Never Doubt
Coaching, Dr. Peggy MarshallWhen doubts creep in, we have to be able to transcend our limiting beliefs. If you find yourself saying something like “I’ll never make it to the finish line”, you have to check in with your beliefs. Asking yourself how that belief serves you can help you turn it around.
