Listen "4. Reinventing Yourself: Let Go of the Old, the Unhelpful, and the Untrue"

Episode Synopsis

If we want to achieve big goals, what’s the very first thing we should do? 
Hint: it’s actually NOT setting goals.

In this episode, I share my take on “reinventing yourself” and why it’s a prerequisite for making big shifts in life.
You’ll learn which “old stories” no longer apply to you, what beliefs can freely shed, and what aspects of your identity were actually created by other people (and not you). 
It can be fun and exhilarating to knock down the “protective” walls around your true essence, the hidden parts that yearn to shine and do amazing things!

Plus: Why is it SO hard to make big life changes, and what can make it easier and smoother?

BONUS (after listening to the episode):
Journal prompts for de-conditioning, reinventing yourself, and letting go of old beliefs (do the ones that grab your attention):

What’s something you love, but don’t get to do/enjoy often? 
What were you told or taught by your parents/family growing up, that you don’t agree with? If you were your own parent, what would you have said/done differently?
What did you hear from your peers or friends in school that made you feel small or “lesser than” them?
What was “expected” of you growing up? 
What do you expect of yourself now? What are your “high standards” for yourself now?
What’s something that other people consider normal, expected, or desirable, that you don’t want at all? (Such as designer clothes, social drinking, owning a house, having kids, etc.)
What would you say is “true about the world?” What’s reality like, according to you? Write out any statements that come to mind (such as: “life is full of struggle,” or “money is hard to come by,” or “people are inherently untrustworthy” - or the opposites of these, whatever you see as the truth!) Now, identify and cross out the beliefs that you don’t like. Know, in your heart, that you can change these “truths” to be something different and better.
What outdated beliefs no longer serve your highest good? 
What phrases or thoughts often cross your mind, but have the effect of holding you back?
