How limiting beliefs impact and interfere with success
Limiting beliefs are thoughts or attitudes that we may consciously or unconsciously hold onto that limit our partnership, our business and us. These beliefs often prevent our natural growth from moving more smoothly and progressively. We may not even be aware that such an idea is a belief, let alone a limiting belief. We just assimilate these ideas into our existence and it simply becomes the way we see the world and ourselves. These beliefs are usually intact by the time we are seven years old.
In order to be more aware of our subconscious thinking we have to know which beliefs are limiting our lives. Even if your life is good right now and your business is doing well, there is so much more that awaits you as you become more aware of your thinking.
This process can take hours or even weeks of reflection. Take your time and be curious to investigate your past. It provides information about attitudes and beliefs that you may or may not continue to hold today. Positive, as well as negative memories are equally as significant.
Here are some examples of limiting beliefs. Check the ones that resonate with you.

You are living much differently than you once imagined you would be.
IF ANY OF THESE RESONATED WITH YOU, TAKE HEART. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
Many couples have walked this path yet there is another way. We know the past pain of being in a less than passionate partnership.
Our relationship journey started in 1982 when we married. We thought we’d create a fabulous, supportive and unique union. We had good communication skills, were well-educated in complimentary careers and wanted something different than our parents’ marriages. What we created unwittingly for over a decade was an ordinary relationship with challenges, power struggles and frequent thoughts of leaving the marriage. Some of the same things we saw in our own families were being re-created in our marriage. We made some changes and things improved a little as we began creating a more conscious marriage.
YET WE BOTH KNEW IT COULD BE EVEN BETTER WITH MORE PASSION, MORE PURPOSE AND MORE FUN!
Things shifted dramatically when Valerie made some huge decisions and changes in her life spiritually, mentally and professionally.
She left a career as a social worker that she no longer loved and felt “stuck in” to become a coach/consultant. In the process, Valerie began examining her thinking about all aspects of her life, including their relationship.
Michael was also on a similar path in his own career as a psychotherapist. He began studying about stress and realized that he wanted to understand more about how the mind worked and more about self-healing. Michael started studying under Dr. Joe Dispenza and began a meditation practice that went much deeper than what he had done previously with Transcendental Meditation. He also continued to increase his knowledge and skills as a psychotherapist - taking advanced courses with top leaders in the relationship realm.
THIS CHANGED OUR MARRIAGE.
We made a decision to really look at what wasn’t working and got clear on what we wanted instead. As a result, we spent many years exploring individually and then as a couple, tweaking and releasing what no longer served or empowered our relationship. There were many times when one or both of us could have “thrown in the towel.” It was not always fun or easy. It was through this exploration and a mutual desire to co-create something much better, that we began to make sense of our differences, challenging many of our outdated, disempowering paradigms.
THINGS BEGAN TO IMPROVE AND CHANGE RAPIDLY ONCE WE WERE BOTH ON BOARD.
Through our own struggles and ultimate breakthroughs in our marriage, we have a passion and commitment to support couples in their journey. In making sense of their differences we know couples can experience greater personal and professional success.
WE SUPPORT COUPLES TO DEFINE THEIR INDIVIDUAL GOALS AND COMMON VISION SO THEY BUILD A STRONGER FOUNDATION.
In re-aligning differences and understanding that conflict can be the catalyst for growth, both personally and professionally, you can create a more empowered relationship. You can also have the business success you desire.
Without a structure of support couples often give up before fully exploring what they can do. They often resort back to habitual interaction patterns that cause greater separation and frustration.

STOP WISHING AND HOPING THINGS WILL BE BETTER MONTH AFTER MONTH, YEAR AFTER YEAR AND TAKE EFFECTIVE ACTION NOW!
THINK ABOUT THIS...
We don’t know how to have committed, intimate relationships any better than our parents did. If you were raised in an ordinary family, like we were, our parents did their best, as you and your partner are currently doing, however, it often missed the mark. There is a high likelihood that you learned behaviors that did not routinely promote growth and healthy intimacy.
That often is the problem, because generationally, things don’t change until someone strongly desires something different and is willing to do what it takes to get it.
People give up on their partner and themselves before fully exploring what would create a thriving and dynamic union. Sometimes they do not know where to turn to get help. Left on their own they often resort back to those habitual patterns and unspoken rules learned in their families. If they separate/divorce they often repeat this (sometimes multiple times) with their next partner(s).
If you are still reading this and know it's time to do something different this year - rather than continuing the insanity of doing the same thing again and hoping for a different result - then you have come to the right place.
