Theme of the Week: What are your limiting beliefs?

“Man is made or unmade by himself. In the armory of thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself. He also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace.” — James Allen

This week I want to bring attention to your limiting beliefs. Limiting beliefs create disempowerment. What are your self limiting beliefs and how can you change them? Why does this matter? Because…

“Nobody will believe in you unless you believe in yourself.” — Liberace

I’ve said it before and I will say it again, there are no things you can’t do, only things you won’t do. So once you’ve acknowledged that you have some limiting beliefs that might be causing you pain physically emotionally, and spiritually, even unconsciously, you can begin to become empowered by seeking information on how to change these beliefs.

When you believe "I can do it," the "how to do it" develops. - David Schwartz



6 Common Limiting Beliefs

1) Lack of Self Worth: “I am stupid,” “I am not –fill in the blank- enough.” Negative self talk and feelings of worthlessness can lead to depression.

2) Self Hatred: “I hate myself.” It is far easier to focus your love and attention on friends and family than to acknowledge that you love yourself.

3) Victimhood: Believing that any misfortune you suffer is the result of life circumstances, genes, past behaviors, family, and others’ moods etc. Occurs on the emotional level.

4) External Validation: Believing that other people know what is best for you. Here it is easy to lose sight of your inner strength and lose self confidence.

5) Other People’s Emotions: Believing you are responsible for other peoples emotions and reactions…. Another form of victimhood

6) Self Denial: Believing that your needs and desires are not of paramount importance. When you believe this you are literally giving away all your energy to others and you have nothing left for yourself.

For more on these limiting beliefs as well as a great intro to the world of energy, check out Bente Hanson’s book The New World of Self Healing.

“There is only one cause of unhappiness: the false beliefs you have in your head, beliefs so widespread, so commonly held, that it never occurs to you to question them.” Anthony de Mello
