Your beliefs are largely the rules of your life. These are rules that free you to achieve things in your life and live the way you think is important. These rules may also limit or hold you back, or they may even create the belief that you are inadequate to achieve your goals. Or they may prevent you from being accommodating with someone. I wonder how many of you have already started to lose sight of your new year's goals or resolutions.
Your beliefs may well be affecting the degree of your success. I believe in gravity, and I'm guessing you do too. Gravity is not affected or changed by my belief in any aspect, shape or form. But our relationships, abilities, and possibilities are influenced by our beliefs about them.
We form our beliefs through our experiences and then apply them as if they were absolute truths. In a sense, they are prophecies that satisfy us. If you think you are a lovable person, you act this way; Approach people with openness and enjoy being with them. They will approach you moderately and thus confirm your belief.
We think that beliefs are formed by experiences, but equally experiences are formed by beliefs. So this means that you can choose your beliefs.
The belief that beliefs can be changed is in itself challenging for many people. Because they see beliefs as a property they own. People talk about “having” beliefs, “losing” them, or “gaining” them. No one wants to “lose” anything. Instead of “losing,” it would be better to say leaving or giving up when talking about them.
Furthermore, we all have a personal investment in our own beliefs. They begin to make sense to us when the world validates them, they are then predictable and give us a sense of security and certainty. We may even take a perverse pleasure in guessing; How many of you said “I told you so” and found that a satisfying sentence? Not because you want something to go wrong, but because your beliefs turn out to be true…
S� Limiting beliefs are the main culprits that prevent us from achieving our goals and living our dreams. They act like rules that stop us from reaching the potential that exists within us, and we have so much potential that we don't touch enough…
Then think carefully about this question: “What is stopping you from reaching your goal?” And you'll often find that the answer is your limiting beliefs.
Early limiting beliefs come from parents, teachers, or influential people in childhood whose opinions we deemed valuable enough to believe. These early beliefs often remain latent and we do not develop them as adults. We also acquire limiting beliefs from the press. In TV series like Tomorrow, characters have to act within ridiculous limiting beliefs (to pass the time). Here are some incredibly common limiting beliefs:
“There is no gain without pain”
“I can't understand anyone”
“You can't overcome a bad start in life”
“I'm too old to start learning computers”
“I'll never get what I'm after”
“Other people are better than me”
“I'll reach my limits I have achieved it”
“I have to work hard to have enough money to live”
“Success takes a very long time”
Beliefs like these are true if you treat them as if they were true. . Consider them wrong. What difference would it make?
In the process of achieving your goals, sometimes just clarifying your existing limiting beliefs and recognizing their effects can be enough to get rid of them. This way, you can change and update your own reality.
In my experience, the vast majority of people are not aware of their limiting beliefs. Then the first step is to verbalize or write them down. This way they are exposed, can be examined, and then let go. There are two easy ways to do this:
The first is to ask yourself the reasons why you are not achieving your goal right now. What do you think is holding you back? Ask yourself this question and answer it thoroughly. The answer will reveal what you perceive as your limit. Again First of all, these beliefs will be about you rather than the world. They can be changed or updated as they become relevant to you.
People are rarely honest with themselves when they ask these questions in their own minds, so here's a technique to discover limiting beliefs if they exist:
First my name; Write down an important goal on a piece of paper. Take a good look at it and really think about it.
Second step; As you think about this goal, evaluate and score each sentence below. Give a score out of 10 for each proposition. A score of 1 indicates that you do not believe it, and a score of 10 indicates that you believe it without a doubt:
I deserve to achieve my goal.
I have the necessary skills and abilities to achieve my goal.
My goal is clear and well defined.
My goal is something that I desire.
My goal is worth pursuing.
Look at the lowest scoring answers from your answers and start exploring them. Low scores indicate a limiting belief and draw attention to it or indicate that you haven't thought enough about that goal. This can be wonderfully illuminating. If you have discovered doubt in some parts of your goal, now ask yourself the reasons for the doubt or think about what makes you doubt?
