Debilitating or limiting belief is a notion, a conviction that you think true that limits you somehow. Those made-up stories you tell yourself. Limiting belief hinders you from achieving the result you want to accomplish.
When you were a kid, you were adventurous. You wanted to climb made-up mountains and explore the abyss in the ocean. You dealt with sharks, dinosaurs, and woodland animals. You were unstoppable! You didn’t know about boundaries until your parents started telling you about things to do and to avoid. Like, dangers lurking in the closet, refrain from going out at night and the dark concealed creatures beyond your imagination.
At eight years old, you started to demand and stood your ground, the stubbornness, and the fear of change.
Your beliefs and understanding of life depend on the perception of your parents. Somebody fed you with so many monsters, their doubts of themselves, and several fictitious stories that primarily were to frighten you as a kid, convince you to sleep or, consume colors on your plates.
Then comes the comparisons which commenced when you started going to school, test results, and grade peaks and troughs, all the way until you waltzed the ballroom of employment.
Have you ever thought of your uniqueness and how good you are at something? Have you ever gone to the corner and done nothing but breathe and assess yourself, where you are at this point? No, because your 8-year-old self is not happy with any change.
Maybe, you’ve reached the point of accepting that you need to transform your life but, there are just some beliefs that constrict you grasp your true potential.
Here are ten limiting beliefs that keep you stranded to reach your full potentials:
You are nothing compare to others.
There will always be people who will appear better and smarter than you but keep the positive talk to yourself in this world.
Somebody’s listening.
Do not put yourself in a self-induced comparison coma.
You have skills that others do not have.
Even if you think you are small, walk tall and be courageous to traverse the road to your growth.
Feign courage even if you have jitters. Nobody can tell the difference.
2. You are not good enough.
Just because others do not see your worth, you should denounce yourself for failing them.
At times, people have a different perspective on what is right and successful.
Keep honing your skills anyway; before you know it, you have gone a long way.
Keep thrusting yourself to be better until you won’t be demeaning your capabilities anymore.
3. Others are way better than you
You are born unique and special. Others may showcase their talents the way they want to flaunt it, applause for them. If you are not the show-off type, then commend yourself for every little progress you are making.
It’s your happiness and peace of mind that matter.
You could excel at something and do not receive recognition, yet the beaming smile on your face is priceless.
You are the best version of who you are!
4. People seem to despise you.
We cannot please everyone.
Even if how nice you deal with everybody, someone will always look at it differently.
Remember that how people deal with you is not always about you. It merely tells more about how they perceive themselves.
Be nice anyway.
5. Putting yourself last.
Putting others first is not always a bad trait. Often, it’s martyrdom.
Sometimes we do it because something stirs inside us either we are pleased, or we pity ourselves. Both are all drama created by the ego.
If you feel good about doing favors, well and good, but...
6. They will get mad if you do not do favors for them.
Relating to item #5, doing favors repeatedly and gaining nothing out of it is a red flag.
When you become a go-to person, you feel valued, but if your intuition’s ringing a bell, then something’s amiss, listen and be attentive to it.
Do not fall victim to an opportunist.
A go-to person for being an expert is different from being a go-to person because you allow being taken advantage of.
7. It’s not for you, better luck next time.
Are you giving up too fast? Sometimes this is best when you perceive something’s not right from the start.
As mentioned in item #6, it’s intuition. Once you feel something’s quite alarming, it’s okay to leave and quit, but if it seems paranoia, then take deep breaths.
At times, fear gets in the way before you can prove something.
Self-doubt will paralyze you, or worse, you crumble with fright.
It is not easy reaching the point where you are at the moment; take a walk around and try to understand the culture, do not give up too fast without spilling your perfume to linger around once you are gone.
8. You know a little, you are new, you are weak.
Bullies are those who have an unhappy childhood or those who have not healed from childhood trauma.
Those people are picking at weaker ones because it makes them appear more substantial.
Some forms of bullying are coercion, shouting, gossip, intimidation, and abuse of power.
Never fall victim to these kinds of people.
Once maybe is enough, but to tolerate this kind of egregious behavior makes you vulnerable to a charade of maltreatment like:
· Belittling your capabilities
· Demeaning you whether you’re alone or with the crow
· Talking about you within earshot; leaving you defenseless in a group
· Deserting you when somebody has to take responsibility
· Abandoning you in times of crisis
· Continually ignoring your contribution
Never yield to someone who has no bestowa to a person you are today.
9. Other’s opinion matters most.
You walk on tip-toes.
You do not want to commit mistakes, and you’re making little progress.
You cannot make it big because you fear failure and the sound of snorts from your family, friends, and colleagues.
You excel, but you are not happy with it because there are times, it’s not what you want to perform.
You live like a shadow and cringe when someone points out something about you and what you do. You take offense in every comment, and you do not know how to sift constructive criticisms from the destructive ones.
Listen! YOU ARE THE BEST VERSION OF WHO YOU ARE, AND NOBODY CAN CARRY OUT THE ROLE YOU PLAY AS YOU! NOONE!
10. You can do it tomorrow.
If you can do it today, why succumb to procrastination?
What’s the difference between doing that right now instead of later?
Deal tomorrow's problem tomorrow but do what you must today.
Sometimes the reason for not leaping off outright is your fear of the unknown or any of the ten items aforementioned.
Being at your age right now, perchance at your 20s, 30s, 40s, or older, what’s limiting you is inside your head. You cannot keep on pointing at your upbringing as why you act and think like this. You were reared differently, and it will always affect how you deal with people but what you are, is already the result of your experiences.
Hurt people hurt people, but it doesn’t have to be you.
There are pains in each of us, yet you do not have to deal with them alone. You can always strip off your pride and seek help from your tested and proven friends or family members.
You always have to think of yourself first and build that confidence. It doesn’t happen overnight, but positive self-talk is one of the main ingredients to push yourself a notch higher every day. Do not be too constricted with your surroundings; instead, keep honing your skills until you excel and learn another skill and another. The sky is your only limit!
Nudge and push yourself some more even if others may seem sour over your little progress.
Do not forget to pat your back and say thank you. Positive self-talk will not take you elsewhere but will create a positive path and lead you to people with the same frequency.
Choose love; that's the frequency you have to aim that will cast off all limiting beliefs you have.
