Breaking Barriers with ‘The Big Leap’ by Gay Hendricks
Have you ever wondered what’s holding you back from achieving the success you desire and deserve? “The Big Leap” by Gay Hendricks might have some answers. This acclaimed self-help book offers powerful insights into the psychological barriers that often stand in our way and provides practical strategies to overcome them.
1. The Upper Limit Problem
One of the key concepts in “The Big Leap” is the Upper Limit Problem. Hendricks argues that we all have an internal thermostat that determines how much success, love, and creativity we allow ourselves to enjoy. When we exceed our “temperature setting,” we tend to self-sabotage to return to our comfort zone.
This Upper Limit Problem can limit our potential and cause unnecessary stress and anxiety. Recognizing and dismantling these self-imposed barriers is crucial for our mental health and success. So never be afraid to go beyond it. Yeah, sometimes at this point we might be confused about the gratitude with what we already have with what we want to achieve. That’s another part of a story that we will discuss later in the future. But the point is if we want to achieve something we need, like we really need to step out of our comfort zone and just go for it.
