Hi Sarah, We live our lives in accordance with our belief system and our self-image. They influence our thoughts and actions. I listed my limiting self-beliefs (the ones that i considered were holding me back) and then set about challenging them. I also enlarged my self-image to accommodate things that I felt previously lay outside my scope/capability. If we cannot 'see' ourselves doing a particular task/role, then we will never be successful in that area. Having avoided public speaking throughout my life (because it was excluded from my self-image), I now fully accept myself as a public speaker and have a programme of talks as far ahead as October 2008. ;-) Thank you for generous comments and your valued contribution to the threaded discussion. Kindest regards Alan
