Overcoming Limiting Beliefs
Did you know that one the biggest things holding you back could be your limiting beliefs?
What is a limiting belief you ask? Call them gremlins, negative thoughts, mindsets, excuses, things your parents told you were true, self talk, psychological blocks, obstacles — it’s all about the programming you have in your mind. These negative thoughts are self-destructive, cause stress, and keep you from having what you want. It causes us to dwell on the problem and we go into lock up mode. It stops our creative problem solving. It also keeps us stops the Law of Attraction from bringing you what we need to solve the problem.
Take a few minutes to ask yourself what beliefs you have that are holding you back in your life and business?
What are you telling yourself?
I’m not good at….
This is going to be hard to do…
I don’t deserve it…
I don’t know how…
No one cares…
I don’t have what it takes..
I’ll never be able to do it…
I’d be afraid to…
I can’t do it the right way…
It would take too much (time, money, energy etc)…
Now Ask Yourself This about Those Beliefs:
- Is this belief true?
- How does that thought make you react?
- Why do you hold onto this belief? What benefit do you gain?
- What is the cost of holding onto this belief?
- What could I achieve if I let go of this belief?
For every belief, there is a way to change your belief or design a strategy around it.
A powerful question to ask is “In what ways can I (fill in the blank)”
Hale Dwoskin in his book Sedona Method has a process he teaches for releasing limiting beliefs so you can experience emotional freedom and let go of anxiety and fear.
He invites you to get to a quiet space, really experience that belief in it’s fullness, then ask yourself these questions.
- Can you let this belief go?
- Will you let this belief go?
- When will you let this belief go?
Afterwards, you set this belief free in your mind. When I do this, I imagine tossing the belief up into the air, then it breaks up and turns into beautiful white butterflies. Find a “releasing” visualization that works for you.
Take some time to access what you believe and how you can reprogram your mind for success.
