Do you find yourself making the same mistake in various guises and repeating negative thought and behaviour patterns no matter how hard you try?

Do you blame others about situations in your life and not take full responsibility?

If you answered yes to both questions, there's probably a self-limiting belief lurking around that is obstructing you from joy.

A self-limiting belief is a belief held in your subconscious mind that limits you getting what you really want in life, as it says on the tin, it limits the self! So, bearing that in mind, it is obviously of benefit to remove these beliefs in order to get what you want in life, however before we can begin to think about losing them we need to identify what they are.

Importance of identifying self-limiting beliefs

Self-limiting beliefs are in fact faulty or outdated programming that obstruct or even halt your growth. The difficulty in identifying them is that they feel as if they are a part of your core. Their misleading nature leads you to feel that it's just you, your luck, your genes (after all your Mum/Dad/Sister/Brother, insert relevant relative, are like that) or something else that is out of your control.

Another difficulty is that some limiting beliefs are cultural and therefore embraced by society. A majority of people hold them so they feel normal. Well it's not and my aim today is to help you wake up!

Self limiting beliefs are dangerous to your personal growth, identifying them will show you just how many areas of your life are being affected. I was shocked to the core when I started becoming aware of mine and pretty overwhelmed by the realisation that as a self-aware person, I had no clue!

Law of Attraction

The danger with them is that they can be your default thoughts as you have had them for a very long time, so by the law of attraction what do you think these limiting thoughts are inviting into your life!

When you embrace universal laws like the law of attraction, you choose to deliberately create your life. Doing so without identifying and releasing these limiting beliefs, it is the equivalent of putting clean clothes on a dirty body. Your older, deep rooted beliefs have more energy as you've held and projected them for longer. So, identifying and releasing self-limiting beliefs will work wonders for your manifestations as it is a massive release of negative thought patterns and hence negative energy. Once they are released, there's more room for the abundance to flow in.

Where do they come from?

These limiting beliefs come from upbringing, society, experiences, coping mechanisms. Our parents probably didn't mean any harm but they passed on their self-limits to us and gave us new ones as a form of protection. Eg, they may stop us from aiming too high as they don't want us to be disappointed.

Society is just a collection of people, unfortunately a majority of people are limited which is why society can add to or reconfirm our self-limiting beliefs. Society tells us that we are limited by our education, class, race, age etc - just in case anyone's unsure this is class A b*llshit!
