Hello Everyone, 

Unhappiness doesn’t come from lack of accomplishment, dissatisfaction in our romantic relationships, or even experiencing physical pain. Most unhappiness is caused by self-limitations that impact our intellect, emotions, and nervous system. Often, we were taught these limitations by a parent, an influential adult, or society. Some we taught ourselves. 

Some of these limitations look like: 

• Believing that past failures mean you will never succeed
• Measuring yourself against only one form of intelligence and believing you don’t have it
• Thinking you’re too much for others to accept you 
• Believing that anger is inherently dangerous and should be avoided 
• Not allowing yourself to feel sadness because you fear it may last forever
• Ignoring the fear you feel because you don’t want to feel incapable 

• Getting stuck in fight/flight/freeze and your anxiety level preventing your parasympathetic nervous system from fully relaxing
• Thinking that a highly upregulated nervous system can’t be fixed when all that may be required is a few weeks of targeted intervention  

Self-limitations can hold us back, but the great news is that they also present an incredible opportunity for growth and transformation. Throughout my coaching practice, I have identified 7 core self-limitations that impact all of us and hold us back from accomplishing what we want. In Master Class, we spend one week on each limitation and use solo, 1:1, and small group work to train ourselves to recognize and respond to them in a constructive way. 

If you want to experience how we address self-limitations in Master Class, join me for the free Q&A and rapid-fire coaching session on May 16th. I’d love to see you there. 

Big Love,

Joe
