On the May 23rd Successful Woman Radio Show, we discussed the topic "Letting Go of Negative Baggage". We had a great response to the topic and I wanted to share it with you on BBWO.
See Show notes below:
Intro
Areas of our life that can cause us to hold on to negative baggage can include:
- Childhood experiences
- Words of the Naysayers
- Negative Environments
- Negative Self-Talk
- Past Business Failures
I define negative baggage as any experience, self-talk, or habit that is emotionally and negatively contributing to your life. Negative baggage can take away from your life's abundance rather than contributing to it.
From my own personal experience, I know that if you don't rid yourself of negative baggage, it can grow and fester in your life and prevent you from being the wealthy woman, the woman of abundance that you truly desire to be.
When we hold on to negative beliefs and experiences they plant themselves in our sub-conscious mind and conflict with the conscious mind, which is where we generate our dreams and goals. It is when this conflict occurs that we experience self-doubt, procrastination, self-sabotage and other self-defeating actions that have no place in the mind of a woman who's seeking success in all areas of her life.
The solution is to rid yourself of habits, people, places and things that have been negatively impacting your life, so you can move forward to be the woman of purpose that you desire.
Below are 8 Ways to Eliminate Negative Baggage:
- Admit that you have baggage that's contributing negatively in your life.
- Learn about the power of your sub-conscious mind.
- Be Willing to Let Go!
- Set Boundaries or Signals for Yourself.
- Work on How You Think!
- Hold a Let It Go Ceremony!
- Practice the Power of Positive Thinking.
- Practice the Rubber Band Method! Place a rubber band around your wrist and snap yourself each time you think negatively or find yourself in a negative environment. After each snap, replace your thought with a positive affirmation or solution.
Let's face it, everyone has probably experienced carrying around negative baggage in their life. However, if you want to achieve your dreams and goals and experience mental wealth, it has to go!
Please share your comments on Letting Go of Negative Baggage. Have you experienced it holding you back? How did you overcome it?
