What’s Your (Upper Limit) Problem?

Have you ever experienced a situation where things are going really well, you’re feeling pretty happy with life, you feel you’re finally making progress, when all of a sudden something happens – perhaps a family crisis or an illness or you suddenly feel depressed for no apparent reason? It seems as though every time things start to go well, something happens to spoil it.

I think this is true for just about everyone. It has certainly happened for me. In Gay Hendrick’s book, The Big Leap, he describes this as an Upper Limit Problem (ULP). And the thing that’s difficult for most people to understand or believe is that you’re actually the one who creates it. It’s an Upper Limit Problem because subconsciously you believe that you have reached your upper limit, you cannot go beyond where you are now.

That’s right. Whenever we experience a ULP it’s because we’ve created it. I know that’s hard to believe, because very often it seems to be something outside of ourselves that affects us, so it seems that it has everything to do with somebody else and we simply get drawn into it. But that’s not the case.

I think Gay Hendricks explains it beautifully in his book, which I highly recommend reading. You see, your beliefs, your programming and conditioning are so powerful that when you start to move beyond your comfort zone, they immediately create something to pull you back. It’s the part of you that says “you can’t be that happy;” “life’s not supposed to be that good;” “you’re not supposed to be that successful.” So something happens to reinforce the belief.

Upper Limit Problems can appear in all sorts of ways. Here are some of them from the book:

Worry – Gay says that worrying is usually a sign that you have a ULP because worry and anxiety are not helpful. When you worry, it’s about something that might happen, not something that’s real. Worry is only useful if it relates to something you can actually do something about right now so that it leads you to taking some positive action.

Next time you find yourself worrying about something, ask yourself what’s really going on. Allow yourself to really feel the anxiety and ask yourself what really wants to come through. What is the worry trying to pull you away from?

Criticism/Blame – when you are criticizing someone or something it’s usually to cover up something else that’s really going on. when you criticize or blame, you are blocking the flow of energy, so it stops you from moving forward. This also includes self-criticism and blame.

When you find yourself criticizing or blaming – yourself or someone else – once again stop, and ask yourself what’s really going on. What’s really bothering you? Why do you feel the urge to criticize or blame? What’s it stopping you from doing, feeling or thinking?

Arguments – there’s nothing that can bring you down and make you feel bad as quickly as an argument (and arguments can come from criticism and blame). Any type of conflict immediately blocks the flow of positive energy and you can find that it develops into something that lasts for a long time (such as when you find that you haven’t spoken with a particular family member for years, because of one simple argument).

In the book, Gay explains that for an argument to occur each person is trying to prove that they are the ‘victim’ in the conflict. The argument can only end when you realize that each person involved in a disagreement has 100% responsibility. He explains this in more detail by outlining the physics of arguments. If you are willing to step out of the role of victim in an argument and take 100% responsibility it is the only way to keep the positive energy flowing.

Accidents/Illnesses – have you ever worked really hard so you could enjoy some time off only to find that when you take that vacation and are relaxed and enjoying yourself you get sick? Or things are going really well, you’re feeling good and then someone rear-ends your car? How do you know if these are just things that happen or if they are Upper Limit Problems? One way is to think back to times when you have had illnesses or accidents and ask yourself if they came in the middle of or just after a period when things seemed to be going really well in your life and you felt really good.

There are other ways that we create Upper Limit Problems in our lives, but I hope this has given you some food for thought. The most important thing is to start becoming more aware, so that you recognize when an Upper Limit Problem arises and you recognize it for what it is. Once you do that, you have no need for it and you can move on to greater success and happiness.

I just finished reading a book by Gay Hendricks, called The Big Leap – a book I’ve been meaning to read for some time, but only just managed to get around to! There is a lot of great information in this book, so here’s a quick review of some points that I found interesting.

The book is all about the barriers we create to our own success, happiness and fulfillment. I like the clear and concise way he explains it because these are all things I’ve experienced myself or have experienced with clients.

One of the points he makes in the book is that we spend most of our time in one of four zones. It’s important to identify which zone you spend most time in because you may be wasting too much energy there and not putting enough energy into where you really want to be.

The zone of incompetence – this is where you spend a lot of time focusing on things that you’re either not good at or that you don’t like to do. You think you need to get better at doing them, and so you put a lot of time and energy into that.

The zone of competence – these are things that you can do, and may do well, but are not necessarily things that you like to do or that will take you in the direction of your goals. You do them simply because you can.

The zone of excellence – this zone is one of the biggest traps. It’s your comfort zone. This is when things are, perhaps, going well enough but it’s not what you’d really love to be doing. Think of being in a job that you don’t enjoy, but that you’re good at and it pays well. You stay there simply because it pays well and because you’re familiar with it, even though you’d love to do something else. But taking that step out of the zone of excellence to do something else can be very difficult.

The zone of genius – this is when you are doing what you love and it feels effortless. It doesn’t feel like work because you love it so much. This is where your life becomes joyful. This is where you can truly be yourself. This is when life just flows.

So where do you spend most of your time and energy right now? Which zone do you spend the most time in? I’ve spent a lot of time in the first 3 zones and am really now focused on being in the 4th zone as much as possible. That’s where I want to be.

Sometimes, you may not know what your zone of genius is. To help you get there, the author recommends asking yourself the following questions:

• What do I most love to do?
• What work do I do that doesn’t seem like work?
• In my work, what produces the highest ratio of abundance and satisfaction to amount of time spent?
• What is my unique ability?

I highly recommend reading the book, but in the meantime, these are questions that you can ask yourself – and you’ll want to sit with these questions for a while, rather than trying to answer them quickly.

Also, pay attention to where you are spending your time and energy – which zone are you in the most? And which zone would you like to be in?

We all need to have some quiet time in our lives. Some time to just be still and reflect. When you regularly take quiet time for yourself you give yourself the gift of renewal, reflection and the opportunity to connect with your soul. Since this is such an important aspect of life, it’s most helpful if you have a dedicated space in your home for this purpose.

Having a place of solitude helps you to let go of the demands and obligations of life and gives you the space to be able to become centered and to renew your energy. It offers you a retreat from daily activities and details. Such a space helps you to reconnect with your own personal power that lies deep within you.

It doesn’t have to be an entire room, although if you have the space for it this would be ideal. Your place of solitude may be something as simple as a window seat – a quiet alcove that invites contemplation. When I was at the Silent Retreat in McCall, one of my favorite places to be was in a beautiful window seat that offered a view of the river – I could have stayed there all day! But it could just as easily be a corner of a room or even a closet.

Once you have identified your place of solitude, you’ll want to make sure that the energy of the space is appropriate. It should be a quiet space, with light colors – nothing too bright. Use soothing fragrances and soft textures – nothing harsh. You’ll want comfortable seating, perhaps a special chair, and adding a blanket or pillows can add to that sense of comfort.

Ideally this space would face a window with an inspiring view (like the window seat at the retreat in McCall) but if this is not possible you could find a picture of an inspiring view and hang that where you can see it while sitting in this space.

You might want to include an altar in this space. A small table, shelf or even a window ledge, where you can place items that are important and significant to you – here are a few suggestions:

• Candles or incense
• Your journal
• An item that is symbolic to you of peace and balance
• A special book
• Seashells or natural crystals
• Fruit or flowers
• A special photograph
• A bell

The things you place here do not have to mean anything to anybody else – they just have to be meaningful to you, and they should be items that invite stillness and contemplation. You can change the objects as frequently as you desire – even with the seasons if that feels right to you.

Above all this is your space. A place where you can come to just be. Where there are no demands to be made of you. Where you do not have to think, but simply allow the time for quiet reflection. This may be the place where you also write in your journal, where you meditate or pray.

I often find that people may have thought of doing this but have never done it, somehow thinking that it feels silly or even selfish in some way. Well, now you have permission – go and create your place of solitude so that you can renew your energy and receive the answers you need. If you never take the time to be still, you will be too busy to receive the guidance you need.

If you already have your own sacred space, I’d love to hear about it. Submit a comment to share details and feel free to send in a photo as well. All those who submit comments and/or a photo of their Place of Solitude will be entered into a drawing to receive a copy of one of my books (your choice) and a coaching session with me.

We often talk about physical clutter that accumulates in our homes and offices, but what about cluttered time? Since your environment is simply a reflection of what’s going on in your life, if you have clutter in your environment, it’s highly likely that your life is cluttered too – meaning that you have people and things taking  up your time unnecessarily, leaving you feeling chaotic and overwhelmed.

If you’ve ever found yourself going backwards and forwards multiple times when running errands or forgetting appointments or if you find it difficult to get things done because of  constant interruptions you may find these tips helpful for managing your time a little more effectively.

In order to be able to manage your time most effectively you need to identify what your highest priorities are. Whatever your highest priority is, that’s where your focus needs to be. So you’ll want to know exactly what is important to you – then anything that’s not important will be easier to identify and say no to. If you feel overwhelmed and have the sense that you never have enough time, you can be sure that you are allowing things to pull you away from whatever your  highest priorities are.

Once you’ve done that, here are some time and energy management tips that might help you stay focused and on track:

Combine tasks – this is different from multi-tasking. This is a way of using your time effectively. For example, if you have to wait for anything – such as waiting in line, waiting for your car to be serviced or waiting to pick someone up from the airport – use the time effectively. You can write a letter, catch up with some phone calls, read through magazines or materials that need your attention. You can exercise while watching television to catch up on the news, or listen to an audio program such as a podcast or tele-seminar) while you’re on the treadmill. Combine errands, rather than making separate trips for each one.

Plan ahead - when you are going to start a new project don’t just jump in and get started. Think of everything that you will need. Don’t start something unless you have all the necessary tools and information or you will find that you have to stop and start again later. For example, have you ever started baking something only to find that you are missing one crucial ingredient? Take all the ingredients out before you start, that way you’ll know if you need to run to the store to get a missing ingredient, you’ll know if you have the right size pan, etc.

Write it down – avoid the impulse to try to keep everything in your head. Write it down. Make sure you always put appointments on your calendar as soon as you make them. Keep a notebook to write down ideas, conversations and notes and things to jog your memory. Writing things down keeps your mind free and you’ll feel a lot less overwhelmed.

Eliminate interruptions – you don’t have to answer the phone every time it rings. You don’t have to allow people to interrupt you. If you’re in the middle of something it’s perfectly alright to say “I’m busy right now, can we schedule a time to talk about that…” If you honor your time you’ll find that other people will start honoring it too. Some interruptions may be unavoidable, such as if your boss wants you to do something urgently. So it’s a good idea when planning a project to allow extra time, that way you won’t feel so rushed.

Consolidate – set certain times of the day to make or return phone calls, check e-mails or see visitors. E-mail in particular can take up a lot of your time. It’s best to check e-mails at certain times of the day, rather than checking them and responding every time a new one comes in.

Maximize your energy – know when you have the most energy. If you’re a morning person, make sure you schedule the things that require the most energy in the morning. If you have a time of day when your energy is usually lower, then use that time to do things that don’t require as much energy. You’ll find your day will flow much more effectively if you don’t try to force yourself to do tasks that require high energy when your energy is naturally lower.

Pick just one of these tips to try out and you’ll see how much of a difference it can make. You really don’t need to go through life feeling chaotic, overwhelmed and constantly feeling as though you don’t have enough time and energy. Let me know which tips work best for you, and feel free to share some of your own!

What do you do when your energy needs a boost? Perhaps you’re feeling low and you want to feel better. Or you were feeling great and then something (or someone) happened to change your mood. Once your energy has been lowered it can be difficult to get it back and it can be easy to stay stuck with negative energy – yours or someone else’s. How can you get your energy back? How can you lift your energy and feel better quickly?

I’m sure everyone has their own favorite methods, but here a few suggestions, things that I have found to be helpful that you may not have considered:

1. Write about it. Get a notebook or your journal and write about how you’re feeling. Just get it all out onto the page. Some people think that this is just being negative and focusing on the bad stuff, but it isn’t like that at all. Writing it down can be very cathartic. It gets it out of your head, out of your body and onto the page. And in the process of writing about it, you may gain some new insights into the situation and how you’re feeling and where it came from.I always feel better when I’ve ‘written through’ something. It creates an immediate change in my energy because I feel as though I’ve left all the negativity on the page, so I don’t need to carry it around any more and it also helps me to feel better because I find answers come to me as I write about situations.
2. Listen to your favorite music. Music has the power to change your energy very quickly, particularly if it’s something positive and uplifting or it simply has a great beat and is energizing. I also like to play upbeat music when I’m doing a job that I don’t necessarily enjoy – such as sorting through papers, de-cluttering or organizing an area, like the clost. It’s also great for helping you do the cleaning!
3. Read or listen to some powerful, uplifting words. There are many great authors that I enjoy listening to, such as Eckhart Tolle, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra. They always have wonderful, uplifting messages that can pull my energy back up instantly, making me feel positive and hopeful again.
4. Go outside. Going for a walk outside, or just simply being in nature can also change your energy very quickly. Don’t just walk or be out there though, pay attention. Listen to the birds, feel the breeze and the sun on your skin. Notice the trees and the flowers. Really pay attention.
5. Call a friend. Do you know someone who has a great sense of humor or who is able to see the positive in every negative situation? Call that person and spend a few minutes on the phone with them. You can either talk through what you’re feeling, or just let their personality uplift you. Everyone should have at least one person in their life who makes them feel energized by just talking to them or being in their presence. Note – your job here is to have a pleasant, meaningful conversation and allow them to uplift you – it’s not to bring them down to the same state of low energy as you!
6. Play a sport. Do you play a sport? I love to play tennis and I find that when I go out to play it helps me to transform any negative energy or feelings that I had. Not only is it good for you physically, but if you play a team sport, socializing with the other team members is part of the fun. For example, after our tennis matches we all get together and have a glass of wine and a snack – that’s all part of the enjoyment.

These are just a few ways that you can change your energy. You should have your own list. In fact, I’d love to hear what methods you use to uplift your energy and feel better quickly, so please feel free to share.

This weekend in the USA we are celebrating Independence Day. As we do so and we think about what it means to be free – I want to encourage you to think about the possibility of your own independence. Independence from the thoughts, beliefs and conditioning that hold you back.

If you’ve ever identified an old, unhelpful belief or some negative patterns that have held you back, you’ll know how very liberating it is. You move from feeling stuck to knowing that anything is possible.

There’s a very simple way to know whether you are holding yourself back in any way and that is to look at the results that you are currently experiencing in each area of your life. If they are not what you want and don’t feel good then you know there is something controlling you (beliefs and conditioning) and if you want to change things you need to break free of those patterns.

You can blame outside circumstances – the economy, your job, other people – but the truth is that whatever you are experiencing is in your life because you attracted it. It’s not true that everybody is suffering because of the economy, many are, but many are experiencing more success than ever before as well. If they can experience success then you can too.

Speaking as someone who has been stuck in just about every area of life, I know from my own experiences, as well as those of the clients I work with, that when you change your beliefs, conditioning and programming, then your life circumstances change. If you try to force the change from the outside, it doesn’t work – I know because I tried for years!

So if you truly want to celebrate Independence Day – to celebrate not just the independence of the country, but your own independence, then change what’s going on within you – that’s when you will really have cause for celebration.

I was interviewed last week by multiple streams of income expert, Patricia Drain for her weekly newsletter. Thought you might like to read the article:

I had the opportunity to interview Linda Binns, “the energy expert,” about the power of energy and what effect that has on your life.

Here is what she had to say:

PD: How can a person change their environment to support success?

LB: Very easily. One of the most powerful things you can do is to eliminate from your space anything that you do not use, need, want or absolutely love. Also, eliminate anything that has negative memories and associations for you. When you hang on to these things, they take up your energy and they take up space. When you clear them, your energy is freed up and so is your space – this opens things up so that new opportunities and resources can come into your life to support your success. Having a cluttered space will slow you down and keep you stuck.

PD: How does energy affect sales?

LB: In many ways. Ask yourself – how does my energy feel around what I do? How does my energy feel around sales? People pick up on your energy. If you’re having a bad day or if you’re feeling negative about yourself or about something in your life, people pick up on that. They may not be aware of it, but they do. It doesn’t matter whether you do business with someone in person, over the phone or on-line, you are constantly sending out energy about yourself and your business. So, when you feel confident, you feel good about what you’re doing, you love to help people and you feel good about making and managing money, then that’s the energetic vibration that you are sending out – people will be drawn to you and want to do business with you. If you have doubts about yourself or about money, etc., you may attract people who can’t or won’t pay or who want things for free. The energy in your environment also has an impact on your own personal energy, and will affect the vibration you are sending out – and therefore will determine what you attract.

PD: How can business owners keep their energy at an all time high?

LB: I don’t think business owners should expect their energy to always be high. But the most important thing is awareness. You need to be aware of what affects your energy and how. What types of people, things and situations drain your energy? What types of people, things and situations energize you? You want to minimize the amount of time you spend with the things that drain you and maximize the amount of time you spend with those that energize you. But you can’t do that unless you really understand what affects you and how it affects you. For example, if you’re feeling great, having a wonderful day, and feeling as though nothing could go wrong, and then all of a sudden you find yourself going into a downward spiral, feeling negative and maybe even a little depressed, you need to stop and ask yourself ‘what just happened?’ Who did you speak to or what did you do? What was the resulting feeling? Analyze what just happened and you’ll know what happened to change your energy. So awareness is the key.

PD: If you could share ONE thing that would immediately “prove” the power of energy, what would that be?

LB: Change something – anything. Change your thinking, change your environment by de-cluttering or by moving things around, or by organizing or buying something that you really love. Change a belief about yourself – all of these are energy (everything is energy), and when you change something, you will see a corresponding change in your life situation. Sometimes it’s subtle, sometimes you’ll notice a big shift. But here’s what I know – when you change YOUR energy (your thoughts, beliefs, emotions, actions, environment), then your life and business situations will change. It can’t be any other way. So when you change your energy to become more positive, you will have more positive results. It’s quite simple, really – not always easy, but simple.

How well you maintain the exterior of your house speaks to the well-being of the house and its inhabitants as well. Here are a few simple tips to help you improve the energy of your home on the outside:

• Make sure everything is in good repair – remove and/or replace all dead vegetation. If the plants are to be replaced be sure to consider the mature size of the plants so that you are not faced with overgrown vegetation. Trim or remove any overgrown vegetation that is blocking pathways, doors or windows.
• Make sure fences, gates, paths, stairs, banisters, etc. are in good repair. Remove the clutter. Create appropriate storage areas for trash, fire wood, tools, etc.
• Welcome people (and energy) to your front door and into your home. The threshold represents your relationship with society and provides a welcome transition area when moving from one space (outdoors) to another (indoors). make sure the front door opens fully and does not stick. Also make sure that the area is free of toys or any other objects that create a need for caution.
• If necessary, complete the shape of the house by using any combination of landscape, patio, walls, arbor, porch, deck or room addition.
• Wherever you can, use curved, meandering pathways, patios and garden walls. Use strategically placed pots or plant material to soften edges that cannot be changed.
• Create a protective embrace and ensure privacy around the sides and back of your property using fences, trees and bushes. Also provide protection from busy streets, cul-de-sacs, or T-junctions using fencing, trees, bushes and other landscaping.
• The goal is to create a beautiful view from every window and door in your home.
• Your exterior experience will be enhanced by creating an environment that appeals to all five of the senses (sight, sound, smell, taste and touch).
• If possible, provide a path that is separate from the driveway, and is specifically designed to lead people to your front door. When a path and driveway are shared, it indicates that the car, just by virtue of its size, is more important than the people. This situation is made worse when your garage sticks out further than the rest of the house.
• Consider the addition of a water feature to your front yard. Be sure to place it with the water flowing towards the house.

When you pay attention to the energy on the outside of your home, it helps to improve the energy on the inside. It also provides a warm welcome to you when you arrive home and to anyone who comes to visit.

I often find when working with clients that what they think they want turns out to be not at all what they really want. Mostly it’s what they THINK they should want or what others think they should want. It’s usually a big surprise to them when we dig a little deeper and they discover that it really isn’t what they want at all.

So why would someone think they want something that they don’t really want? There can be many reasons, such as:

Everybody else seems to want it, so they believe they must too. For example, when we were on a cruise recently, there seemed to be a tremendous buying frenzy around diamonds. The cruise line offered many presentations on the places to buy diamonds. They offered sales on jewelry on board the ship, and so on. Everywhere we went people were trying to sell us diamonds and the majority of people wanted them – we didn’t. The assumption is that every woman wants lots of diamonds. And that may be true for many women – it isn’t for me.

Family/friend pressure - if everybody you know thinks your life should be a certain way, you can end up believing them without really stopping to think about it.

People tell you this is what it takes to be successful. I know someone who has become a very successful business woman. She is now coaching other women to make lots of money in their businesses. One of the ways she markets herself and her success is to show off her beautiful closet filled with wonderful clothes and shoes, her house on the beach, here wonderful car. And that’s exactly what many women want. But it’s not what every business woman wants. You may think that thee are things you should want, that you should strive for, but they may not really fit your personality.

So how do you know whether what you want is really what you want? Here are a couple of ways that might help:

• Ask yourself why you want this particular thing or particular goal. What will it do for you? How will life be different when you have achieved it? How will you feel? This can often reveal a hidden disconnect with what you think you want.
• If you have been struggling to achieve this goal for some time, complete this sentence: “I’m afraid that when I accomplish … I will …” This can reveal hidden fears and anxieties around what you think you want.

If you have been striving for a goal for a while and it’ s just not happening for you, it may be time to re-visit the goal to find out if it really is what you want. Be honest with yourself and be open to whatever answers you may find. Most of all, understand that it’s really okay for you not to want the same as everyone else and it’s really okay if others can’t understand why you don’t. They don’t have to – it’s just important that you do!

When faced with a difficult situation it’s very easy to give your power away. You are giving your power away when you feel stress and anxiety or if you start to panic. When you wonder why this is happening to you and you resist the situation. When you feel like a victim and blame others for what is happening. When you think you have no choice or that you just have to give up.

Here are 5 steps that will help you to reclaim your power and handle the situation in a state of grace and peace:

1. Accept what is happening. It is important that you accept what is. Resisting it simply creates stress and there is no point in resisting it and saying “this shouldn’t be happening to me” because it already is. You don’t have to like it, but the fact is – it’s happening. So when you can calmly accept the situation you are staying present to it and you are much better able to deal with it.
2. Pay attention to how you feel. Your body gives you may messages but you may often ignore them. When feelings arise that are uncomfortable, we either want to dismiss them or stifle them. Instead, allow yourself to feel whatever you’re feeling. You may get an anxious feeling in the pit of your stomach. Your chest might feel tight. You may feel stiffness in your neck or back, or you may get a headache. Whatever it is, allow yourself to feel it without judgment. Notice where it is, what it feels like and surrender to it without fear. Most often when you do this you will find that after a few moments the feeling will dissipate and you will be left feeling much calmer. If you try to change the feeling, deny it or stifle it, then it doesn’t go anywhere – it just stays with you and continues to affect you.
3. Be willing to learn. Ask what you need to learn from this situation. It’s come into your life for a reason, there is an opportunity here for you to learn something and grow. Perhaps you need to change something you’re doing. Perhaps you need to change how you feel about and treat yourself. Perhaps you need to release judgment of others. Whatever the situation is, it’s in your life for a reason. When you are willing to learn the lesson and receive the guidance, then the situation won’t need to be in your life for long. If you fight it, then it will continue to be a problem for you for some time – you’re giving your power away. If you accept that there is something to learn and even look for what that is, you’ll get the lesson much sooner and won’t need the situation any more.
4. Be open to solutions. When you surrender to stress and anxiety about a situation you are closing yourself off to possible solutions. But when you surrender to the situation, accept that it is happening and stay calm, you leave yourself open to receive answers. Ask what you can do right now to help the situation. Be open to whatever comes. Solutions may come in a variety of ways. You may get an idea, or someone may come into your life who can help you, or you may be introduced to a book that has some answers or hear something on the radio or television that relates to your situation. Sometimes the answers that come are subtle, so you have to be ready for them. They may not always come in the way that you think. Be open and receptive and the solutions will come.
5. Take action. You may not know what to do to completely resolve the situation. But there is always something you can do right now – you just have to be open to whatever that is and do it. Perhaps the first thing you can do right now is research, perhaps it’s finding someone else who has experienced a similar situation and come through it. Perhaps it’s removing yourself from the situation, and doing something completely different, then coming back to it. Often when you do that and come back to the situation you suddenly know exactly what to do or what seemed like a problem before no longer is a problem.

All too often we give our power away and feel like victims when something happens that we don’t like. Stop giving your power away. Just follow these simple steps and notice how much better you feel, how much more in control and how things are resolved much more easily. And do feel free to share your experiences – we can all learn from each other!
