What Is A Limiting Belief?

A limiting belief is a belief that prevents you from experiencing who you really are and what you truly want to be. If you study your mind closely, you will discover that a majority of your thoughts and beliefs, both consciously and unconsciously, are limiting in nature.

The Most Common Limiting Beliefs

Here are just a few examples:

1. Fear of not being loved

2. Fear of not being good enough

3. Fear of being rejected

4. Fear of failure

5. Fear of success

6. I don't deserve success

7. I have to work hard for money

8. Rich people are evil (or other negative attributes)

Why Do You Need To Clear Your Limiting Beliefs?

Basically all of your problems in lives are caused by limiting beliefs. So if you want to get rid of a certain problem, you need to clear the corresponding belief.

For example, let's say you want to be wealthy. However, there is also a little voice in your mind that says, making money is not easy, or, I am never going to make it. These limiting beliefs about money are going to hold you back and prevent you from realizing your desire to be wealthy.

4 Steps To Clear Limiting Beliefs

1. Be Aware

Our limiting beliefs are usually rooted in our mind when we were very young. We have established our belief system unconsciously, without giving much thoughts about them.

So it is crucial to be FULLY aware of what you think. If you pay attention to what you think, you will find that maybe 99% of your thoughts or beliefs are limiting and do not serve you. When you are fully aware of your thoughts, you are living in the NOW. The more you do this, the more you will discover that the negative effects of the limiting beliefs are starting to subside.

2. Identify
Once you become more aware of your thoughts, it is easier to identify them. Take some time each day to write down what you have found. You may also do this by asking yourself questions. For example, ask yourself "what do I really want to achieve?". When you answer to the questions, pay attention to the little voice in you. Does it say, "yeah, but that will be tough", or anything that is discouraging?

3. Take Inspired Action
Now that you have identified some of your limiting beliefs, you want to take action to clear them. In fact, if you have already taken action and achieved the above two steps, the taking action part will become much easier. You will tend to be drawn to methods, techniques, or programs that can help clear those limiting beliefs. Now you want to take action on them, whether it is visualization, meditation, energy healing, or whatever inspires you.

4. Let Go
When you have done all of the above, let go. Do not pay too much attention to the result and wait for something to happen. If you do, you are actually having another limiting belief in the form of skepticism. This is something that needs to be cleared itself. Trust that it will be done. Be grateful that it is done.

When you let go, you will find that your life is beginning to change in the way you want it to be. In time, you will see that your desires are achieved.
