Untangling the self-concept of being a "good girl" and why it can hold you back is an important topic that I wanted to share twice. My upcoming book will probably be titled the same as this episode. I'm sharing this episode from last week again because I want you to challenge those long-standing beliefs you may be holding and break free to create that fulfilling and purposeful life you deserve.
I hope you enjoy this encore episode because it's time to stop pleasing others and start making progress toward your own goals. Don't let the “good girl” in you hold you back. It's time to be a little bad, even dangerous! Break those limiting beliefs and take the limits off your dreams. Trust me. It's worth it. Your future you will thank you!
Episode Highlights:
[03:22] Part of upgrading and elevating your self-concept includes the undoing of the cultural indoctrination of the good girl.
[03:45] I'm writing a book that will probably have the same name as this podcast. One of the things that I discuss is this concept of society's good girl. I'm going to read an excerpt from my intro.
[05:07] Think about the dream for your life that you wrote out in your homework. Did you think about how you would be viewed by society, family, and friends? Does your role and position as a woman prevent you from achieving your dream?
[07:13] Are you people-pleasing, pushing down your dreams, and creating boundaries? Treading water is expending effort to maintain one's status, but doesn't make much progress towards a goal.
[08:02] It's time to unravel that societal programming that tells us our dreams are only partially possible.
[08:25] Look at your dreams and see where the good girl in you is holding you back.
[10:40] Look at these thoughts that are holding you back. See them and know that they are optional.
[11:03] What would you do if you were a bad girl? What would you do if you were a dangerous woman?
[11:52] Go back to your homework and look for those thoughts that tell you why you can't fulfill your dreams. Find those thoughts that are holding you captive.
[13:30] Beliefs holding you back whether positive or negative are all under review here. Go back to the scenario in those four areas and take the limits off.
[14:22] If you do this work up front, it makes things so much better when you start creating your dream life.
