Our mind is a powerful thing, and we still don\u2019t fully understand just how powerful it is, nor how It works. Our minds create our reality and this law is proven daily when you think about a great idea and then go do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our mind also creates limits and keeps us small and safe in our comfort zone. There are three common mindset limits to living joyfully that are responsible for a lot of the suffering we face in our personal lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doubt, drama, and disbelief\u2026 they all have something in common. Besides the starting letter, do you wonder what their commonality is?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As someone who has experienced all of them, either all at once, or on separate occasions, I have wondered why they show up together and how to transmute them into better feelings, experiences, and relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 Mindset limits to living joyfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drama – follows you everywhere. cannot seem to shake it. Chaotic mind. Awareness is the enemy. Fueled by habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doubt – stems from insecurity. Not trusting yourself. Not trusting others. experiences of pain carried with us. Fear of rejection. Fear of abandonment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Disbelief – skepticism as a cover for fear. Mindset pattern of seeing negatives. Stems from past pain. Looking at reality as fact. No faith in something bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The chart above summarizes what they all have in common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The underlying theme is skepticism which comes from fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s call it FEAR. BASED. THINKING.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All three of these things that we can experience, are limiting your own ability to have joy, be joyful, and experience a joyful life by creating and perpetuating limiting beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s dig in deeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drama occurs as a mindset limit to living joyfully because it is incredibly hard to shake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We all know those super dramatic people, the ones we call toxic and debate about cutting out or ghosting from our life under the justification of it\u2019s for my mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What you don\u2019t know, is that using toxic people as an excuse for your own drama is perpetuating that limiting belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And more than that, cutting someone out of your life isn\u2019t a solution to the drama cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you cut someone out of your life because they\u2019re toxic, but then go tell your group of friends that you\u2019ve cut this person out and how you\u2019re better off without them, you\u2019re repeating the drama cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019re talking about the thing you did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you truly knew that this was the best for you, you wouldn\u2019t have a need to go discuss it with your friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talking about the decisions you\u2019re making is either to inflate your ego, or to repeat a pattern that you\u2019re stuck in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trust me when I say, I was the person cutting people off, and then the one being cut off. If you don\u2019t look at your own drama patterns, then you\u2019ll find drama recurring in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cutting someone else out isn\u2019t a solution. Working on your mindset is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s possible, my friend knows someone who did that and it turned out to be a scam\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI can\u2019t follow my dreams, I have no experience doing _____ and I wouldn\u2019t get hired doing it anyways. Plus I still don\u2019t know what I want to do\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m so tired of trying! I try so hard and still don\u2019t get anywhere! Why aren\u2019t my dreams manifesting?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are all examples of language centred around a lack of trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We often use doubt as a reason why we can\u2019t do things. We bring in other people\u2019s experiences and say well I can\u2019t because of X Y Z. But that\u2019s not true, it\u2019s your mind telling you all these things that will keep you safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s your mind trying to keep you small so you won\u2019t grow past the limits it has set for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When your mind is in control, your ego is high on power and power comes from control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ask yourself these three questions to reveal the pattern of doubt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where is my attachment to fear?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What am I really afraid of? How have I experienced this and conquered it before?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When have I felt doubt and done it anyways?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The hardest part of doing something new is to START. This is what my grandfather used to say, which couldn\u2019t be more true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doubt is like the person at the bar checking your ID. They\u2019re asking you \u201care you sure you want to go in there? The guys are pigs, and everyone is hotter than you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you sure you want to have that experience because you\u2019ve never done it before. Are you sure you want to risk putting your heart on your sleeve, it may get crushed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How much risk are you willing to take in order to accomplish what you\u2019re trying to? Where are you limiting yourself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will live a more joyful life if you learn to see doubt as a bodyguard and acknowledge it. It\u2019s not truth. It just is like a sassy gatekeeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What you put out into the world is what you get back. be mindful of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
