4 STEPS TO TRANSFORM LIMITING BELIEFS INTO EMPOWERING BELIEFS
Most of our limiting beliefs come from our childhood experiences & seemingly innocent things our parents, teachers, or coaches told us.
But these simple statements actually did more harm than good on our self-confidence, self-worth, and self-esteem.
Here are some examples:
“Money doesn’t grow on trees.”
↪️ I'll never be rich.
“Children should be seen and not heard.”
↪️ I need to be quiet if I want to be loved.
“Eat everything on your plate. There are children out there starving.”
↪️ I should eat everything even if I'm not hungry.
“Act like a lady.”
↪️ It's not okay to act playful.
“Boys don’t cry.”
↪️ It's not okay to share my feelings or sadness.
“No one wants your opinion.”
↪️ I need to stay quiet, my ideas and thoughts don't matter.
Sound familiar?
So here's how to change that:
Identify your limiting beliefs (what are you telling yourself?)
Analyze how they impact you
Choose how you’d rather be, act, or feel
Create a turnaround statement and use it as an affirmation
Examples:
“I’m a terrible mother and yell too much.”
Turnaround ↪️: I am a loving mother who is patient and easygoing.
“I’m not interesting enough to make money online or grow a following.”
Turnaround ↪️: I am witty and funny, people love following me.
“No one wants to join my team, I’m not good at this.”
Turnaround ↪️: I am a charismatic leader and attract my ideal team members.
Then REPEAT those affirmations daily.
The subtle force of repetition overcomes our reason. It penetrates the depths of our subconscious minds and makes us believe whatever it is we are telling ourselves.
And remember, our thoughts become our realities.
