrong instead of adapting.
