Use the Past Tense to Move Beyond Limiting Beliefs

I used to say I didn’t like putting myself out there. That I wasn’t good at marketing. That I was more of an artist, more of a builder.

But I realized those were just limiting beliefs. I realized it was a story I was telling myself that wasn’t true.

One technique that’s helped me shift my mindset is using the past tense. I wasn’t good at marketing, but I’m getting better every day.

Framing it in the past separates it from my identity now. It’s no longer who I am. It’s just who I used to be.
