Identified + Challenged

I’ve been challenging a lot of my beliefs over here lately, testing myself to find out if these beliefs are truly mine or learned over the years.

Here’s what I firmly BELIEVED — a few of the things I would say out loud without question — until recently.

1️⃣ I’m not a good reader. I’ve never been a good reader. I try, but I just don’t have the time.

2️⃣ I’m not a good water drinker. I wish I could get in my preferred water intake, but I just can’t.

3️⃣ I’m not sure that I’m passionate about what I’m doing. I’m good at it, but is it me!?

❗️ And guess what happened when I challenged these beliefs? When I tried something different, because deep down I knew I could DO better and that if I changed the way I thought about these things, my life would change for the better. ❗️

1️⃣ On my birthday, I made a commitment to myself to read at least 2 books a month. I started waking up at 6AM so I could have just ☝🏻 hour to myself to make this happen. Almost 4 books later, it turns out I am a good reader and I do actually have the time, if I make the time.

2️⃣ I stopped drinking alcohol, dusted off my water bottle with a diffuser in the middle (hello yummy, non-boring water 🍓🥒🍍) and made sure to drink half my body weight per day. Turns out I CAN drink water easily and frequently. PS. Added BONUS: This action helps me achieve #1 by reducing that morning, foggy/tired brain that was previously occurring thanks to the glass of wine the night before.

3️⃣ I gave myself a permission slip to be FULLY ME in my real estate biz + actively try to find the FUN in every moment. What I’ve found since making this mental shift, is that I’m SUPER passionate about helping my clients find their happy place, making it a comfortable experience, and even allowing my competitive nature to shine through when it comes to negotiating and working with other agents who haven’t found the fun quite yet. I’m loving it.

The reason I share ALL this is to say, things only change when we change.

It wasn’t until I finally ✨ IDENTIFIED + CHALLENGED ✨ my beliefs that I was able to create a true shift.

Do you tell yourself, this just isn’t me?

Maybe it IS you, but your old beliefs are in the way! 💥
