Break Through the BS: Overcoming Limiting Beliefs Holding You Back
Manage episode 473928068 series 3578749
We explore how limiting beliefs develop from childhood experiences and why they persist into adulthood despite no longer serving us. Through personal stories, scientific explanations, and practical strategies, we provide a roadmap for breaking free from self-imposed limitations.
• Limiting beliefs typically originate from childhood conditioning, trauma, or failure
• Most people aren't born with limiting beliefs but develop them through life experiences
• The reticular activating system in our brain reinforces these patterns by filtering information
• Identifying your "rope" - understanding where your limiting beliefs come from
• Challenging the narrative by questioning the validity of these self-imposed limitations
• Taking immediate action is more effective than just thinking about change
• Surrounding yourself with positive influences who believe in your potential
• Breaking the cycle by being mindful of how we speak to children
• Reframing limiting beliefs as challenges with "watch me" responses
• The responsibility we have to not plant limiting beliefs in others
