“Things start to go pear shaped”…I love that! Great way to describe an Upper Limit Problem. 🙂 And good for you for being self aware and starting to notice what you’re feeling/doing when the ULP comes around. The more you know your patterns, the more you can keep the “pear shaped” times at bay. 🙂

Hi Zara! Good for you for calling on that “stubborn streak” to get you past some pretty huge ULPs! And you know, I hadn’t really thought about how we are biologically hard wired to stay in our comfort zones. But you’re so right! Our caveman ancestors needed that warning system to avoid becoming some animal’s lunch. But unfortunately, our bodies today don’t always understand that launching a website or writing a book isn’t going to kill us…lol! But the good news is, we’re self aware enough to know when we’re starting to “upper limit” ourselves. So, we can head the ULP off at the pass when we see it coming! 🙂

Hi Cory! So glad you felt like reading this could help you as you work on breaking through your upper limits. God knows, we all have them! But I feel like that just means you’re striving for more in life, so in a weird way, ULPs are a good sign. I definitely recommend reading “The Big Leap.” I wish I had gotten into it sooner, because it has really changed my perspective and given me a lot of hope and motivation! 🙂

Wow! I’m so sorry you’re going through this, but I can definitely say I (literally) feel your pain. You’d never had the flu before, and I had never been to a chiropractor (nor had I ever planned to…lol). Those ULPs can get pretty damned crafty in terms of how they try to keep us down! But you persevered, and so did I…which is the key to busting through our upper limits and getting on to the really good stuff. Now that you’ve shown the ULP who’s boss, I predict you’ll have amazing success at your event next week and perfect health going forward! 🙂
