Limiting Beliefs: Removing Mindset Barriers

The Writers’ Co-op

We're back, this time digging into limiting beliefs. These are beliefs that get in the way of you achieving what you want to achieve; usually, they come from people other than ourselves. They can be stereotype-based ("starving artists don't make money!"), fear-based ("there's not enough work out there for all of us") and can come from our upbringing or culture (ie: freelancing isn't a "real" job).

We all live with dozens of limiting beliefs, but when they start to get in the way of our goals it can be frustrating. This episode is focused on practical tools and questions you can ask to get yourself out of a limiting belief's grasp. How? By looking for evidence to support and challenge the belief, just like how we, as curious writers, address much of our work. You can challenge yourself in this way while journaling, in conversation with a friend, or in a coaching relationship. It’s a powerful process, and we’ll walk you through it in today’s episode.

Patreon listeners get access to episodes two weeks early this season, plus they'll get a list of questions to ask when you encounter limiting beliefs. Join now: https://www.patreon.com/twcpod
