In this video, you're going to learn how to let go of self-limiting beliefs,

how to stop getting stuck hating yourself and find a healthy sense of self.

Have you ever seen a cattle guard? Where I live out in the west, there are open-range cattle.

0:13.0

That means that they are fenced into huge areas and the road crosses through their range.

0:18.0

So when a road crosses a fence line, there are a couple of options to let the

0:21.6

cars through, but keep the cattle in. The first option is a gate. This keeps the fence continuous,

0:27.4

but the driver has to stop their car, get out, open the gate, get back into their car, drive

0:32.0

through the gate, stop their car, get out of the car, close the gate, and get back to driving.

0:37.3

Now, this is kind of a pain for drivers,

0:39.2

but it can be a bigger pain for ranchers because some drivers get lazy. They don't close the gate

they're expensive. So sometimes out on these desert roads and ranches, they'll simply paint a cattle

1:18.9

guard on a solid piece of asphalt. The cows who don't have incredible vision, and they've already

1:24.6

been conditioned by real cattle guards, are scared of it, so they won't walk across it.

1:29.4

They believe that they can't walk across it or they'll break their leg and die. These cows have set limits on themselves

1:37.3

by labeling these parallel lines as dangerous, even when they're just painted and they pose no physical threat. But that

1:45.1

limitation is all in their mind. The labels you give yourself, whether you call yourself

1:49.8

broken, stupid, bad, or even if you give yourself positive labels, these are just like
