Limiting beliefs zap your energy and keep you stuck by telling you over and over again that you can't achieve your goals or that you're not worthy of acceptance and success.
The Top Ten Limiting Beliefs are:
- I'm too selfish/loud/shy
- I'm a bad.... (eg I'm a bad parent/friend/son)
- I will never be successful
- There is never enough money (or money doesn't grow on trees)
- It's too late for me to.... (change my career etc)
- I will never....(be successful, find love, travel etc)
- I always disappoint people
- I am not pretty/slim/clever enough
- I'm not good enough/I don't deserve...(happiness success, wealth, love)
- "I can't do it!"
In many cases, limiting beliefs are perceived as facts. Beliefs are not facts. Beliefs are your perception of the truth and perceptions can be changed.
Signs and symptoms of hidden Limiting Beliefs:
- You have negative thoughts or feelings more often than not
- Negative patterns keep repeating themselves - money problems, relationship problems, feelings of despair
Breaking up with your limiting beliefs
is the first step to a Baggage-Free Life.

The 4-Step Break-Up
Step One - Recognize and Acknowledge
Take a look at the top ten limiting beliefs list (top of post) and write down any that sound familiar to you. Take a look at your list and jot down ways they are negatively impacting your life - money, relationships, career, goals.
Now that you have identified your personal limiting beliefs and acknowledged how they impact your life, it's time to change them. Think of your limiting beliefs as your subconscious blueprint and blueprints can be changed so they reflect what you really want!
Step Two - It's Just Not True!
In fact, you need to recognize your limiting beliefs for the liars they are. Then you will see that you can edit or completely delete your limiting beliefs.
Say to yourself, "it's possible that I believe some things about myself and the world around me that are not true."
Great! You have successfully opened the door to let your new belief in.
Step Three - Everything is Replaceable
Time to replace the old negative limiting belief with a positive new enabling belief.
If you want to create permanent change, you can't just get rid of the old mental pattern, you have to replace it with a completely new one that will take its place.
Use positive words that focus your brain on possibility!
I Am - I Can - I Will - I Choose - I Am Willing To - My Potential
There is never enough money turns to:
I Choose to Improve My Finances
It's impossible for me to be happy changes to:
I Allow Myself to be Happy
Say your new positive enabling belief out loud. Does it feel true for you? Not quite..change it until it feels fabulous.
When you say it, you want to feel confident and ready to move forward with a positive mindset.
Step Four - Repetition and Reinforcement
Positive affirmations work by reprogramming your thinking to believe that what you want
is possible, attainable, and already happening.
My personal favourite affirmations are:
Every Day in Every Way, I'm Getting Better and Better
I Will Enjoy Every Minute of Every Day
I Am at Peace With My Decisions
I repeat these 3 times every morning before I get out of bed.
Write them down, say them out loud, sing them in the shower, know them off by heart so you can call upon them in a moment of self-doubt.
These are your new Positive Enabling Beliefs - Live Them!
