Do you have limiting beliefs that hold you back from achieving your goals? (Quick hint - we ALL do!) Limiting beliefs are negative thoughts or assumptions that you have about yourself, others, or the world that prevent you from taking action or pursuing your dreams. For example, you may have limiting beliefs such as: - I'm not good enough - I don't have what it takes - I don't deserve success - I'm too old/young/inexperienced - It's too hard/risky/competitive - I don't have enough time/money/resources - People will judge/reject/criticize me - (Insert YOUR variation of one of these here) Limiting beliefs can be very powerful and convincing, especially when they are rooted in your past experiences, traumas, or conditioning. They can make you feel stuck, frustrated, or hopeless, and sabotage your progress and happiness. However, limiting beliefs are not fact. They are just thought patterns or perspectives that you have adopted over time, and they can be changed- in as little as 7 minutes a day. You have the power to overcome your limiting beliefs and create a new reality for yourself. At QMG we use state-of-the-art technology to assist you to make these changes, however anyone can do it- Here are some steps that you can take to get started: 1. Identify your limiting beliefs. The first step is to become aware of the limiting beliefs that you have and how they affect your life. You can do this by reflecting on your goals and challenges, and noticing the negative thoughts and feelings that come up. You can also ask yourself questions such as: - What do I want to achieve or change in my life? - What is stopping me from doing that? - What do I believe about myself, others, or the world that makes me feel this way? - Where did these beliefs come from? How did I learn them? - How do these beliefs serve me or protect me? - How do these beliefs limit me or hurt me? Write down your answers and be honest with yourself. You may discover that you have more than one limiting belief, or that they are interconnected. For example, you may have a limiting belief that you are not good enough, which leads to another limiting belief that you don't deserve success, which leads to another limiting belief that people will judge you if you try. 2. Challenge your limiting beliefs. The next step is to question the validity and accuracy of your limiting beliefs. You can do this by looking for evidence that contradicts or disproves them, or by finding alternative explanations or perspectives that are more positive and empowering. You can also ask yourself questions such as: Is this belief true? How do I know? What are the facts or data that support or refute this belief? What are some examples or situations where this belief is not true or does not apply? What are some positive outcomes or benefits that could happen if this belief is not true or does not apply? What are some other ways of looking at this situation or myself that are more helpful or realistic? What would I say or do if someone else had this belief? Write down your answers and challenge your limiting beliefs with logic and reason. You may find that your limiting beliefs are based on assumptions, generalizations, distortions, or emotions, and that they are not as true or as strong as you thought. 3. Replace your limiting beliefs with empowering beliefs. The final step is to create new beliefs that support your goals and aspirations, and that make you feel confident and motivated. You can do this by using positive affirmations, statements, or mantras that express what you want to believe or achieve, and that are in the present tense, as if they are already true. You can also ask yourself questions such as: - What do I want to believe or achieve instead of this limiting belief? - What are some positive qualities or strengths that I have or can develop? - What are some opportunities or possibilities that are available to me or that I can create? - What are some actions or steps that I can take to move closer to my goals or desired outcomes? - How will I feel or benefit when I achieve my goals or desired outcomes? Write down your answers and craft your empowering beliefs. Make sure that they are specific, realistic, and meaningful to you. For example, instead of saying "I am good enough", you can say "I am good enough to pursue my passion and share my gifts with the world". Instead of saying "I deserve success", you can say "I deserve success because I work hard and add value to others". Instead of saying "People will judge me", you can say "People will respect me for following my dreams and being authentic". 4. Repeat and reinforce your empowering beliefs. Here's the magic dust - The last step is to practice and internalize your empowering beliefs until they become your new reality. You can do this by repeating them to yourself daily, preferably in the morning and at night, or whenever you need a boost of confidence or motivation. You can also do this by writing them down, visualizing them, or saying them out loud. You can also do this by taking action and behaving in ways that are consistent with your empowering beliefs, and by celebrating your achievements and progress. You can also do this by surrounding yourself with positive and supportive people who share or encourage your empowering beliefs, and by avoiding or limiting your exposure to negative and toxic people who undermine or challenge your empowering beliefs. By following these steps, you can overcome your limiting beliefs and achieve your goals. Remember that changing your beliefs is not a one-time event, but a continuous process that requires awareness, commitment, and practice. You may encounter some resistance or setbacks along the way, but don't give up or give in to your limiting beliefs. Instead, use them as opportunities to learn, grow, and improve. You have the power to change your mindset and your life. You just have to believe it. 💯 Want more support? Find out about our Personal Activation System workshops
