Get Rid of Limiting BeliefsIt often happens that our own limiting beliefs hold us back from achieving the things in life we really want. Our beliefs about ourselves often comes from other people like our parents, teachers, friends, family, media and religion. A limiting believe can be formed by remarks like “What a stupid answer”, “You will never be able to do that”, you are not exactly an oil painting” If you know what these beliefs are it is easy to control it. Try to go back in time and see where the believe was formed. Write down 6 things you daily confess that you can’t do. Things like “I can’t start my own business”, “I can’t work with or manage people” or “I can’t stop smoking” Then
ask yourself: Now cross out the ‘t and use the same sentences as affirmations to overcome your limiting beliefs. In the end you can control the way you feel, you can control the way you think and you can control your own destiny. You must always remember that you become what you think of most of the time. If you think that your life is a mess all the time, guess what – It will be one! Stop thinking about negatives things, stop harboring your limiting beliefs. It is because you believe your self limiting beliefs that it is controlling your life today. Here is a little exercise that I find very helpful: When ever during the day you think of something negative, STOP right there and think of anything positive. Think about your last visit to the waterfall, the weekend next to the beach, anything positive. These positive thoughts will drive away the negative thoughts. When you get this negative thought and you do not stop it right there in its tracks, you will probably let it dwell in your head for hours and hours to come. This will have a negative influence on everything you do and cause more negative things to happen to you.
