Hi,

May is coming to a close and we are almost reaching the halfway mark! WOW!

May has been about MOVEMENT for me.

Things are really starting to move in both professional and personal life. The past months had a slower pace, spent on a lot of reflection, reconstructions, redirections. rebooting… Yes, I was on the 'RE' kind of mode.

May, on the other hand, is brimming with new opportunities, new connections, new partnerships and it feels wonderful. Also, May is a month of family celebrations. My parents just celebrated their 55th Wedding Anniversary. :-) My brother his 52nd birthday. Another very cool thing - my Mom and Dad share the same birthday! So this 16th May, my Dad turned 84, my Mom 78. I feel so very blessed and grateful for their continued great health, happiness and joy.

I hope as you are moving forward, you too are seeing positive MOVEMENT in all areas of your life. And do remember to take time to love, appreciate and celebrate your loved ones too!

If you are feeling stuck in some area and wondering what's going on, the featured article is for you!

Wishing you success always!

What Stops You?

• Do you feel discouraged about your dreams and goals?
• Are you feeling like something is holding you back but you can't seem to pinpoint what it is?

I was going for my evening walk the other day when an
advertisement on the street caught my attention.
WHAT STOPS YOU? It read.

At a closer look I saw this was a HONDA ad. The picture in it is of a man on a Honda bike. It's raining hard. The man's got his raining suit on.  He is riding away despite the storm with focus and determination to his destination.

I found this ad powerful.

It made me reflect on different areas of my life. My current dreams. The potential obstacles I saw.  Later as I reflected and cleared out the doubts and worries, I felt free to move forward. This ad helped me get great insights and so I want to ask you too-

WHAT STOPS YOU?

I know you have a desire.  We all have our unique dreams.
Whether it's that new job, a more peaceful relationship, freedom from pain, higher income, fitness goals, travel adventure, becoming an author, rising up the corporate ladder, being a better parent etc..

So What's Stopping You?

If I were to ask you to tell me that you think is stopping you-
What story would you tell me? What reasons would you give? What obstacles out there would you point to?

What if I told you that the only thing keeping you from your dreams and desires is Your Limiting Beliefs?

If you have an intention, a desire and you are consciously taking action toward that goal, but your efforts are falling short of achieving that desire, UNCONSCIOUS LIMITING BELIEFS are most likely at work!

Most of the time people are not aware of these Limiting Beliefs because these beliefs have become their "truths".  Here are some examples of Limiting Belief that sound like "the truth"

"I'm just not lucky",
 "No matter how hard I try, things don't work out for me",
 "It's really hard being a successful musician",
"I'm really bad at handling money" etc.
"I just don't have the right connections to make this happen"
"I never have the money to travel to my dream destinations"

Sadly, so many people give up on their dreams without realizing that the only thing that's stopping them is their limiting belief(s)! 

A belief is simply a thought you have thought over and over.
What we think, we create.

Mostly people don't realize they are creating their reality, but they truly are not consciously but by default!
 
How?

Well when we have dreams and desires and our thinking about those dreams is negative, worrisome, filled with fear, doubts, etc,, these negative thoughts block us from achieving what we want.
We find ourselves stuck and not moving forward.
Now we may begin to further think " I try so hard but things don't work out for me. I'm unlucky". And so as we try to move forward, we keep repeating that same pattern and experiences. 

Dr. Wayne Dyer wrote a book " You'll See It, When You Believe It"!
The formula is the other way around. And that's what most people don't understand.

If you don't believe it, you wont see it, achieve it!

BUT A LIMITING BELIEF IS JUST A BUNCH OF REPEATED NEGATIVE THOUGHTS which can be changed.
 

Here are 3 Quick Tips to Breakdown Limiting Belief Barriers:

1. Ask Yourself : Does this thinking, this belief LIMIT ME or SUPPORT ME?

Question yourself: If it limits me, why am I holding on to it?
It's like if you touched a pan and it was hot and you felt pain, would you keep touching it?  No! right? So maybe it's time to take your hand away from that hot painful belief and break free from  it.

2. Don't Buy It!

When you think of a desire and a limiting belief  surfaces like….
 "I'm not lucky", or "I don't deserve this' or ‘I don't have what it takes' …

Step back and become a witness of this floating thought in front of you.
And Say "Hmmmmm…interesting…I'm thinking this thought right now…"
Just like a floating cloud in the mind's sky.  Let it float by. DON'T BUY IT!

You don't buy every dress that you happen to look at in a store!
You don't have to buy any limiting belief that comes into your mind.

3. Substitute ‘AND' for ‘BUT'

IF you have a desire and you think:
" I want to travel to this dream destination BUT I don't have the money"
         Substitute the ‘BUT' with ‘AND' and REFRAME the sentence.

"I want to travel to my dream destination AND I want to find a way to arrange the money"

With this reframe, the MONEY is no longer a block. It's part of the goal. It's part of the dream allows you to keep moving forward toward your dream.

So just like that guy on the Honda Ad, don't let the rain and thunderstorms stop you! Keep moving forward and breakdown any Belief Barriers that stand in the way.

Remind yourself that you are a spark of The Divine. You are a co-creator! With God, all things are possible!

"Shalini helped me identify some “core issues” related to my IBS and and we did some tapping to “release” and let go of those negative emotions and I started to have pain-free days of no cramping or bloating!

During my work with Shalini I was able to make leaps and bounds in a positive direction. I found that the tapping was useful in other areas of my life as well - especially SPORTS!

As I began tapping away performance anxiety fears, I began rapidly progressing in my fitness goals. I was able to move out of a slump of fears and began running longer and faster.

I am now confident that I'll mentally as well as physically have the strength and endurance to compete in my first adventure race. Thank you Shalini for helping me release my bricks and remove my blocks!"
