Limiting Beliefs

Limiting beliefs are those things you believe about yourself that place limitations on your abilities. Limiting beliefs are simply assumptions about reality that are not true. In order for our actions to have the greatest positive effect, we need to have beliefs that are as close to reality as possible - deceiving ourselves will take us further from the goal. So, a limiting belief, when it comes down to it, is a belief that isn’t true.

Some common examples of limiting beliefs could be:

That you have specific roles, traits or capabilities which cannot be avoided or replaced
That a particular opinion is fact and therefore, there is no point even contemplating other viewpoints
That a specific action or result is the only way to solve a particular problem
That success is futile so there is no point trying
