<\/span><\/p>\n Choose one thing (big or small) that you thought you could not do\u2026 and go do it.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n By Sarah Hodges<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n We often tell ourselves we are not capable of doing certain things. Some of these perceived limitations are well-founded \u2013 No, I cannot jump from one tall building to the next like spiderman, or speak Icelandic fluently without studying \u2013 but the greater number of these supposed limitations are unfounded. Nothing more than a limited belief pattern. As you step into a new year, add a little pizzazz to this year by exploring just how capable you are.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n I would normally only consider myself to be able to read a book a month, and I challenged myself to see how many books I could read by the end of the year. I began at the end of November and joyfully devoured four books by the end of the year. I doubled what I thought I was capable of.<\/span><\/p>\n I previously believed that I was a slow reader and couldn\u2019t read very many books in a short period of time. So, I decided to disprove this little thought pattern and see that I am<\/span> capable of reading four books in one month. I have my motivation: the love of learning and traveling whether it be in person or through stories – AND – watching a belief pattern be dismantled with the power of will (pretty fun stuff!).\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n A positive shift in perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n I know I don\u2019t lack determination. If I really want to get something done or prove something to myself I\u2019ll see the task through. So, I decided to finish the year and step into the new year with some avid reading. I got off to a running start and didn\u2019t look back. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The benefit of doing something that you never thought you could, or had previously told yourself you could not, far outweighs the benefits of staying safely cradled in a limiting belief. Start with something small – saying a prayer every morning for a month without skipping a day, or successfully baking something you never thought you could – then go bigger once you prove to yourself your great capacity. Make sure to choose something specific and measurable to complete within a specific timeframe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Our capacity tends to far exceed what we are used to exercising in belief. Try this tip, and I promise you won\u2019t be bored this year.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_image=”https:\/\/stillandmovingcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/yoga-instructor_96.jpg” custom_padding=”0px||0px|||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_image=”https:\/\/stillandmovingcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lanikai_hoop-edit-scaled.jpg” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#24394a” background_image=”https:\/\/stillandmovingcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/body_background.jpg” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”60px|60px|60px|60px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”50px|10vw|50px|10vw|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”30px||30px||true|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ header_text_color=”#9a5206″ header_2_font=”santana||||||||” header_2_text_color=”#9a5206″ header_2_font_size=”2vw” header_2_line_height=”1.1em” background_layout=”dark” max_width=”800px” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”|||0px|false|false” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”45px” header_2_font_size_phone=”35px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/still-moving-center\/id1424600988″ url_new_window=”on” button_text=”APPLE APP STORE” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”#fe9440″ button_border_color=”#fe9440″ button_border_radius=”24px” custom_margin=”||||false|false” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” animation_duration=”1550ms” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.fitnessmobileapps.stillandmovingcenter” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”GOOGLE PLAY STORE” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”#fe9440″ button_border_color=”#fe9440″ button_border_radius=”24px” custom_margin=”||||false|false” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” animation_duration=”1550ms” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Choose one thing (big or small) that you thought you could not do\u2026 and go do it.
