Break free from metaphorical boxes holding you back
BLOOM (TAMPA) – Author Betsy Pepine joins Gayle Guyardo the host of the nationally syndicated health and wellness show Bloom to talk about breaking metaphorical boxes.
Pepine shares the inspiration for her book ‘Breaking Boxes’ and describes some of the metaphorical and literal boxes are that shape our lives. In her book, Pepine talks about the ‘boxes’ we find ourselves in—whether through societal expectations, stereotypes, or our own self-imposed limitations.
She explains how we put ourselves and others in these boxes, which must be dismantled.
In both her book and career, mindset seems to play a critical role and that breaking out of these boxes could potentially lead us to better things.
Sometimes you can be unaware that you’re even in a box, or stay in one too long because of fear. Pepine suggests trying to overcome the reasons for why you are in that box. Though it may be scary to leave one box, it could lead you closer to your goals.
