Show Yourself Some Identification

Remember way back when (for some of us) when you were asked for identification to prove your age before you entered a licenced premises. It is also standard practice to have to show ID to open a bank account or get a credit card. Society takes this for granted and whilst it can be a pain in the butt at times, the masses recognise the importance of all of these identification processes.

However something goes a miss when it comes to ourselves. In my chosen role as a restrictionator (terminator of restrictions) the first plan of attack should be to change your mindset. Simply because we all possess conditioning's from our upbringings that will feel almost tattooed permanently into our psyches. I am the first to own up to having them and I'll also admit not all of those conditioning's are bad for me. But if you aren't aware of them then there is definitely no way you will erase the damaging thought processes that keep restricting your personal development. Whether it is physical, emotional, spiritual or mental restrictions you place on yourself it has the potential to stop your development in its tracks.

Without trying to address and then fix everything all at once your first point of call is your thoughts. Start identifying what it is you are actually thinking. Are your thoughts regularly negative and restrictive. For example, "I would never be able to do that" or "When I do that I will be a better person ....". Although the examples are vague I hope you get the point. Once you know what you are putting into your head space you can identify what it is that will be holding you back in some capacity. Without revealing your thought patterns there is no way known you can ID the destructive ones that will be holding up your development.

I liken it to creating a building base or foundation that is solid enough to take the massive weight that will be placed upon it. Any weakness that is left unattended could lead to potential destruction and disaster. Your mind is the same. If you have weaknesses that are left unattended they will most definitely surface in some shape or form. Get on the case and become a Sherlock Holmes in your mind, any clues you find will be vital.
