Self Limiting Beliefs – 3 Beliefs You Need To Ditch ASAP
Have some crappy self limiting beliefs? Here are 3 beliefs you need to ditch ASAP in order to move forward in life.
Let’s chat about limiting beliefs.
Have some crappy self limiting beliefs you’re holding onto?
Don’t worry they are permanent! But here are 3 beliefs you need to ditch ASAP!
Before we dive on in I want you to know that self limiting beliefs are normal but if you hold onto them forever they have the potential to be destructive and make you your own worst enemy.
If you happen to hold these self limiting beliefs, I want you to know that they may just be holding you back from achieving success, because they do a terrific job of blocking your path.
But they aren’t permanent. You can indeed learn to release your hold on them (and stop believing they are true!)
Today we’re going to discuss three of those beliefs and I’ll give you some great tools to help you to eliminate them from your life.
SELF LIMITING BELIEFS
1-You Don’t Have the Ability:
The first belief that stands in our way is the most common belief many people hold. It’s when we don’t truly believe that we have the ability to succeed.
If you think this is true for you, then guess what? Your results in life will reflect back to you this thought.
But even if you insist to me that this thought is true – BUT I DON’T HAVE THIS ABILITY YET – that’s not to say that you can’t DEVELOP the ability you need to achieve the goals you are after.
Maybe you don’t have that ability right now but that doesn’t mean you never will.
For example, there once was a woman who wanted to be a singer more than anything. The problem was, she couldn’t really carry a tune. Everyone told her that she wouldn’t ever be a singer because she lacked the ability.
You either had it or you don’t, they insisted. The woman however didn’t believe them, took lessons and practiced for about 10 years.
After a very long time, it finally clicked for her, and she was able to sing on key – maybe not perfectly, BUT SHE COULD SING A MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN WHEN SHE STARTED. Had she just believed it was impossible, she would have never improved, never given it a go and given up ahead of time.
You should look at all your abilities in the same way. Is there a possibility that you could improve, even if just by 1%?
Maybe you just need more time and instruction.
Or maybe you just need more practice and patience.
There is no rule in any rule book that says you need to be an expert ahead of time.
You can BECOME an expert via time, instruction, patience and practice.
So the simplest way to ditch this self limiting belief is to flip it on its head by thinking:
It’s possible that I can develop this ability in the future, even if I don’t have it right now.

2 – Why even bother? I’ll never succeed.
This self-limiting belief is much like the above one.
You shoot yourself in the foot before you even try and give it a go.
This is when you assume it’s impossible so you don’t even try.
This is when you’re focused on all the things that could go wrong rather than all the things that could go right.
Thinking this is true is simply holding you back in life.
When you think “why bother?”, then just imagine what it does inside your brain.
Your brain wants to give up and throw in the towel.
It decides “what’s the point then? I’m just going to fail anyway.”
This is a dead-end thought.
When you think it, it is likely that you aren’t opening yourself up to new ideas and inspiration.
Instead, you are letting negativity convince you that you’ll never succeed, when the truth is, you won’t ever find out what you’re capable of when you give up so early on your dreams.

3 – You Don’t Have the Determination:
Finally, you need to get rid of the belief that you do not have the determination to reach your goals and be successful.
There is one very simple way to combat this.
Believe you do.
Simply decide this is true.
Understand that if you believe you don’t have the determination, you don’t, and if you do have the determination, then you do. It is a conscious choice we make and it is YOUR choice, whether or not you have enough sticking power to reach your goals.
SELF LIMITING BELIEFS
So, remember, you can just decide the following is true:
You do have the ability
You should give it a go and
You’re determined to keep on going until you reach the success you desire and giving up is not an option.
Just decide these thoughts are true and take action from these three beliefs.
