Busting Through Limiting Beliefs
Do you recognize your limiting beliefs? You know that tiny voice we often try to ignore? The one we pretend we really didn’t hear. That voice that says “No you don’t deserve this, No you’re not worthy of that.” “No you’re not smart enough or pretty enough or talented enough?” The problem with trying to pretend you didn’t hear those very real thoughts is that, hear them or not, they’re going to getcha! Those thoughts that you may be trying to ignore are brought on by your deeply held and often times subconscious limiting beliefs. Ignoring them is tantamount to shoving something under the rug.
Think of it this way. If you don’t like something and you decide to hide it from yourself by shoving it under the rug what happens? Sooner or later you’re going to trip and fall on your ever lovin a… ! And that’s exactly how ignoring those limiting beliefs will affect you. Sooner or later they trip you up!
Watch my video to understand how those limiting beliefs are sabotaging your successful life
Understand your limiting beliefs
First you have to know what those deeply held beliefs are. That means getting familiar with the Observer - GO HERE to LEARN ABOUT THIS
If you’re really thinking you don’t know what those limiting beliefs are just take a look at your life. Are you satisfied with the life you’re now living? Now isn’t the time to get angry at me for saying that, or for you to get angry at yourself for creating those things. Now is the time to do something about it! It’s time to take ownership of your creation. Once you take responsibility for the things that have shown up in your life you’re ready to start looking at how you’ve manifested those things. You’re ready to start busting those limiting beliefs.
You’re not alone. Everyone has both conscious and unconscious beliefs about themselves and those beliefs either move them toward their goals or cause them to fail in achieving them.
Steps to Overcome Limiting Beliefs
1. Here are some pretty widely held limiting beliefs- recognize any?
- I’m not good enough
- I’m not good looking enough
- I’m not smart enough
- I don’t deserve that
- All marriages are doomed to failure
- I don’t have what it takes to make a good income
- They are going to find out I’m really a fraud
2. Start by finding a counter balance and flaws to the limiting belief
For example
You probably know at least one couple happily married and my guess is you know more than one.
When you decide you’re not good enough take a look at others who have what you want. Isn’t it true that many of them by your own judgment aren’t any better than you?
In the case of I’m not good looking enough ask yourself how many less than movie star attractive people have what you want? The answer is many.
3. Figure out where this belief came from
Start by repeating out loud the limiting belief. You may find yourself flooded with emotions and most importantly memories. Now in your imagination relive the memory, but this time as an impartial witness. You will notice that as the observer you’re not drawn into believing what has held you prisoner and limited your life.
Now take the time to think over your experience. Look at it from this new perspective. Chances are you’ll see that so much of your interpretation was erroneous and based on your point of view at that time. You’ll also see that the people responsible for installing the belief were simply limited themselves.
This is a process, but hey, what else are you going to do with your time? If we aren’t learning and growing then we’re stagnating. If you don’t change it, it’s not going to change. Now’s the time to take the bull by the horns and create the life you want!
Changing your beliefs changes your life.
One of my favorite teachers Dr. Wayne Dyer writes: http://www.beliefnet.com/Wellness/2004/03/How-To-Attract-Abundance.aspx#
When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. When you see the world as abundant and friendly, your intentions are genuine possibilities. They will, in fact, become a certainty, because your world will be experienced from the higher frequencies. In this first step, you’re receptive to a world that provides rather than restricts. You’ll see a world that wants you to be successful and abundant, rather than one that conspires against you.

Thanks for teaching us to question our beliefs. We all have negative beliefs, you’re right. Bringing those negative beliefs to my consciousness is a great idea! “You can’t make your garden grow until you mend the soil and pull the weeds.” I love the analogy. You are so right, you can’t get rid of negative beliefs if you don’t notice them as beliefs. And whose beliefs are they? mine? my parents? You can’t change them if you don’t know they are there. I’ve learned not to believe every thought I think. Thanks Lorane.
Thank you Michele for your thoughtful comment. You always see the deepest meaning and employ the lessons. Im so grateful for your words.
