Limiting Beliefs Are Stopping You From Reaching Your Goals
lisatarkingtonEver felt like there was something holding you back from your dreams? Limiting beliefs are those sneaky thoughts that tell us we’re not good enough, smart enough, or deserving of success. They create barriers in our lives, blocking us from opportunities and reaching our full potential. In this week’s episode of The Confident Podcast, host Lisa Tarkington shares her own story of having limiting beliefs and her journey to overcome them. Continue to read for empowering tips!
Self-reflection is a critical step towards personal empowerment. It involves examining our own thoughts, feelings, and motivations to understand ourselves better. Through self-reflection, we can identify the limiting beliefs that may be holding us back from reaching our full potential. They can manifest as doubts about our abilities, fear of failure, or the assumption that we are not worthy of success. By confronting these beliefs we can begin to rewrite the narratives that limit us!
Setting boundaries is another important aspect of personal empowerment. It involves creating clear lines of what we will accept in our lives and what we won’t. Boundaries can be emotional, such as deciding not to tolerate disrespectful behavior from others, or they can be practical, like setting specific work hours to prevent burnout. Establishing boundaries allows us to prioritize our well-being.
Goal visualization is a powerful tool! By creating a clear image of our desired outcomes, we can align our actions towards achieving those goals. Here’s an exercise to help you:
- • Draw your life in three years.
- • Draw five things that you want for your life. Where do you want to be?
- • Next, circle your top three and write down your goals and one limiting belief that will stop you from achieving it.
- • Next, imagine yourself in three years achieving that goal and write down how you overcame the limiting belief.
- • Now, it’s time to reflect. What are your next steps to achieve your goals?
Limiting beliefs are limits that we put on ourselves. Whenever you have these thoughts in your head, feel free to return to this episode to help guide you! We all have these thoughts sometimes, but really challenge yourself to take some time to engage in the visualization activity. Take some time to reflect and really think about how limiting beliefs are stopping us and see your confidence soar more than ever before.
