What stories are you telling yourself about what you’re capable of? How have dominant narratives affected your beliefs in yourself!? It can be hard to see the many, layered, and multifaceted stories and beliefs we’ve absorbed over our lifetimes. These can come from so many different places and people; from family, friends, cultures, societies, tv, music, school, the list goes on and on. We spend years not even realizing that these hidden beliefs are affecting us in sometimes positive, but mostly negative ways. I am still uncovering limiting beliefs I didn’t even know I had, that I’ve absorbed from individual, groups, and systemic oppressors. This is why I am so passionate about helping others uncover their strengths and in that, we also uncover what’s holding people back. Too often it is these kinds of innate or hidden beliefs and biases that they didn’t even know were affecting them. This is the ongoing challenge and danger of symptoms and systems of internal and external oppression. They are insidious, ever-changing, like a shifting virus trying desperately not to be found! Like shame that can only live in the darkness, these too die in the light of realization. Share in the comments, is their a limiting belief you’ve become aware of? Where do you think it came from? #lgbtqia #bipoc #women #smallbusiness #deibestpractices
