Health

Limiting belief I had back then: I had to ALREADY BE GOOD AT STUFF. If I could go back in time I'd say to 19-year-old Alison: "Hey, yeah, you suck now but just keep showing up. You'll get better. Yes, you'll feel behind to start but pretty soon you won't be behind. Keep working hard and pretty soon you could be one of the best."

After awhile I couldn't run anymore. I just felt too tired. It took several doctor visits over many years to finally get the diagnosis I needed: anemia. 2 months of taking the prescribed supplements cleared up my debilitating symptoms.
