Notes from Chris

Episode 2156

Do you ever feel like you’re holding yourself back from greatness? If so, you just need to sign up for my premium greatness coaching program...

Alright, real talk: a listener has a question about how every time they start to make progress, they find themselves holding back, maybe even sabotaging themselves. What can be done in this situation?

Even though I joke about my premium greatness coaching program, I too sometimes feel like this. Let’s see if we can help Jennifer, our caller, and—just maybe—somebody else out there.

“This is Jennifer and I'm calling in from Boston.

My question is a lot like the ones you've featured on imposter syndrome or otherwise getting in your own way—but it also feels a little different. I've been trying to start a side hustle for years, and every time I start to make progress, I hold back. It's like I don't allow myself to succeed, or even to fully try.

I've thought about this a lot and even asked my therapist why I keep returning to this pattern. Part of it is fear of change—or at least that's what the therapist said—but I really do want to move past it.

Whatever the origin is, how can I push through this wall? Thanks for any advice you have. .”
