Hey,
In the last two emails we talked about how limiting beliefs are really just habitual patterns of thinking.
We also talked about the first of the Four Horsemen of Limitation –– Indecision –– and how it creates a crippling waste of time.
And today in our 90 Day Win series, we're going to break down the Second Horseman of Limitation which personally plagued me for YEARS . . . . OVERWHELM.
And don't forget if you're REALLY serious about transforming your mindset and making 2020 the year that you level up your business, your mindset, and your life, there's still time to join us in March at The Powerful Living Experience Live.

Up until a few years ago, I spent most of my day in overwhelm.
The stress and the anxiety was paralyzing. Not only did it prevent me from making smart decisions in my business…
...it created a miserable experience of my business (and my life).
And the only way I was able to eliminate the experience of overwhelm was to see the unintelligent pattern of thinking silently hiding behind it.
That's what I want to share with you today.
Behind this thing we call overwhelm is a cluster of unconscious beliefs that say:
"I have to get it all done. I have to do it all by myself.
And if I don't get it all done, all by myself, in an impossible timeframe….
Then I will fail, it will fail, and I will be a failure."
This is the precise thinking that creates the experience of overwhelm for ALL Of US. We unconsciously believe some version of this when we feel overwhelmed.
With me so far?
Ok.
So if we look closely at all the many, many, MANY times we believed we absolutely needed something done and there wasn't enough time and that we were doomed to fail…
Something magical actually happened!
Most of the time we barely notice it. The feeling of Overwhelm is so dominating it is all we remember.
So let's look again. What happened?
Either...
- We really didn't really need to get it done on that timeline...
- Some other resources showed up to help us get it done on time...
- Some new information entered our awareness, and we realised that we didn't need to do the thing at all (that's both the funniest and most frustrating one for me).
In reality, I'll bet you can count on one hand how many times you truly "failed" because you had too much to do or didn't have enough time!
Life has a funny way of supporting us to make whatever we can get done a success.
Because Life is always working for you
(even when you think it's not).
Earlier this year, for example, I spoke on way fewer stages than I thought I would. My time just got filled up with other commitments.
And I began slipping into… OVERWHELM!
I depend on speaking to get my message out... How would I get enough people to The Powerful Living Experience? What if the ballroom is empty on March 13th? What if… I failed???!?!?!
It was right around here, in the middle of this negative thought loop that I got a call from Tom Bilyeu's producer…
If you don't know Tom he's a super successful billionaire entrepreneur who runs the most popular personal development podcast AND Youtube show called Impact Theory.
And THEY wanted to interview ME.
(Did I mention THE #1 Personal Development podcast and show on Youtube? )
