When I 1st heard about Limiting Beliefs- I thought about it for a sec, and said to myself:
“I don’t have any”
But then as I started digging and learned to observe myself I discovered a lot of dirt.

This was many Moons ago, and now I clearly see how just One (that’s right)
Just one limiting belief is dictating your life. Or rather gives you,
your walls and ceiling for your being. (Invisible prison)

We’re not gonna dive deep into how they form- but as you probably can guess they form in
our early childhood (most of the time), or somewhere along the way to adulthood.

Each one of us has this deeply buried limiting belief about ourselves that is
like a core programing that everything derives from it.
So every decision you make it, every thought you have about yourself- the mind
gonna in split sec confirm vs that belief before you move, speak, do.
It happens so fast you won’t catch your mind doing it.

Example

Let’s go over my example:
I had (still some residue is there) Limiting Belief:
“I am not good enough”
But for the long-ass time I did not see it. It was buried soo deep.

How does it work?

If you have this particular belief about yourself, you will noticed thru this sign:
-Are you rejecting yourself before taking action?

For example:
You see a nice girl, you’d like to talk to her.
But your mind goes: “Nahh Dude, she probably wants taller/more handsome/older/someone with better job/ etc etc.”
Sound familiar?

Another one:
You are a part of something- like maybe sports team, or playing some computer game,
or some kind of club- can be anything- some activity you enjoy doing.
And there is ofc some people or a group that also does it- but they do it “better” than you.
And even tho they invite you, you feel like you’re not good enough to
be there, to join them.
Your mind goes:
“Nahh… 1st I need to learn this, figure out that, I don’t even have that skill or that tool,
they will laugh at me. They don’t need me- they doing fine without me”

And you’re boxing yourself small again and again- Honestly this shit is soo sad…
Bc I’ve been there, It hurts your soul soo much…
And deep down you know it, and there is comes that hollowing feeling in the chest-
like something is sucking parts of your soul inwards.

Another one:
You’re afraid to share some of your work. You move quietly, do stuff alone. (Sometimes is ok, but don’t hide forever)
(This one is a mix actually of “I am not good enough + fear of failure”)
You have talents and powers, but again- You see it someone already doing it-
“better than you” (ofc)
So You constrict yourself- or rather submit to your minds negative chatter.

Another one:
Someone complements you.
Your 1st reaction is to downplay it and give examples of others- doing it better (ofc)
“Hey i like they way you did that”
Your mind:
“Nahh it’s nothing. Anybody can do it”

If you’re reading this and you felt something. You are not alone Bro/Sis.
I know exactly how it feels.

So that limiting belief is like a command center, like a loop-
that everything has to be confirmed vs that belief before anything you do.
Like a source code that either rejects or confirms.

Use “I” very carefully

Start here
Please train yourself to use “I” very very carefully!
This is extremely powerful. Because, “I am that I am” -so when you state
something negative with “I” in it- you basically sending signal that you are that.
Please be very careful of the spells you cast on yourself.

And this is actually 1st very good practice to start with in the process of breaking
thru that Limiting belief.

Before we move on, let’s summarize what we got so far:
1st: Observe where you limiting yourself, when you reject yourself before the action.
Where you say NO, but that NO was felt in your body and it actually made you a bit sad.
That will help you uncover The ‘command center’- your core Limiting Belief.

2nd: Use “I” statements very carefully! Even tho your mind saying it- you DON’T VOICE IT!
Even you’re tired. Don’t say it out loud! Just swallow that negativity.
“I am” is a spell- and treat it like it! Use it wisely! Empower yourself instead of constrict.

CHALLENGE IT

Well, is it really a true?
Am I really not good enough- like all the time in every single situation?
Or life is much more moldable and ever changing, maybe
that one isolated incident or comment is not worth holding so tightly?

Am I just isolating couple events and ignoring all others that are
completely invalidating that belief?
Can I find counter examples that can invalidate this limiting statement

And I bet that you can!
Millions of counter examples, but your mind, your ego choses to be blind to those.
Because it would like you to keep you that way- small and constricted
– it’s survival depends on it
Check out EGO post here

I bet that when you have found some counter examples and challenge that limiting belief,
it started to feel lighter in your chest by now.

Cultivate that habit of challenging it and
Use “I am” statement in powerful ways.

And you will feel how it’s grip is being loosened on you.

Ofc there will be darker moment on this journey, where something will happen
and it will come back at you with double force- bc now:
“yeah now I have a solid proof- it’s over”
But it isn’t!
This one situation is like dark cloud in the sky- that shall pass too…

There is a lot of teaching out there recommending to replace limiting belief with positive one right away.
But I do not recommend doing it right away. 1st follow what we’ve discussed above.

Let’s summarize again what we’ve got so far:

1. Observe where you limiting yourself, when you reject yourself before the action.
2. Use “I” statements very carefully! Even tho your mind saying it- you DON’T VOICE IT!
3. CHALLANGE IT. Find counter-examples to invalidate this bullshit LB that you’ve been holding on to so tightly.
4. Loop all above on daily basis- all the time!

NBA- Is player that had weaker performance today- means that he is always that performance?
No! he is not! It would only be truth if he chose to Identify with it.
PRO players are quickly resetting and letting go of that bullshit. ONTO THE NEXT ONE!

You are a PRO player of your life!
“I am that I am. Perfect and complete as it is” <– SAY IT OUT LOUD.

Your mind is laying to you, learn to observe it instead of reacting.
Thought are not you, they are just propositions. You’re the chooser.
You are tuning your own radio. Chose the station that Spark JOY!
