Change Limiting Beliefs
We behave in ways consistent with our beliefs and values. Certain beliefs can restrict our choices and limit our capacity to change the ways we behave. Self-limiting beliefs are those things you believe about yourself that place limitations on your abilities. They may be conscious or unconscious. They may be founded or unfounded.
The following presents a simple model to change a self-limiting belief. As you work through the process, write down your findings.
1. State a belief you have that stops you performing at your best (‘I can’t cold call,’ for instance)
2. Write down the self-talk that goes with this belief (‘I am useless at this.’)
3. Describe the comfort zone this places you in (‘Cold calling fills me with fear so I don’t include it in my list of skills.’)
4. State the opposite of your limiting belief (‘I can cold call and feel positive about doing so.’)
5. Write down the new and positive self-talk that goes with this belief (‘Cold calling is something I can do.’)
6. Describe the new and expanded comfort zone this places you in.
7. What is it like having this new belief?
8. Describe how you are behaving when you have this new belief (‘I see myself picking up the phone and confidently dialing the number …’)
9. As someone with this new found belief, take a walk and act as if you are living this new belief; become your new belief.
You can also support your new belief by writing down and repeatedly reciting a positive affirmation. An affirmation is a positive statement that says exactly what it is you CAN DO. For example: ‘I am a great cold caller and cold call with confidence.’
Limiting beliefs could come from the things people said to us and about us while we grew up. Now is the time to devastate these weeds. They could also come from listening to negative people, watching/listening to negative TV and radio programs, reading negative books and magazines, and repeatedly hearing negative song lyrics. Always be on the look-out for possible sources, not fearfully, but with the view to detect and devastate them.

Examining the list of sources above will give you an idea of where their opposites (self-empowering beliefs) can be found – in the opposite directions! If you spend time with wholesome people and material, this will build healthy, wholesome thought patterns. A mind that is girded with strong, empowering thoughts is in fit enough condition to resist invasion by these malicious, illegal aliens.
