Limiting beliefs

Limiting beliefs impact your life in many negative ways.

You may not realize this but you are the only one getting in the way of reaching your full potential.

You have the power within you to choose who you want to be and create the life you dream of.

The only thing stopping you is limiting beliefs, habits, and patterns of behavior that don’t serve you but hurt you.

Limiting beliefs from childhood become the blueprint that drives your life and can impact it in negative ways, blocking you from abundance.

In relationships, wealth, career and every aspect of your life.

The good news is:

You can choose to change that blueprint and replace those limiting beliefs, habits, and patterns of behavior with positive ones.

You have no idea how powerful limiting beliefs you have about yourself are and the way in which they will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

You become who you believe you are.

You manifest what you believe you’re worth.

Common limiting beliefs

If you think you’re unlovable, then you will attract people who treat you as unlovable.

If you think that you’re not worthy of that job then that job will go to somebody else.

If you have a fear of money or relationships then this will not turn out positively in your life.

Limiting beliefs that you don’t feel good enough or that you don’t belong, that you’re fat, stupid or ugly, that you can’t do this or you can’t do that for whatever reason, come from your childhood.

They inform your life but they’re not who you are.

This is a blueprint that has embedded inside you as a child.

You experience certain experiences as a child – you observe for example your parents and other people who have an influence on your life – and absorb their beliefs, particularly about themselves.

It rubs off on to you, passes down to you.

For example, as a child, you may have only got attention from your parent when you were sick.

They allowed you to stay home from school and that’s when you got all their attention.

So, you might grow up to become a hypochondriac as an adult.

A drama queen about every single thing that ails you and that starts to impact your life.

But this blueprint is just a narrative that’s in your head.

It’s a critical voice that’s telling you:

This is who you are.

That is what you are worth.

This is what you deserve

If you believe that negative voice, you will accept less for yourself.

You will go into relationships that aren’t good enough for you because that’s what your voice tells you you are worthy of.

It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Limiting beliefs limit you from reaching your potential.

I can’t travel overseas because I might get this disease

I don’t like their food

I’m afraid of them

I don’t like their beliefs

Negative beliefs like these will stop you traveling and learning from other cultures that may expand your horizon and enhance your life.

Controlling negative thoughts

Have a listen to what your voice tells you.

Look at your beliefs about everything from who you are, how you should behave, your view of the world, your view of other people.

Ask yourself:

Are these beliefs enhancing my life?

Are they serving me?

Or are they getting in my way?

Is a limiting belief you’re not as good as the person you’re comparing yourself to blocking you from success at work?

Is a limiting belief you are not good enough attracting those people who are not good for you coming into your life?

Examine your beliefs and listen to that voice inside your head.

Change your thinking change your life

Ask yourself instead:

Who Am I?

What do I want?

What do I believe?

What are the values that I hold dear to?

What is my moral and ethical code  I’dlike to live my life by?

Tell yourself that unless what that voice within your head tells you aligns with those core values, morals, and desires, then they’re not going to serve you.

They will get in your way and hold you back.

You need to banish negative beliefs.

Self-empowerment

Practice challenging them.

Call them out when that voice whispers them to you inside and replace them with positive affirmations.

We keep repeating what’s familiar to us even if it is negative patterns of behavior.

And those limiting beliefs are familiar to us because they’ve been there since we were a child.

They’re so subconscious you may not even aware of them.

Now you’re an adult, you can take responsibility for yourself and choose whether or not you want to listen to them.

You can choose who you want to become.

Changing core beliefs

And it starts with replacing those limiting beliefs with very positive life-enhancing and empowering ones.

Beliefs that are going attract abundance into your life and not become roadblocks.

You can rewrite that narrative and empower yourself with positive affirmations that serve you.

Build a positive moral and ethical code, live by positive values that are true to your core being.

That will take you towards abundance.

If you believe you can be successful, then you will be.

If you believe you are worthy of attracting a relationship with someone who loves you, is good for you and enhances your life then you won’t accept anything less than that.

When faced with something that’s challenging you’ll respond by thinking:

I’ve got this.

I can conquer this.

Change your language as well.

Instead of saying:

I can’t.

I’m afraid.

Positive core beliefs

Replace your language with positive messages:

This is hard, but I can do this.

What steps do I need to take towards achieving that?

Don’t tell yourself:

I’m fat, I’m ugly, I’m stupid.

Tell yourself instead:

I’m not ugly, I’m just having a bad hair day.

That was a bit of a stupid thing I just said. I could have said that better. But it doesn’t mean I’m stupid.

Learn from that mistake and do it better next time.

Don’t be hard on yourself.

Don’t keep bashing yourself over the head with that inner critic./

Understand that limiting self-beliefs will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

If you continue to let them drive your life, behavior, responses to others and choices then you’ll never become the person you were born to be.

You will never create the life you dream of and deserve.

You have the power to choose who you want to be and the life you want to manifest.

Change your language to positive language and banish negative thoughts.

Find self-worth, self-esteem and self-confidence as they are key.

It takes practice but you can do this.

If you are facing roadblock after roadblock and feeling angry with the world for getting in your way, trust me when I say that you may be getting in your own way.

Nobody else is.

Only you can choose who you want to become and the dream life you want to live.

Nobody else can make that happen.

You have that power alone.

It all starts with replacing those limiting beliefs that are negative for believes that you can achieve what you want and are worthy of it.

You are good enough, you have the ability and talent to do so.

So, start today.

The more that you practice changing the blueprint that is determining what happens and the choices you make in your life to a better one –  a blueprint that’s going to take you to a positive, successful, happy life – the easier it gets.

It takes practice, but the life-changing results are worth it.

Start living your dream life today.

You are the only one who can choose to make that happen.

Life’s too short so go for it.
