In this brief, informal video, Mary Schiller shares a simple mindset exercise: whenever a limiting thought arises—such as "I can't," "I shouldn't," or "that's impossible"—the viewer should simply notice it and let it pass without engaging or trying to counter it. She frames limitations as mental constructs that don’t truly exist, suggesting that laughing at these thoughts can help detach from them. Mary invites viewers to try ignoring limiting thoughts for an entire day and to report back on any changes they notice, emphasizing observation over analysis. The video ends with a quick sign‑off as she departs for a trip to Santa Barbara.

Hey there, it's Mary Schiller, and it is Sunday. I'm not sure what the date is. I think it's maybe the 26th of February. Anyway, I wanted to do a very short video for you right now. I'm actually leaving in just a few minutes to go to Santa Barbara to meet a lovely friend of mine and spend a few hours with her, so I have to take off. It's about 7:35, AM here in, on the Central Coast of California where I'm staying, but it just occurred to me that I wanted to share something with you and that is that one thing I have seen very clearly, especially the past year, is that limitation is really non-existent and it's not that we have to do things about these limiting beliefs that we have. You hear a lot of people talking about limiting beliefs and how to eliminate them. And really, it's so much simpler than that. It's about recognizing that anytime I have a thought that says I have a limitation in some way, I just ignore it. I don't pay attention to it. I just kind of let it say whatever it's going to say and wait for it to move on. And I would love for you to do the same, even just for a day. If you have a thought that comes through your mind that says, you know, I can't, or I shouldn't, or that won't happen, or that's impossible, or how could I, just let it go on by. Don't pay it much attention. In fact, I often find it helpful to laugh at those thoughts because they imply that there is something about me that is I put this, like contained inside this body that I'm in. And you and I both know that we are much more than this container that we're in. So let's start behaving like that. Let's start acting from a place that shows we are not limited in any way. And I know you're going to have all kinds of arguments about why we do have limitations, and I'm just going to say ignore those thoughts and don't argue with them. Don't try to beat them into submission. Don't do anything about them. Just let them be there and don't pay them any attention. And I just would love to hear if you do that for one day, what difference you notice in yourself. So as I said, this is a short message because I got to jump in the car and head to Santa Barbara, but I really want to hear from you what happens when you let any limiting thoughts just float on past and don't give them any attention. Okay, so enjoy your day and report back because I'm going to check. All right, thanks so much. Bye now.
