005: The #1 Thing to CHANGE When You Plateau!

  The #1 Thing to CHANGE When You Plateau!  A lot of times, when we feel self-doubt creeping in and sabotaging us, or we hit a roadblock on the way towards our goals, we work on attacking the symptoms rather than the actual problem.  In my business that I started eight years ago, I had lots of success in my first year. But then I hit a roadblock. My business growth plateaued, and I started to get in my head about it.To solve the problem, I thought I had to just work HARDER, and do MORE of the things.  But the problem is, they weren’t inspired activities, because my mindset wasn’t right. I was approaching it with frustration and even irritation 😤 So what happened? I grew even MORE frustrated, because my activity level and effort increased, but my results didn’t change! Eventually (like, 2 YEARS later), I finally connected the dots that my own self-doubt was making my actions worthless. It’s like - if you want to build muscle, and you go to the gym, but you just pick the lightest weights and never push yourself. You just won’t progress. You are taking action, but it’s not inspired. The action isn’t taken with the right mindset.  So, if you are plateaued in your own life in some way, instead of thinking what can I DO to fix this situation, try looking internally and getting present to how you are FEELING and THINKING about that plateau.  In this week’s podcast, I go into detail on how I became aware of my problem, and how I went through the mental journey of resolving it.  Remember: you can take all the action in the world, but if you have core beliefs that are contrary to what you want, then you will just be on a stationary bike - spinning your wheels, working hard, but not actually going anywhere!  ⭐ Hey there! Thanks for listening! ⭐  If this episode inspired you in some way, take a screenshot of you listening on your device and post it to your Instagram Stories, and tag me @katherinereuter!
