C.U.L.P. Initiative: Conspiracy to overcome the Upper Limit Problem

C.U.L.P. New Year’s Initiative

Conspiracy to overcome the Upper Limit Problem (concept from the book titled: The Big Leap)…

Conspiracy is from 2 latin words; and it literally means to breathe together. I think that is cool.

I definitely suffer from The Upper Limit Problem.

The Upper Limit Problem is the concept that we all live in our little box of excellence: we have acquired through experience a comfortable space of expertise.

The Upper Limit Problem is the human tendency to put the brakes on our positive “energy”/feelings when we’ve exceeded our unconscious thermostat setting for how good we can feel, how successful we can be, and how much love we can feel. The items to explore are:

1. What keeps us from going up? Getting beyond our upper limit…For me it is that I am not enough so I am not worthy, not deserving, and not willing to let go of staying in the box (ex. not truly embracing/accepting compliments/good moments that happen to me).

2. What can we do to stay above our upper limit? Or better yet, what can we do to eliminate our upper limit completely? What can we do to increase our tolerance for things going well in our lives in the now? What can we do to celebrate and embrace the space above and beyond our upper limit?

3. What does it feel like when we break through the top of our upper limit box?
