The voices in the back of your mind that tell you that you are not good enough. Or that your idea is CRAP! Well, that is what's commonly known these days as limiting beliefs.
Who has them? Just about everyone.
Why do we have them? It's a way for our subconscious to try and protect us.
It's a fear based reality that is not real. It's just something that is in our head sometimes that is trying to keep us from harm.
It's something that is passed down to us. Mostly from our elders as children. It's something that we grew up listening to and regrettably believing. I know I did.
So, how do we change them? That is the question I hope you want to ask yourself?
Did you ever have a parent tell you that your idea was not good enough? Or silly? Well, that is part of limiting beliefs. Limiting beliefs are just the thoughts that we keep telling ourselves over & over.
They are just stories that we repeat over & over in our head. Have they done you any good up to this point in life?? If you are still wanting for something and are not getting it, then NO! They are not!
Should we listen to that voice?? Hell to the NO!!
If you want to live the life that you feel you are drawn to, you have to get past the limiting beliefs. You have to step out of your comfort zone, I have learned, to allow for growth!
It's the only way that you are ever gonna live the life that you want to live.
I have learned that those niggling desires that we have for MORE or a better life, are inside of us because that is what God/universe (source- whatever you call it personally. I call it God!) wants for us. But we have to do the work to get past our limiting beliefs and LET GO.. and ALLOW in order to receive all the abundance that is within reach!!
So, how do you get past your limiting beliefs that you are hearing on the daily? How can you overcome these indoctrinated beliefs that you were raised on? I know it seems hard. But if you want the life that you keep dreaming about, you have to be willing to face this shit head on!! That's what I am doing & that is why I am sharing on here. Because anything that I feel is helping me, you are going to hear about it. Sharing is Caring.. lol
What are some questions that you can ask yourself when a limiting belief pops into your head?
What are some ways that you can get un-stuck? Get past these freakin beliefs that are NOT helping you to go forward and to live the life that you want to live...
You have to BELIEVE that you are worthy of all the blessings that God/universe wants to give you. And YOU ARE WORTHY! WE ALL ARE!
Here are a few questions that I have been using myself when that voice starts up in the back of my mind..
*Why do I believe this certain thought?
*What does it keep telling me? IS it really true? Or is it just fear based?
*How does this thought benefit me? Does it really benefit me?
*Where did the source of this thought come from? Did a parent teach me this is the way to be? Did a teacher tell you something they believed to be true? Think back to when you first started thinking this way.
*How can I change this thought to serve me better? How can I prove that this belief is not true??
For example if you have a limiting belief around money. I use this as an example because it is something that I am working thru myself.
I have always had the thought that you have to work so hard and for long periods of time to survive! (This one thought has totally affected the way I have lived my life for a very long time. And I am so glad that I have learned that I need to change it)
Ok, I am going to answer my own questions to give you an idea of how you can change your own limiting beliefs.
Mine are my past beliefs about money. I say past because I now know that they are just a story that I have been told and kept telling myself for the longest of times. And it def has not served me!
*Why do I believe this certain thought? My thought is money is hard to attain.
Why do I believe that money is hard to attain? And that I have to work hard just to survive?
Because that is what I was shown & told as a child. My parents lived the scarcity mindset, therefore it was passed on to me.
*What does it keep telling me? That you have to work your ass off all the time just to make a living. IS it really true? No. I have seen countless examples of the contrary. These days people are killin it online and in other areas of their career without having to work long, hard hours. They are thriving. Therefore I know it is possible. Some people even make passive income!!
Is it fear-based? Yes I think it is. It's a safety net for me to stay in my comfort zone. And to work at the same ole job, doing the same thing because I know what I'm doing and I know I will get a certain amount of money on payday.
*How does this thought benefit me? It doesn't. It keeps me stuck in what I already know and in my comfort zone.
*Where did this source of thought come from? From my parents and everyone else I saw struggling back when I was growing up as a child.
*How can I change this thought to serve me better? I can change my thought of "money is hard to attain to" ---
Money is just energy. Money is abundant in many different ways. It is an unlimited resource that I just have to tap into. I know I have to change my thoughts in order to open myself up to receive!
*How can I prove that this belief is not true? I have already proved it to myself by manifesting money previously. Therefore I KNOW that it really is an unlimited resource that I have to learn to keep tapping into.
I have to change the way I think about money/abundance. I have to change the way I feel about it, my belief altogether! (And luckily, I AM!)

It's really about reframing your negative thoughts into a more positive thought that serves you better. Negative thoughts do NOT serve us period. They do nothing but bring us down. I know you can't be positive all of the time.
But if you can just stop yourself, observe the thought that you are having, and change it.. This is what I do sometimes when I catch myself having these negative thoughts. Actually, I have been getting pretty good at this. I am just glad that I catch myself doing it. And realize that it's just fear based.
That is the first step to changing my thoughts altogether.. the ability to realize that I am thinking negatively while it is happening!
When I catch myself thinking negatively.. I say out loud "STOP! I hear you & I know you are only trying to protect me, but everything is fine. There is nothing to fear here." And then I change my thought to one that better serves me!
Example; "Oh, I know today is gonna suck at work.." I say to myself "STOP! I know that a lot of days feel sucky, but today I am going to have the best day ever!!!
You choose to be happy! You choose to let people get to you.. You react to life..
Well, wouldn't you rather participate in life and ACT! Instead of just going thru life re-acting to everyone else and everything else..
You make your own beliefs from now on!!! You can create your reality the way that you want to live. So I choose to live abundantly, happily, joyful & at peace with myself!!
It's all about doing the inner work..
If you can change the way you think on the inside, it will change the way you see things on the outside.. It will literally change the way you see things on the outside.
You can change your world..
You just have to WANT TO DO IT BAD ENOUGH.
Wait until you hit rock bottom and get really freakin tired of living the way you are living!!
You will make some changes!!!
That's what happened to me.. and that is what has started me on this journey of awakening.. And really seeing life for all that it is.. And seeing myself for the spirit that lives inside of this physical body!! There is so much work to be done still.. But you have to want to start..
You have to decide that you want to LIVE this life.. Not just SURVIVE & REACT TO LIFE..
I have a quote on my desk that I really love.. I read it every single day. I try to implement it as much as possible..
And it goes something like this "If you want different results-- you have to DO something DIFFERENT!"
If you keep doing the same thing over & over again, that is what you are going to keep getting.. The same THING over & over again.. So in order to change that, you have to do something different!!
I know that stepping out of my comfort zone has helped me a lot and so has trying new things. Yes, I do this in small doses.. lol.. it takes some time to build up the courage sometimes to step out of your comfort zone.. Because, well, we are humans.. we like to be comfortable.. but when you finally do step outside of your comfort zone, it's an AWESOME feeling!! It makes you feel proud of yourself and it shows you that YES, YOU CAN DO IT!!
So I leave you with this to think about..
Do you want more in life?
What are you doing about it?
Are you doing anything?
Or are you just sitting there going thru life surviving, doing the same things over & over, expecting to see different results..
You are not going to see anything different until you take the first step and DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.. change your thoughts...
Change the story that you are telling yourself!!! And see if you don't get different results!
I would love to connect with you.. Please feel free to comment or connect with me on social media. I am everywhere.. And I would love to talk to you.. Love & Light my friends!
As always,
xoxo
