Limiting belief
2. What is limiting belief ?
A limiting belief is a state of mind or belief
about yourself that restricts you in some way.
These beliefs are often false accusations you
make about yourself that can cause a number
of negative results.
3. What causes limiting beliefs ?
• Have you ever thought to yourself, I’m not good
at something and therefore I should avoid that
thing? These beliefs often come from a place of
negativity and fear that keep us from
experiencing new opportunities.
• Limiting beliefs are caused by a number of factors
but they all stem from the same place: your
brain’s desire to protect you from pain in the
future.
4. • Often, limiting beliefs start from a young age
and progressively evolve and reshape
throughout your life as you encounter new
experiences. Whether you’ve had a painful
experience that caused you to fear similar
encounters or are scared of what’s to come,
limiting beliefs can prevent positive new beliefs
from forming.
5. How to overcome limiting beliefs in
the workplace ?
• While being able to identify self-limiting beliefs can
help you correct them in the moment, learning how
to overcome them takes time and practice. When
looking at how to overcome these fears in the
workplace ,here are some tips to follow
• Identify and write your beliefs down
• Assess the accuracy
• Use positive affirmations
• Don’t give up
6. 1. Identify and write your beliefs down
The first step to overcome your limiting beliefs is to first
identify them. Oftentimes these beliefs present
themselves as a thought in your head rather than
something you say out loud. Getting these thoughts out
on paper can help you separate them from fact or fiction
and allow you to see how untrue they really are.
Writing your thoughts down in a journal can help
alleviate any stress associated with the belief. You can
also ask yourself if this thought is relevant to the next 10
minutes of work. If not, close your journal and leave your
negative thoughts on the piece of paper.
7. 2. Assess the accuracy
If writing down your thoughts isn’t enough, it can be
helpful to analyze whether your beliefs are coming from
a place of accuracy or falsehood.
Getting to the bottom of your limiting beliefs can help
you see them for what they really are. Next time a
negative belief presents itself, take a moment to pause
and analyze the thought. Evaluate whether it’s self
limiting and if there is any concrete evidence to back up
your belief. Ask yourself if the thought is coming from
fear of the unknown or from a past experience.
8. One of the best ways to combat limiting beliefs is to use positive
affirmations. Affirmations are sentences that you repeat to yourself
in order to build self belief.
Use positive affirmations to turn self-limiting beliefs into positive self
beliefs. For example, if you’re telling yourself you’re not good
enough for a promotion, reframe that belief by assuring yourself
that you are a hard worker and deserve success. This way, you can
combat any negative thoughts by making them positive. While this
can be done in many forms, saying these out loud to yourself or
others can help reinforce the belief.
You can use this technique when negative feelings come up or
implement it into your daily routine to prevent self-limiting beliefs in
the first place
3. Use positive affirmations
9. Lastly, never give up when limiting beliefs creep in. Remember:
you’re not alone. Everyone experiences limiting beliefs, even
leaders and entrepreneurs you admire.
The important thing is to persevere through the limiting belief
and not let it hinder you. Among the many qualities of a leader ,
not giving up on yourself or others is one of the most important.
Though it can be easy to feel down when going through a cycle of
negativity, push limiting thoughts away by taking a moment to
yourself. Sometimes all you need is a breath of fresh air to set
yourself on a more positive path.
4. Don’t give up
Whether you use one or a combination of the four is up to you,
but each of these techniques can help you overcome limiting
beliefs in the workplace.
