TECC 91: GAIL: Overcoming Energy Blocks in Your Engineering Career

In this episode, I am going to review 4 energy blocks, some of which are most likely standing between you and success. Key points: G – Gremlins – the part of you that makes you feel less than who you really are, and shows up as the “I’m not good enough” voice. How to overcome it: Expose it and talk back to it – keep telling yourself you can do it. A – Assumptions – The assumption that because something happened in the past that it will happen again. How to overcome it: Question the assumption and try to prove it wrong. I – Interpretations – Your story and interpretation of a person or event; judgment you created to be true. How to overcome it: Don’t judge things and don’t judge people. Let them play out and experience them, you’ll be much much better off if you do. L – Limiting Beliefs – Limiting beliefs that are masked as truths, because you created them to be a truth for yourself. How to overcome it: Dump any limiting beliefs you have and say that you’re capable of doing something.
