Most people struggle with limiting beliefs

They believe everything their minds tell them

In its most extreme, this leads to crushing feelings of self-defeat and self-sabotage.

The world is the way we see, not what we see.

Here's what I mean by this.

When you don't address a limiting belief, it's as if you've decided to wear orange tinted glasses.

Within minutes of metaphorically putting them on, your world will look orange.

Eventually, you will acclimate to this new way of seeing things and forget that you even have the glasses on.

​

The same is true for our limiting beliefs

The thoughts and beliefs we believe to be true are like orange tinted glasses that influence how we see ourselves, others, and the world.

The outer world will reflect the inner beliefs we carry.

This simple process can help you dissolve limiting beliefs almost instantly so that you can take back your mind and get it out of the way and create what you desire to make.

This process comes from acceptance and commitment therapy.

Think of this as a workout for your mind.

Doing two sets of three reps has worked well for me and others.

​

Here's how it works:

Awareness

The first and the most important thing is creating awareness. Being able to "catch" a limiting belief is the foundation to address it properly.

I can't empathize how important it is to be aware of even the quietest of internal voices that whisper things like:

• "you're not enough"
• "it doesn't matter"
• "what's the point?"

This step requires you to be vigilant of your thinking.

Become interested in listening to your internal dialog more than you are typically listening to it now.

​

The Distancing Process

The second step is to add onto the limiting belief that came into your mind, the following words:

• "I am having the thought that …[insert limiting belief]"

Then, repeat this new phrase to yourself three times as you deepen your breath in-between each phrase.

​

From here, you are going to modify the phrase and say to yourself the following:

• "I am noticing that I am having the thought that …[insert limiting belief]"

Then, repeat this new phrase to yourself three more times as you breathe deeply between each phrase.

​

This simple but profound process will noticeably shift your state and prevent you from wearing the orange tinted sunglasses of limiting beliefs.

This process places you and the limiting belief in the right relationship with each other.

YOU are not it, and it is not you.

You are the witness to it, and by creating space between yourself and the belief through simple changes in language, such as "I am having the thought…" and "I am noticing that I am having the thought…" you distance yourself from it.
