SPA Girls Podcast – EP248 – Dealing With Limiting Beliefs

Subscribe: RSS

We’re on the couch again this week! We’re talking about our limiting beliefs and how we’re tackling them.

If you’re not sure if you’ve got a limiting belief… we’re pretty sure you do. Probably more than one. It’s a belief that’s holding you back, and it’s the kind of thought pattern that you definitely want to bring out into the open, so you know it’s there, and can work on ways to change or amend it.

Limiting beliefs are something you probably think is just a fact, or just true, about yourself or the way things work. Sometimes it’s about the way you react to things, or how you feel about yourself when something happens a certain way. They’re not always obvious, and they’re not always easy to recognise and understand, let alone get rid of!

That’s why we decided to talk about how we’ve recognised our own limiting beliefs and what we’re doing to change them, so that you can look at your own beliefs and decide if any of them are holding you back from your dream publishing career!

SHOW NOTES:

If we don’t think we can be successful for some reason, we won’t be. It’s as simple as that. We can sabotage ourselves without even realising we’re doing it. That’s why it’s so important to know and understand any limiting beliefs we may have so we can work on them!

Some examples of limiting beliefs:
“I’m just a disorganised person.”
“I’m just messy, always have been.”
“I’m just not that technical.”
“I don’t know how to do it.”
“I’ve never done it before.”

Gay Hendricks – The Big Leap:
“Each of us has an inner thermostat setting that determines how much love, success, and creativity that we allow ourselves to enjoy. When we exceed our inner thermostat setting, we will often do something to sabotage ourselves, causing us to drop back into the old, familiar zone where we feel secure.”
