4 Tips On How To Change Limiting Beliefs

Changing limiting beliefs will change your life!
Ever wonder what holds you back from your dreams, a great relationship, the perfect job, and/or financial freedom? Limiting beliefs keep you from the success you desire.

What is a limiting belief? A limiting belief is a negative thought, conscious or unconscious that is thought over and over again. They are weeds in your mind’s garden. Just as in a flowerbed, weeds limit the potential other plants have to grow. If allowed to grow unchecked, they will take over! Self-limiting beliefs if left unchecked will take over your journey to success time and time again.

We acquire most of our beliefs unconsciously. Once it’s accepted and imprinted on the subconscious mind, it requires a conscious effort to be mindful of our thoughts, speech and action. Here are some tips that will get you started.

Tip 1. Check in with your emotions
Accept what you are feeling and the accompanying belief without judgment or trying to change it. This is you becoming the observer of you. This creates a space between you and that belief. You are not that belief. It is a thought that you have decided is a truth in your life.

Write out on a piece of paper what that limiting belief is and how it feels. Next, write out a new belief on a separate piece of paper; one that empowers and excites you. After that, burn or shred the paper with the old limiting belief. Physically shredding or burning the paper is a powerful affirmation stating that you are no longer accepting this thought as “true”. Now take the new belief and read it aloud daily. Feel the excitement and pleasure it brings you. The key word is to feel it. These rich feelings will draw the things you desire into your life, now that the conflict is gone.

Tip 2. Release, Let go and Break the cycle.
Challenge the limiting belief by asking these questions. Is this really true? Could I let this feeling go? (Are you capable of letting go)? Would you let it go? (Are you able to) and When? (Decide to do it now) Repeat this process until you feel relief about the limiting belief.

Tip 3. Emotional Freedom Technique
Is a breakthrough method developed by Gary Craig, personal performance coach, in the early 1990’s.Gary has dedicated his life to teaching people how to overcome emotional and physical blocks to success.

EFT is a type of energy psychology. It accesses the body’s energy system to relieve
emotional stress, physical pain, trauma and limiting beliefs. When these disruptions to your body’s energy field are removed, you are back in balance. It’s similar to using acupuncture except without the needles! Using a simple finger-tapping sequence that stimulates your body’s energy system, you remove blocks, disruptions and limiting beliefs with in the body’s energy field.

Tip 4. What We Believe We Achieve
Mike Dooley says, “Thoughts become things.” Have you ever noticed those who, no matter what the outward circumstances look like, always have a positive attitude? It seems that no matter what they are faced with, they come out on top? They understand that life if full of Infinite Possibilities. Changing your thoughts and perceptions will create change within your life. It’s the classic seeing the cup as half full vs. half empty view. You have a choice on how to look at it. These same people understand that there are principles at play in your life that can be identified, understood and harnessed.

Limiting beliefs are akin to a computer virus. They will undermine your success. They lead you to self-sabotaging behavior and actions. They limit you. Identifying and acknowledging these beliefs is the first step in releasing them. As you change your limiting beliefs, your world will transform. You will embark on the journey of a lifetime, your lifetime. You will experience joy, peace, love, fulfillment and freedom.
