Monday Motivation: Are You Limiting Your Own Potential?

Freedom is a central theme in today’s Monday Motivation, as we explore how our own self-imposed limitations often hold us back from reaching our true potential.

It’s essential to recognise that true freedom starts from within, and it’s up to each of us to define what freedom means personally.

Many of us may feel constrained by external factors, but the reality is that the most formidable barriers are often those we create in our minds.

Throughout this episode, we’ll challenge you to examine where you might be limiting your expansiveness and how breaking free from these constraints can lead to a more fulfilling life and business.

Join me as we dive into the importance of identifying and overcoming these limitations, and discover the empowering journey toward realizing your full potential. Heather

The Details:

The exploration of freedom takes centre stage in this week’s Monday Motivation, as Heather articulates the profound impact of self-imposed limitations on our lives.

The episode begins with a candid reflection on how personal definitions of freedom vary widely. For some, it may be the pursuit of financial independence, while for others, it could be about cherishing time with family. Importantly, Heather emphasises that the most significant barriers we face are often mental constructs that we create ourselves.

This insight serves as a springboard for listeners to examine their own lives and recognise areas where they may be inadvertently holding themselves back.

Themes:

A recurring theme is the idea that our internal dialogue can be more debilitating than external challenges.

Heather challenges listeners to confront the narratives that limit them: how often do we talk ourselves out of pursuing our dreams?

The episode urges a shift in perspective, advocating for a bolder approach to life where self-doubt is replaced with self-belief.

By acknowledging that we often operate at only a fraction of our true potential, there is an empowering invitation for listeners to break free from their constraints and embrace a mindset of expansion and possibility.

The latter part of the episode introduces a unique opportunity for growth through a coaching program designed to help individuals identify and dismantle their limitations.

Heather paints a picture of a journey that goes beyond just business strategies; it’s about fostering a deeper understanding of oneself and unlocking hidden potential.

By signing up, listeners can expect to engage in transformative work that bolsters their confidence and equips them with the tools to take bold actions in their personal and professional lives.

Ultimately, the message resonates: true freedom is not merely an external pursuit but an internal state of being.

Takeaways:

  • True freedom starts from within and involves expanding your sense of possibilities.
  • We often limit ourselves more than external factors do; it's time to break those barriers.
  • Financial freedom and personal freedom are vital, but self-imposed limitations can hold us back.
  • Challenging long-held beliefs requires support and guidance, especially when breaking free is tough.
  • Consider where you are settling for less instead of pursuing your true potential.
  • Daring to dream bigger is essential for living a life of true freedom.

Transcript
Speaker A:

Hello and welcome to Monday Motivation.

Speaker A:

I've actually gone live today because I thought it's, it's actually a good habit to keep doing.

Speaker A:

And today I've really been considering freedom over the weekend.

Speaker A:

And if you're awake and aware, you know how important freedom is to everyone, it's something that, you know, at the highest level we can all kind of agree on.

Speaker A:

But what is interesting is our own definition of freedom and what freedom means to each of us individually and how we stand up for our freedom or not.

Speaker A:

Because as I say, our freedom means something different.

Speaker A:

So we might just want financial freedom, we might just want freedom to be with our family and to live our lives in a small way and that's fine.

Speaker A:

Our freedom, yeah, our freedom is up to us.

Speaker A:

It's our responsibility.

Speaker A:

There's no one who can choose your freedom for you.

Speaker A:

And I mean that obviously in general, obviously there are people who are unfairly imprisoned, whose freedom has been taken from them.

Speaker A:

I'm talking about the general population and you know, there's freedom of speech, there's financial freedom, and deeper, there's the kind of personal freedom.

Speaker A:

And I'm talking about freedom from our own self imposed limitations because I recognized a bit of a wake up call on the areas that I'm keeping myself limited.

Speaker A:

You know, I'm pushing for freedom and, and yet actually the limitations are my own.

Speaker A:

We often think that our biggest obstacle is the outside world.

Speaker A:

Lack of resources, you know, financially strapped, tough competition, challenging circumstances.

Speaker A:

But the truth is our most biggest block, if you like, our most formidable barriers are often those, the ones we create in our own minds.

Speaker A:

And I've been looking at that over the weekend.

Speaker A:

And if you think about it for a moment, how many times have you talked yourself out of pursuing the dream or doing something just because you thought you weren't good enough?

Speaker A:

Or how often have you settled for less because you believed that it's all you deserved?

Speaker A:

And one of the things that I've really noticed is in my label of being adaptable, I've actually lowered my tolerance level.

Speaker A:

So I've become more tolerant of things that I wouldn't have tolerated before.

Speaker A:

And that's actually created more limitation rather than being expensive.

Speaker A:

And I think freedom and expansion are what I'm kind of alluding to today.

Speaker A:

Where are you?

Speaker A:

Where have you begun limiting your expansiveness?

Speaker A:

Where have you been limiting the possibilities for yourself?

Speaker A:

Because those limitations are like invisible chains holding us back from reaching our true potential.

Speaker A:

And you know, there's a, there's research that says that we're only really operating at 40% of our true potential.

Speaker A:

What would happen if we even upgraded that by 10% in the areas of our lives where we, we feel we want more freedom and we're stopping ourselves and limiting ourselves from having that.

Speaker A:

And the exciting part is that because we create these limitations, we also have the power to break free from them.

Speaker A:

And that's something that I'm really taking on board.

Speaker A:

So imagine what your life and business could look like if you removed these self imposed barriers.

Speaker A:

What if you dared to dream bigger, to reach higher, to believe in yourself more fully and even aim for that 10% extra, you know, full potential.

Speaker A:

This is what true freedom looks like.

Speaker A:

It's not just about external circumstances, it's an internal state.

Speaker A:

It's about expanding your sense of what's possible and living into that extra potential every single day.

Speaker A:

I know it isn't always easy because we'd all be doing it if it was.

Speaker A:

So breaking free from long held beliefs and patterns and kind of the conditioning, especially the conditioning can be challenging.

Speaker A:

And that's why having support and guidance can be so crucial in this journey.

Speaker A:

You know, I'm going to be working with a new coach soon.

Speaker A:

And that's exactly why I'm excited to share a special opportunity with you today.

Speaker A:

Because I'm opening up up three spots for my six month, one to one coaching program.

Speaker A:

And it isn't just about business strategies and marketing tactics.

Speaker A:

It's about helping you identify and break free from those imposed limitations and identifying your own potential, your own untapped potential as an entrepreneur and also as a person.

Speaker A:

And together we'll work on challenging those limiting beliefs that keep you in limitation.

Speaker A:

Creating a clear vision, an authentic vision of what's possible for you, your business and your life.

Speaker A:

Developing strategies to overcome obstacles and strategies to continuously expand those possibilities and help you move into your potential and help you to build the self awareness, the confidence, the self esteem to take bold action, to show up in your business, to step into that potential and be more of who you truly are.

Speaker A:

And here's the best part.

Speaker A:

If you sign up by midnight tonight, you'll get an extra month's coaching absolutely free.

Speaker A:

So that's nine months, one on one support to help you transform your business and your life.

Speaker A:

And remember that true freedom starts from within.

Speaker A:

It is about expanding your possibilities and living up to your full potential.

Speaker A:

And if you're ready to break free from yourself and pose limitations and create the business and life you've always dreamed on, then this program is for you.

Speaker A:

And it's fine if you don't want to do the program.

Speaker A:

I challenge you today to take that first step towards true freedom and really examine where you're not living into your potential or where you aren't aware of the potential.

Speaker A:

Ask yourself some real tough coaching questions so that you expand that awareness and identify the potential that you may not have seen.

Speaker A:

Or, as I say, you can drop a comment below DM me or email me@heathereathervmasters.com and we can explore how we can work together to unlock your full potential.

Speaker A:

Yes, to your freedom and success.

Speaker A:

Heather Masters

After struggling to feel comfortable in my own skin for years, and after living through many life and career/business changes, I finally discovered something that helped me get comfortable with the unknown and discover what it was I truly wanted, and to connect with that heartfelt knowing I hadn't been able to get clarity on. I have turned that into a system that helps techies, Entrepreneurs and online creatives (Artists, writers, techies and digital creators) overcome their blocks so they can step into who they really are, tap into their Creative genius and confidently show up in their lives like never before.

When you are tired of being tired...
My mission is to help you step out of old destructive patterns and beliefs that limit you and free you up to create the intuitively guided business and life that empowers and ignites you.

Create A Future Distinct From The Past.

And for those Awakened Entrepreneurs and Business owners, navigating a challenging and vastly changing world landscape, I have created the Online Success Academy, and focused one to one coaching programs, that help you traverse the chaos and take advantage of the new and exciting opportunities presenting themselves.
