Self-limiting beliefs have the potential to negatively impact our lives. They can hold us back and prompt us to make fear-based decisions, which can at times, lead to the very same painful experiences they have been created to help us avoid. If we do not take action and challenge these beliefs, we can stay stuck in the damaging cycle. It is important to create empowering beliefs which help us to move forward and accomplish everything we set our mind to achieve. This podcast episode takes a deep dive into self-limiting beliefs, looking at where they come from, why they stick around, the neuroscientific perspective, and a number of strategies to help stop these beliefs from controlling your life. We also discuss how we can turn these self-limiting beliefs into liberating beliefs (thank you Matthew Benjamin AKA Bushwacka for the concept to research).
