Crushing Limiting Beliefs: What’s Holding You Back?

Welcome to a new series I’ve been thinking about for a while. Over the next couple of months, I’ll be sharing about crushing your limiting beliefs!  I believe this series of articles has the potential to change your life in so many ways. By the end, you will be a completely different person. Why? Because the stories we tell ourselves matter.

Limiting beliefs are conscious or subconscious beliefs that hold you back in some way. They are ideas that limit you. Thoughts that keep you from reaching your full potential.

These beliefs are often burned deeply into us and they restrict us from blooming into who we were truly meant to be.

All of us have limiting beliefs. Sometimes these beliefs originate in our childhood, instilled into us by our parents or friends. Other times these beliefs are the result of trauma we experience. Sometimes there is no obvious explanation for where these beliefs come from.

Whatever the case, these beliefs are damaging to us. They keep us from achieving our hopes, dreams, and goals. They make us fearful and hesitant. They stop us from taking action. They even affect our relationships with others.

If we wish to achieve our true potential, we must destroy the limiting beliefs that are holding us back. Let’s start by doing a little soul searching and identifying what beliefs you have. Download the Introduction Worksheet to get started now. 

We must be set free from the lies and falsehoods that we believe, both about ourselves and about the world. We must learn to see things as they truly are rather than as we think they are.

Brian Tracy said, “You begin to fly when you let go of self-limiting beliefs and allow your mind and aspirations to rise to greater heights.”

If we truly want to fly in life, to rise to our true potential, to fly to great heights, then we must leave behind the limiting beliefs that hold us back.

We’ll talk about common ideas around limiting belief, how to rewrite the limiting belief into one that empowers you, specific action steps to take, and affirmations that will help destroy the limiting belief and instill your new, empowering belief.

Each of these lessons contains important action tips to help you learn and use these valuable strategies. Be sure to go through all the lessons with an open mind and try out the techniques. Remember, nothing happens until you take action.
