Your 3-Step Plan to Overcoming Limiting Beliefs

Now that you have identified your personal limiting beliefs (April 15th post), it's time to change them.  Think of your limiting beliefs as your subconscious blueprint and blueprints can be changed so they reflect what you really want!

The first step is to understand what a limiting belief is and that it may not be true.

Just say to yourself, "it's possible that I believe some things about myself and the world around me that are not true."

Great!  You have successfully opened the door to let your new belief in.

The second step is really important:

Replace the old belief with a positive new one.

If you want to create permanent behaviour change, you can't just get rid of the old mental pattern, you have to replace it with a completely new one that will take its place.

You want to create a new path, create new tracks, otherwise the old one can come back.

The final step is repetition and reinforcement through affirmation.

The most powerful affirmations are worded to be immediate and personal.  Adding a phrase like 'quickly and easily' to the beginning or end of each affirmation helps to lift the pressure of having to 'make things happen.'

My personal favourite affirmations are: Every Day in Every Way, I'm Getting Better and Better My monthly income exceeds my monthly expenses quickly and easily I repeat these 3 times every morning before I get out of bed to enjoy my day. The primary way to get a new pattern into the unconscious part of your mind is through reinforcement and repetition.  Positive affirmations work by reprogramming your thinking and beliefs.  The way to get effective results is with constant repetition.   Affirmations train your subconscious to believe that what you want is possible, attainable, and already happening. Words are your most powerful tool - they can bring pain or happiness, forgiveness or anger/hatred.  You generate your own emotions through your choice of words.  Make sure that the words you tell yourself are helping you follow your dreams and your heart. My Success Recommendation:  write down your goals with corresponding success beliefs in the form of affirmations  and just keep repeating them. . Choose your new belief and then plant the seed through positive affirmations.
