While working with one of my clients today, helping her to release her self-limiting beliefs; she brought up the old belief that she had been carrying for decades. “I have to be lucky to succeed.”
I asked her how she would benefit from releasing and reprogramming that belief and she answered, “I would be more motivated to take action.”
