With a new year comes new goals and new resolutions. The end of one year and the beginning of another provide the perfect opportunity to pause, take stock, and reflect on the goals we want to achieve and the habits we hope to form. But what if the biggest obstacle standing in the way of your success wasn’t external? What if it were rooted in our own beliefs and thought patterns?
That’s exactly what we explore in this week’s episode of The Fit Bottom Girls Podcastwhere I sat with FBG Alex – a mindset coach passionate about helping people break free of limiting beliefs and reach their full potential – to discuss five common beliefs that could be holding you back from achieving your goals.
It is not enough to set resolutions and goals. To truly pave the way to meaningful transformation, we must confront the mental obstacles that stand in our way.
From overscheduling to ditching that familiar self-critical voice, Alex and I delve into the mindset shifts you can make to start the new year with intention and clarity.
If you’re ready to let go of what no longer serves you and create space for personal growth, this episode It’s something you should listen to.
- How the belief that “I have to do everything” is a recipe for burnout; why setting limits and asking for help is the real “superpower.”
- Why external validation (“I need to know what they think of me”) damages your self-esteem, and how to move to self-confidence instead.
- How the fixed mindset of “This is who I am” sabotages your potential and how to add curiosity and growth to your daily life.
- Why self-criticism (“I’m so lazy and I lack discipline”) doesn’t help and how self-compassion can trigger meaningful change.
- How overwhelm leads to paralysis (“I don’t have time to focus on my health”) and why breaking down goals into small, manageable steps is key.
