Limiting beliefs, and what to do abot them.

“You can have anything you want if you will give up the belief that you can't have it.” (Dr. Robert Anthony)


On Wednesday nights I take part in a web-based support group for caregivers of Wounded Warriors, on Notalone.com, the groupwhile it is all wives of Warriors, that is not the primary focus. I popped in a little late last night, but the topic of conversation was limiting beliefs. I have heard that before, and if the facilitator of the group reads this she will kick my booty because I know she has talked about it in the past, but I couldn't for my life think about what limiting beliefs were and how they applied to me. It could very well be the fact that I am just overwhelmed and pulled in a million directions, all of which is my fault. I think I spread myself out so I do not have to pour myself in to one thing, if I pour myself into one thing then I will eventually reach a point where I am, or at least I feel not good enough. Ah, yes, That is where limiting beliefs come in to play in my life.

I will never be good enough.

There are a million and one people who do the same thing as me.

I am not educated enough.

I do not have enough experience.

A major one that I am constantly reverting back to; something needs to change, I feel like I am always looking for something to change instead of just learning to be happy with what IS.
I have no idea how to get rid of limiting beliefs, I presume that it depends on how they got there in the first place, figuring out how to remove the scary part of whatever it is you are trying to achieve and replacing it with something else. Guess I better get to work on that. I'll let you know how it goes! Do you have any limiting beliefs? What are they?
