I recently came across a quote from Theodore Roosevelt that said “If you believe you can you’re halfway there.” I love it, because it speaks to the power of one’s thoughts and mindset and how much influence they have over you.
I’m working with a client right now on her mindset and thought patterns. Ever since she was young, she has dealt with negative thinking and low self-confidence. Despite being incredibly smart and successful first at school and then in her career, she has low inner confidence and often is self-critical whenever she doesn’t meet her own high expectations.
