Utilising Your Potential

Have you ever been told that you have a lot of potential? That you could ‘go places’? Do big things? Maybe you have big dreams? Yet you find yourself stuck, not making progress or levelling up like you want to? When we doubt our own ability, or aim for perfection, we hold ourselves back from utilising our potential. You then keep yourself small, preventing yourself from getting to that next level that other people think you could reach. How does that make you feel? When there is a gap between what others see in you, and what you see in yourself? It can be helpful to remind yourself of how others see you, and tune into those kind and supportive cheerleading voices. If you get too stuck inside your own head, you’ll believe what your inner critic says about your ability, and you’ll hold yourself back from utilising your potential. Try to speak to yourself like others speak to you, reminding yourself of the capacity others see in you. To learn about the other reasons why you may not be utilising your potential, tune into this short solo episode now!
