We all try to overcome limiting beliefs. We all have limiting beliefs and paradigms that prevent us from achieving our goals. In this blog post, I will share 5 steps on how to overcome these roadblocks. Believe it or not, it is possible to change your beliefs and paradigms, but it requires effort and commitment.
Are you ready to get started?
We live in three worlds: Thoughts, feelings and emotions.
Your thoughts create your beliefs.
You have certain beliefs in your mind that hold you back from living your fullest life. These beliefs could be about anything… money, career, skills, competition… you name it.
You might think: “I’m not good enough”, “I don’t deserve to be wealthy”, or “He/she’s out of my league.”
Limiting beliefs are often get installed in our minds by our well-meaning family, friends, media, or society from a young age as our environment has an influence too.
And while it may not be your fault that these beliefs exist in your mind, it is your responsibility to become aware of them and then replace them.
Every time you feel that something internal is holding you back, do the following…

5 Steps to overcome limiting beliefs
1. Name Your Limiting Beliefs
Use sentence completion to have your subconscious mind fill in the blank.
Write down “I am afraid that___.” and finish the sentence 10 times.
These are your limiting beliefs that hold you back.
2. Face Your Limiting Beliefs
Under each of your limiting beliefs, you want to write 4-6 ‘reasons why’ you fear those things. Really go deep within and stretch yourself.
This is digging into the core of these issues and is often more surprising than the beliefs themselves.
It does require you to be honest with yourself.
3. Disprove Your Limiting Beliefs
Under each of your limiting beliefs, write down as many points of evidence to the contrary as you can.
Go for at least five per limiting belief. Or keep going until you can dig no more.
Think of everything in your life (no matter how big or small it may seem) that stands in contrast to your old limiting belief and make note of them.
4. Write Your New Empowered Belief
Reference the old belief briefly, and then in a realistic but compelling manner, state the new empowered belief for each of your limiting beliefs.
Ex. “Although I sometimes think I don’t deserve success, I know that I will be successful in my new business. Whenever I have put mind to it, I have been able to accomplish great things with ease.”
Our perceptions are just that… perceptions. Ask your self why do you think these are real? Are there not people who have overcome these? If so what might they have done?
When we can bring balance to a perception we are then in a space to choose the next steps. It’s like thinking of your limiting belief as a negative… then looking for the opposite to that belief, because the opposite of what you believe is also true. This is what creates dualistic thinking. Its like reversing your mind and training it to find the blessing in what you perceive to be negative and vice versa.
Its like the light inside the dark and the dark inside the light just as you can see on the symbol of a ying/yang.
5. Repeat as Needed
Although one session is usually enough to give you clarity, it can be helpful to repeat this process multiple times during the next few days and weeks to really cement the change in your thinking.
Use your new beliefs as mantras, and over time they will become your new overriding beliefs.
Remember Napolian Hill said “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.“
