Episode 101 - Limiting Beliefs and Language: How to Recognize and Reframe Thoughts That Hold You Back
Manage episode 511272169 series 3660866
We explore how everyday language fuels limiting beliefs and share a simple three-step process—awareness, challenge, and reframe—to shift self-talk toward authentic alignment. Practical examples, clear prompts, and small actions help you move from fixed stories to flexible possibilities.
• seven red flags in self-talk that signal limiting beliefs
• assumptions and if-then scripts that close options
• globalizations like always and never that flatten nuance
• shoulds, musts, and externalized blame that give away power
• vague language and incomplete models that block action
• judgments vs observable facts for clearer feedback
• requests vs demands and how to honor needs with options
• the awareness–challenge–reframe method for change
• targeted affirmations and small supportive actions
• shifting from scarcity to gratitude to expand capacity
