Limiting Beliefs: Another Crazy Coaching Theory

It is about your conclusions not your beliefs. Conclusion IS what makes you act or not. Example: is it reasonable to believe that you can learn a new language within the next 60 days? Absolutely it is. However, the question is will you? I bet you’re doing some quick calculating that looks at your desire to accept the challenge, time to devote to it, things you would have to do, what language to learn, etc. And at the end of that quick calculation you’ve probably reached a conclusion, one that will determine what you will do. It is not the belief that will make you act, it’s the actual conclusion.

Conclusions are like a destination or outcome. Think of them as the existing sum total or our knowledge bank or reasoned learning (experiences, thoughts, emotions, probabilities, etc.) about a thing. This makes conclusions a potent force in our lives because we generally always act based on what we know. It is also the key to how we change. Humans adapt and learn - we come to new conclusions.

Know this then, it is the ability to adapt and learn (reach new conclusions) that will determine not only survival, but also the quality and condition of our lives.

If you want to improve your well-being (the quality and condition of your life) change the conclusions (reasoned learning - experiences, thoughts, emotions, probabilities, etc.) you’ve made about your life or a specific aspect of it. Start by changing one, some or all the inputs of your existing conclusion(s) (experience, thought, emotion, probability). When you do that, a different conclusion is the outcome and based on that new conclusion you can upshift your well-being.
