3 Limiting Beliefs Holding You Back from Your Life Purpose
Moving from a Scarcity to Abundance Mindset
Do you feel stuck when it comes to finding your purpose?
If so, it might be one of these common limiting beliefs holding you back from living the life you're meant to live. What do I mean by that?
This year has been particularly challenging, and it can feel like life is happening to us rather than we are stepping into the life we want. While I want to honor the very real obstacles many of us are facing in 2020, when I work with clients to help them discover their life purpose, I find that it’s the limiting beliefs within their control, and not the external hurdles life is throwing their direction, that most keep them from living a fulfilling life.
My dear friend Danika Brysha, a self care expert and professional model, recently invited me to take over her Instagram Stories to share with her community a pathway to break through the mental fog of 2020. Below I wanted to share these same thoughts with you in hopes that it might help you move from a scarcity to abundance mindset to embrace the life you’ve always wanted.
Do any of these limiting beliefs sounds like something you have said this year?
FIRST LIMITING BELIEF:
"It's impossible for me to know what makes me unique.”
Maybe you feel like a dynamic life purpose is only reserved for someone else.
WHAT’S TRUE:
Your purpose is knowable.
It lies at the intersection of your talents, heart and influence. You don’t have to be a big influencer to have a special life purpose. I’ve worked with all kinds of clients helping them discover their life purpose—stay at home moms, entrepreneurs, corporate executives and non-profit leaders. Everyone has something that makes them unique. We want to find what that is for you. here are some of my favorite life purpose statements from some of my past clients:

SECOND LIMITING BELIEF:
“My life purpose is on hold because of 2020.”
I know it has been a rough year and life may not have panned out the way you hoped. The hardships of this year have left you beaten down, derailed, and distracted.
WHAT’S TRUE:
Life starts now.
Surprise…you’re in it. You are not on hold. You are not in a waiting game. Your purpose isn't delayed because 2020 made a left turn. Your purpose is ready and willing to be activated right now. You just have to get rid of the daily distractions that are keeping you from your purpose.
If you don’t know where to start, DM me on Instagram with the phrase “where do I start” and I'll share an action step you can take right now to move closer to your purpose.

THIRD LIMITING BELIEF:
“Figuring out my purpose is too overwhelming and I can't handle one more thing.”
I get it. 2020 has been bananas. You're emotionally spent and think self-discovery will take a lot of time and energy.
WHAT’S TRUE:
You are made for such a time as this.
You have everything you need to step into who you’re meant to be.
I believe that about you and I want to help you. One thing Danika Brysha often says about self-care is that taking one small step can breed huge results. Figuring our your life purpose is an act of self-care. One step goes a long way. So take the first step today.
