Step 1: Identify Your Limiting Beliefs
Write down the thoughts that hold you back or make you feel stuck.
Limiting Belief | How Does This Belief Limit Me? |
I’m not good enough. | It stops me from trying new opportunities. |
Step 2: Challenge the Narrative
Question the validity of each belief to weaken its power.
- Is this belief 100% true?
- What evidence do I have that contradicts this belief?
- Where did this belief come from?
Common Sources of Limiting Beliefs:
- Family and Upbringing: Messages you received as a child can shape your core beliefs.
- Society and Culture: Social norms and cultural expectations may reinforce self-doubt.
- Past Experiences: Failures or criticisms can lead to internalized negative beliefs.
- Fear and Self-Protection: Beliefs may form as a defense mechanism to avoid discomfort or rejection.
- Media Influence: Unrealistic standards and narratives from media can shape your self-image.
Step 3: Reframe with Empowering Beliefs
Transform each limiting belief into a positive and supportive statement.
Limiting Belief | Empowering Belief |
I’m not good enough. | I am capable and continuously improving. |
Step 4: Take Empowered Action
Identify one action you can take to reinforce your new empowering belief.
Empowering Belief | Action Step |
I am capable and continuously improving. | Take on a new challenge and track my progress. |
