Hi there

Often in life, it is our own self-imposed limitations which hold us back the most.

I'm convinced there's never a better time than right now to identify and challenge those beliefs and embark on a transformative journey towards personal growth and success.

What is a limiting-belief?

A limiting belief is a belief someone holds which is not necessarily true and/or prevents them from doing things which they would like or need to do.

These limiting beliefs may be self-generated or even "gifted" by significant others or other external influences.

We all have them to a greater or lesser extent.

Self-confident and emotionally intelligent people work hard to limit them and their unhelpful effects.

Solution strategy:

There's never a "one size fits all" answer to any of life's problems. I wish there was.

What I can offer you is a workable 3-step strategy for dealing with limiting beliefs.

Step 1: Identify Your Limiting Beliefs

Take a moment to reflect on the thoughts and beliefs that have been holding you back.

Are you telling yourself that you're not capable, not deserving, or not talented enough?

Are you telling yourself that you can't or shouldn't succeed, that people will laugh at you or hate you, or that you don't have any time, energy or resources?

What else are you telling yourself which is counter-productive?

These limiting beliefs, and many others like them, can create huge barriers in your life. They can prevent you from being happy, reaching your goals and living your dreams.

Step 2: Take a limiting belief and begin to work on it

Select an identified limiting belief.

I recommend working on a minor one first to get your techniques and mindsets working well. You can build up to the big ones later on. It's totally up to you of course.

Begin to notice when your self-limiting thoughts appear.

When they do, immediately challenge them, reject them then replace them with more empowering thoughts and mindsets.

Start to believe in yourself more.

Recognize your strengths and capabilities.

Understand that any failure is simply a stepping stone towards greater success.

By shifting your thoughts and mindsets, you can unlock a world of possibilities and achieve what you once thought was impossible.

Step 3: Create a growth environment

Create better conditions for more growth.

Surround yourself with like-minded positive people and inspiring groups who will support your growth journey.

Seek out coaches and mentors who can guide and inspire you along the way.

Invest in personal development resources such as books, courses, or workshops to expand your knowledge and skills.

Bonus step: Always celebrate your wins

As you progress on this transformative path, celebrate each milestone achieved.

Celebrate every time you get a win, big or small.

Celebrate every time you replace a limiting belief with an empowering one.

Acknowledge how far you've come and use it as fuel to keep pushing forward.

Remember, every positive step you take counts towards breaking free from those limiting beliefs.

Always believe in yourself 100%

********************

So, don't let limiting beliefs hold you back any longer.

Embrace the non-limiting belief that you are capable of achieving anything you set your mind to.

Start your journey towards a life without limitations today.

Hopefully that's offered you some food for thought.

​

All the very best to you and yours
