Overcoming Your Mindset Obstacles: A Written Guide for Luxury Mavens
Welcome to this transformative series, where we explore how to overcome mindset obstacles that hold us back from living a life of purpose, impact, and luxury. This guide is based on a three-part video series, with the third part and a special bonus available exclusively in the Luxury Maven Community. Each section includes real-life stories, scriptural wisdom, and practical applications to deepen your understanding and empower your journey.
Video 1: Overcoming Mindset Obstacles - Part 1
Point 1: Overcoming Self-Doubt
Story: Jonah’s reluctance to follow God’s command (Jonah 1:1–3).
Scripture: “The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai: ‘Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.’ But Jonah ran away from the Lord.” (Jonah 1:1–3, NIV)
Word Meaning: The Hebrew word for "wickedness" (“rāʻâ”) conveys the idea of deep moral failure, showing the gravity of Nineveh’s need for repentance.
Application: Identify your "Nineveh" – that one task or calling you’ve been avoiding due to self-doubt. Commit to one small step toward it today.
Point 2: Reframing Fear of Failure
Story: Harriet Tubman’s courageous leadership.
Reflection: Every step she took along the Underground Railroad carried enormous risk, but her trust in God gave her the strength to move forward.
Scripture: “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7, NKJV)
Application: Write down one fear that’s holding you back. Reframe it by identifying what God’s power and love enable you to accomplish despite that fear.
Point 3: Replacing Negative Self-Talk
Real-Life Application: Imagine preparing for a major pitch. Your inner voice whispers, "You’re not good enough." How do you respond?
Scripture: “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord.” (Psalm 19:14, NKJV)
Word Meaning: "Meditation" (Hebrew: “hegyon”) implies deep, intentional thought. Replace negative thoughts with intentional affirmations rooted in God’s truth.
Application: Create a list of affirmations like "I am prepared," "I am equipped," and "I am chosen for this moment."
