June 24, 2016

I hear you saying, "But I can't have that (fill in the blank), because (fill in the excuse)." How about "I'm too _____ to ever be good at _____."

Some of these beliefs about yourself are a little less logical but just as limiting. "He never listens to me." "She's not will to do this or that for me." Your story could be drastically changed with some simple challenging questions.

I want to give you something special today and this is about limiting beliefs.
Limits You May Have Set and Believe
You know those things where you say, "Oh, I am not good at this." Or "I have never done this, so I don't know how.”

We have decided, "Well this is the way it is." "I am not smart." "I'm not smart enough to do this." "I am not good at Math"; whatever the case is.

These things don't have to be that way, those are just a story that you are telling yourself. Now I have posted some other posts on this before, please go ahead and check them out, I will try to put the list down below this post.

So here goes.
1. Identify It and Ask This Question
Take a pen and paper and write down that belief, whatever it is. Let's say for example, you are working towards a holiday. "Oh, I can't take a break."

The first question in that case is: Is that true? You are going to be tempted to say yes, it's impossible to think of it in any other way. Just answer the question,
