Do you ever feel like there is an invisible glass ceiling on your success and happiness?
It's almost as if you’ve hit a plateau and now you can’t seem to achieve that next big goal? Perhaps you’re even self sabotaging your own success. Perhaps you know what to do but you can’t bring yourself to do it.
If you resonated with the above statements, you may have hit your upper limit.
The upper limit explained: We all have a consistent threshold or thermostat for certain emotions. This thermostat dictates the amount of happiness, success, wealth and love that we allow ourselves to experience.
It’s like our internal comfort zone for how happy or good we feel.
When we surpass our normal thermostat for happiness, joy or success, our ego tries to bring us back down into our comfort zone through self sabotage.
For example: You just get a super high paying client for the first time or you get a raise at your job and in the same week you get into a major car accident and you have to use the money you just got to fix the car.
Or you just qualify for a loan to get a new home and then your credit card gets stolen.
You know, it's usually self sabotaging stuff like that.
So how do we get over our upper limit?
Step 1: Firstly pay attention to your thoughts and feelings especially when good things are happening to you. Are you being present in the moment and allowing yourself to experience true joy or are you waiting for the other shoe to drop and telling yourself it's too good to be true?
Step 2: Practice being really happy and excited for no reason at all. When you practice being happy over an extended period of time, your thermostat for the level of happiness you allow yourself to receive will grow over time.
Step 3: Expect success not failure. We are often expecting and planning for things to go wrong. Rarely are we ever expecting things to go right for us. Practice being overly optimistic about everything and start expecting and planning for the BEST case scenario instead of the worst case.
Step 4: Know that hitting your upper limit is part of the journey. It’s not that something is wrong with you. It’s just a part of levelling up.
