Overcoming Limiting Beliefs

You are struggling with limiting beliefs—those nagging thoughts that tell you that you don’t have what it takes to live your dream, despite having a vision of yourself doing something great.

These limiting beliefs may stem from your family, your environment, or wherever they originated.

They are preventing you from taking action, and if you do not overcome these limiting beliefs, they will ultimately rob you of your potential. In this blog, we will discuss how to overcome your limiting beliefs so you can set yourself on the path to success.

What is a Limiting Belief?

A limiting belief is a psychological lie that tells you that you cannot accomplish something in life. It suggests that if you pursue your goals; you are limited; you lack potential; you lack talent.

When you believe in these limiting beliefs, they prevent you from going after the things you truly want.

You may have learned a limiting belief from your parents, teachers, or others—whatever the source, that limiting belief holds you back.

For example, if you grew up hearing that “money is the root of all evil,” you might develop the belief that pursuing wealth is inherently wrong.

This belief can create a barrier, making you resistant to seeking opportunities that could lead to financial success.

These thoughts reside in your mind, telling you that you’re not good enough and that you’re not worthy. It’s a big lie that keeps you from taking action to discover what you can accomplish in this world.

Limiting beliefs are detrimental to achieving more in life, and if you want to start living your dream, you must begin confronting these limiting beliefs.

Limiting Beliefs Confrontation

A limiting belief I had to confront was that my creativity was limited. This belief caused me to doubt my ability to start and sustain online motivational videos on my social media channels.

I feared I wouldn’t be able to create more than ten videos, so for several years, I did not start. I grew tired of that limiting belief dominating my life, so I confronted it by grabbing my phone and shooting videos. To my surprise, I quickly reached 100 videos.

Now, I’ve almost recorded 4,000 videos, and the only reason this happened is that I chose to confront my limiting belief.

Whatever limiting belief you have that tells you that you cannot do something, you must confront it.

What you will discover is that your limiting belief is lying to you. You will find out that you have what it takes to realize your dream, but that is only possible when you confront your limiting belief.

To help you with this, I have provided three key steps that will assist you in confronting your limiting beliefs so you can overcome them.

3 Key Steps To Overcoming Limiting Beliefs

1) Challenge your limiting beliefs by creating a specific plan of action that will enable you to confront them at a designated time and day, rather than vaguely stating that you will do so. When you’re not specific, you open the door to procrastination, allowing your limiting beliefs to remain in the driver’s seat of your life.

2) Replace limiting beliefs with beliefs that inspire action. Just changing a limiting belief to a positive one isn’t enough unless it leads to action. Without beliefs backed by action, you won’t gain confidence in them. So, make sure the new beliefs you create are focused on taking action.

3) Taking action based on your new beliefs is key to your transformation. You can’t overcome a limiting belief by just wishing; you need to act on your new belief to move past the old ones. This method helped me go beyond my belief that I could only create ten online videos, and I ended up making almost 4,000.

Conclusion

It’s time for you to overcome the big, fat lie of limiting beliefs so you can begin to break free from them and get on your path to success because You Are WORTHY TO BE GREAT!
