A limiting belief is a self doubt that was created in the past that we continue to believe in the present.
Many limiting beliefs get programmed into our minds during childhood by our parents, a teacher, or a friend/caregiver.
If you have a limiting belief, you have consciously or subconsciously decided to believe something that is not good about yourself or what you are capable of.
A belief is something that you have convinced yourself to be true beyond a reasonable doubt.
You may know that a belief is not true and yet still believe it...
Most of our beliefs or not based on fact, they are either told to us or they are based on past experiences.
They donโt help us, instead they hold us back from reaching our dreams and living a happy life.
Our beliefs influence our thoughts, choices, and behavior.
To order to remove a limiting belief, the first step is to acknowledge that it exists.
Say it out loud.
The next step is to remember back to when this belief was created. It was most likely not a single event, but a combination of similar events.

Now come up with ways in which you may be wrong!
Tell yourself out loud that the example/s you thought of did not make you what you believe you are. Create your positive affirmation:

Obviously, it isn't as simple as saying a positive affirmation and then you just magically believe it.
Instead, you are retraining yourself by getting in the habit of questioning your limiting beliefs and trying out new beliefs.
It helps to write them down and say them out loud.
Write down your limiting belief, and then come up with 3-5 possible alternatives to that belief.
This forces you to see that not all of your beliefs are facts, but that you have options.
You are choosing what to believe, in each and every moment, even if you donโt realize it.
Realize that your limiting belief may just be one of many interpretations of the events that led you to create this limiting belief.
The most important step is to now put your new belief into action.
