As we go through life, we come across all sorts of power, is to prevent us from doing something. But as a scientist, I like to dig into the first principles and establish, if the limit is truly a physical limit of impossibility of something that's in the mind, a lot of our struggles in life and actually against the laws of physics that I just against relative ideas of limits that we formed our beliefs ultimate limited based on our current environment. And it's very easy to lose sight of the bigger picture and ignore, the evidence is actually around us to our limits. Could be much higher in this episode. I'm going to talk about uncovering, the real limits of our own capabilities and why we can believe that they have much leverage, you to just using incorrect reference points, my goal will be to help you, establish better reference points, if y-you limit should be, so you can perform higher and do more cool stuff.
Welcome to the great mindset podcast. I'm your host Samuel and it's my pleasure to have you here. Let's kick off with an example. When you're singing, your voice has a range of notes that you can make noise at you rearrange, might not be issued, but it's usually isn't tiny. Many singers will stop singing a scale or song near the bottom of that range and they'll start to give up in the run. And then let me be a call to the way of the range or something. And I'll start the struggle making the high Knights of the run and they lose confidence. They trying to push that voice higher and you'll probably only this sounded so don't push nipples. That was it? Like it is awful and no one likes it. But the thing that tries to push against this wall of fear, the more, it pushes back against them and the world they sound and they do come, you can hear it. But the only thing about this is that the high note that that's driving for is not that high and it's below their natural range and they can easily say
Good night with the bed, trying to sing. The trouble is all in their mind and I did this, a lot was, I was trying to saying, and my teacher told me that this is such a common problem, and she tries to get people to imagine that they are above the night that I trying to sing. And that they're going to go down to what this relatively High night for that for the moment. And then they suddenly hit the night really easily, just a matter of perspective, in the moment, the best thing in the short run, they lose perspective of that full range, and they got scared. This thing in that. Mind becomes really difficult, but actually relatively for them, it's not hard. So that is choking for no reason. Loss of our struggles in life aren't against the laws of physics. As I said to the start, they are against relative ideas of limits that I owe in our minds, often has limited based on our current environment with lost in the moment such as when you're singing and we lose sight of evidence that we have about real limits such as hey, I can think really high notes when I hit him high for the trash, my right? It's this comes up and so many other place.
Another really interesting example for me is how humans, think about what they can achieve over a different times bands. We often too ambitious. And what we can achieve this week or this month we finish. Here we go again with your setting to you many times not to do box that we don't get around to yet. We aren't ambitious enough before we can do in a decade over the whole lives. When looking at the wrong suspect it's again and I'll come in to sleep Solutions about how do you solve these problems later this morning to explain the first, I'll show you some other areas where I live. It's show up and it'll it'll tie together. Like I'm excited. So limiting perspectives in Belize also come up when trying to break you goals. The famous 4 minute mile Racine is a hard feeling once they'd been broken. However, many run has started breaking it end, these were people who physically capable of breaking it in the years before hand, but I just didn't think that I could. So this will be affecting you on a personal level with things.
You want to do but you think might be difficult directly for you but it can also happen with limited. What you just think is possible for a human or business and it just becomes part of our normal rules to if you have goals for yourself, but you don't think it's possible. You could be placing invisible limits on yourself for no reason and this is one of the reasons I see that I'm passing stop breaking World Records this year, so I just want to let you share the story of inordinate. I just putting in some hard work to do something extreme and forging a path to a point when are humans going before, just because if I can and there's nothing stopping me. Now I'll cutcha is also something that really affects the way. We think about our limits because coach was deeply ingrained into us. And this is why I'm such a fan of traveling to gain different perspectives. So for example last week in the UK baby has one of the hottest days on record because I'm a widow. I wanted to try running a marathon on the day and I suggested that Day to my sister who actually goes annoyed at me. She was like, why you deliberately trying?
Elijah's elf. You idiot talk to you. You this is dumb and for me I was like this is super logical. I want to push my limits. I want to do marathons across deserts and stuff and so I can just be some heat training on my doorstep for once about knocking to travel somewhere hot and it just was super sensible for my mind and in London will save your heart for me. I could like walk into a supermarket with him listening to get a drink and it's much safer than going to it as it returned to do at some point. But in person people think of the temperature is scary at 40° Celsius. Sorry, that's not paranoid if it is very far from the Baseline in the news everywhere, as having somebody like how shit everything was going to be. And so it was unfortunately on a tangent did win the argument because if we remembered that, I actually have a lot of rotten but the point is that culture is Ashley surrounds you and your people believe.
Breathing Arctic conditions and in desert furnaces. And this is why I think traveling such a good cure for mind cuz it just lets you see how people live in this exists in complete different ways of living that were used to help you question, how you do things out? You think is like is a way of doing the right thing to do or is it just because of his was done by those around you? And so it would actually make you question what you feel and what you fear just going to slightly separate engine but it's a bit related around the fact that I was kind of a bit stuck in my ways if I'm wearing occupants with is that intelligent people can be very stuck in their ways and you can show them compelling evidence against their beliefs and usually doesn't work because intelligent people are more capable of coming up with elaborate explanations of why they are, right? And that will say more used to being correct so they can develop into something that other people are wrong. So one piece of Life advice is, don't waste time arguing people who are intelligent and just don't see too often change their mind cuz if there is the idiots and two, if you
Think you're intelligent, watch out for this because intelligence and wisdom and not the same thing and you didn't want to be making yourself dumb ass just cuz you know, different ways of seeing the world around you and Constance. You be most likely to be stuck in your ways when it comes to your limit, switch is the traffic to run about. So his attention, it wasn't that bad cuz yes, basically, question while you have your thoughts, especially if you are kind of clever in your able to come up with good reason as to why you're having them. The reason you're coming up with might not actually be correct. Next up will be hearing by the ingrained fundamental nature within humans that driving test form self-limiting beliefs in the first place and have to break down to them.

So back to a limit on The evolutionary psychology behind it. We are built to feel danger develop as we go further from safety. It's what kept us alive. The problem is, we don't always have the correct awareness if we're all safe.
Is a mind. Establishes the safe limit as the starting point, venturing out is leaving our comforter in whoever. We realize that we can go a long way and never even leave a safety tool, I mind tells us this is difficult and we start to feel the pressure of anxiety and fear without our ability. We don't commit remember the signature King.
I cancelled, I'm kind of thinking anyway, we expect to fail and we do yet. There is no reason. It is just self-protection. This is why expanding our conversation is so important. And learn to love. Failure me to flip a mind to the thing as scary, and do it as exciting opportunities for growth. Now are some questions that I want you to think about. If you're finding something difficult, and you feel like you're coming up against various, ask yourself these questions. Why am I fighting to do this thing? Like right now is that a physical or mental barrier? Is it something that's truly difficult for me? An impossible or is that evidence somewhere outside of my current situation where there isn't a barrier and I actually could be doing it another way to think about it is, what would I do if I thought this was easy,
Now there's the old some really big questions that deserve some time mulling over that and the one around, what would you do if I throw this easy is so important when attempting to learn a new skill. For example, ultimate overestimate, their skill level and pasta Mystics, can be more realistic. However, Optimist a moly to master a skill because they picked himself succeeding which gives them the confidence and drive to assist. When you can leave some at your brain, fills his, all the inputs searching for Rapid is to support your belief. So those questions that I asked at a help you question your beliefs in full-fat ones. When you question your beliefs you start feeling certain Tomlin the difference between a belief in a conviction conviction is linked to a powerful emotional event. The towels yourself unless I believe this all suffered massive Pain by stop believing this. I'll give it my identity and everything that stood for. So the crate Mastery convertible Leaf into conviction to Great conviction, reinforce your belief by adding
New more powerful references. Those questions about to help you find references to show you what I see real. And what you can do, then you can take action and each action will strengthen your commitment. Tony Robbins, have some great stores here, the meaning that you attach to events shaped who you are, and who you become. It's not the events themselves that shape you, but the beliefs, that you form of Eliza generalizations and misinterpretations of body experiences, find enough references. And you can divide the police about. Absolutely anything your references, could be real, or imaginary accurate or inaccurate. A, brain can tell the difference between something that we vividly imagined, or actually experienced. So, don't accept references is Real and True, without refusing to question them when it comes to a police, it doesn't even matter, which is true, it matches, which is most empowering. Is the belief that I'm believing strengthening me, or is it weakening the empowering? Or is it disempowering? So, back to the questions on your beliefs is, why am I
I am to do something. And is there a physical mental barrier around? It, is it January something with truly impossible or difficult? Or is that evidence that I can see outside of my situation where this isn't a barrier? And finally, how would I approach this if I thought it was easy. So I really hope you enjoy digging into all the fat. I am teasing out of limits in your mind and growing your Ambitions and comfits things I've spoken to you, I love you.
