Your Limiting Beliefs Can Be Eliminated Once You Identify Them

by

Sometimes people want to find out what limiting beliefs govern them but can’t seem to figure it out. In another article I discussed how to use other people in your life to identify the qualities you want to eliminate. I’ll review that here too. But you can use a simple phrase to get the “juices flowing” (or actually to have the Universe start bringing information to you). You can also figure out what you want in your life and then see what is holding you back. These beliefs are deeply embedded in you and you must want to challenge and change them.

Look at people around you that you’re not really fond of and see what qualities they have that you don’t like. These are most likely qualities you have within you (or some variation of) and are probably based on limiting beliefs. So make a list of these people on one sheet of paper and start a second list of the qualities. When you’re done listing the qualities you want to get rid of, begin a third that lists the beliefs behind those qualities. You’ll be surprised how you’ll find many limiting beliefs behind these qualities.

You can use this simple phrase to get the Universe to bring you some answers. But be aware that you may not really like the truth you receive. However, realize that it is the truth. If the Universe brings you the answers you’ve asked for do not question it or try to rationalize it. The phrase is “Reveal to me the truth about myself”.

You also can make a list of everything you want in life. Just let it free flow and write as fast as you can. Once you’ve made this list you go over it and on each thing you don’t have figure out what it is that’s been holding you back from getting it. This master list will show you the keys to your limiting beliefs.

If you still believe what people told you, whether it was this morning or years ago and you need to ask yourself, “Why in the world would I believe that? Why would I listen to somebody who would tell me something like that? They didn’t have any money. They never wanted any money. They didn’t think they could have money. They didn’t think they could expect to have money. They’re making me still live with what they told me a long time ago.”

Your subconscious still accepts that until you get rid of it. It does not get rid of it by itself. You have to change it. After you have recognized this and recognized who’s doing it, ask yourself these questions, “Why did I accept her authority?” It’s usually a relative or someone in authority.

If you believe that you have to work hard to get more money, then you’ll find yourself getting more jobs that you can work longer hours at. If you believe that you need more schooling, then you’ll be behind the eight ball unless you tell yourself, “No, I can make money. I know more and I have common sense.”

You need to use self-talk to get rid of it. Self-talk is when you argue with yourself. Why in the world would I believe something Aunt Susie told me? Why would I believe something that Uncle Joe said when he didn’t have a penny to his name and somebody else was buying his clothes? Why do I still believe that? What he did or said has nothing to do with me.

You argue with yourself. Those are the denials. To find out more about how your limiting beliefs hinder you from succeeding in changing your life and what to do about it, check out The Art of Making Things Happen

How to Use The People In Your Life To Change Your Life

by

Since the Law of Attraction essentially means “like attracts like”, use the people around you to determine your personality qualities. The people in your life that annoy you are the ones you should pay great attention to because these qualities are probably somewhere within you too. Those folks whom you admire are the ones who have characteristics you want to adopt. Use affirmations and denials to clear the old and embed the new.

Make a list of people in your life who irritate you. Write down the qualities they have that bother you. Just keep a running list of these qualities for now. Once you have collected all the people’s names and the characteristics they have that bother you, it’s time to get rid of them. Do NOT make the mistake of trying to decide if you have them or not. It is a high probability that you do and if you try to analyze it, you’ll just talk yourself out of it. “There’s no way I am like that” – I can just hear you now.

For each of these undesirable qualities, create a denial. A denial simply is telling the Universe that there is none of this characteristic in your life. You just fill in the blank “There is NO ____ in my life”. For example “There is no lack in my life”, “There is no limitation in my life”, “There is no disharmony in my life”, “There is no hatred in my life”, etc. Do that for each of the characteristics you don’t like. Read this list of denials every day at least twice a day (morning and night) and if you can do a third time in the day that would be ideal. Read the list over 2-3 times at each session. Ideally you should do this for 7 days.

Now, make a list of the people in your life whom you respect (it can also be people in history that you respect). do the same with this list. Write down the qualities you like and want. Next you take this list and make affirmations out of them. An affirmation must be in the present tense, using positive words and you have to check the combination of your words to make sure you’re not asking for the wrong thing. For example you do not want to say “My life is in harmony” because your subconscious hears inharmony and will bring chaos and discontent to your life. Put another word in between – “my life is in perfect harmony” for instance. Don’t say “my affairs are in order” unless you want to start having affairs.

Make this list of affirmations and do the same as you did with the denials. Read this list 2-3 times every morning and evening and preferably in between. You can also take the affirmations (and even the denials) and put a select group on index cards and take the cards with you and say them at any point throughout the day when you have the opportunity.

Using affirmations and denials will enable you to clear out the qualities you don’t want and embed the qualities you do. It really works. Sometimes you have to continue saying both the affirmations and the denials for longer than you think you should have to but just keep doing it and you’ll see a change in yourself (and your life) within  a month or so.

Although there is an art to making affirmations that don’t get boring, as long as you remember to put everything positively and in the present tense, you can’t go wrong. If you want to learn more about how to create the affirmations check out  Creating Effective Affirmations .

Do You Know Who You Were Born To Be?

by

As anyone who’s followed this site for any length of time knows, I am an avid Susan Boyle fan. I could write for days about why and what I think she represents but today I wanted to share the lyrics of one of her most wonderful songs – and one that was written for her. It’s “Who I Was Born to Be”, written by Johan Fransson; Tim Mikael Larsson; Tobias Lundgren; Audra Mae.

Here are the lyrics:

When I was a child
I could see the wind in the trees
And I heard a song in the breeze
It was there, singing out my name

But I am not a girl
I have known the taste of defeat
And I’ve finally grown to believe
It will all came around again

And though I may not know the answers
I can finally say I am free
And if the questions led me here
Then I am who I was born to be

And so here am I
Open arms and ready to stand
I’ve got the world in my hands
And it feels like my turn to fly

Though I may not know the answers
I can finally say I am free
And if the questions led me here
Then I am who I was born to be

When I was a child
There were flowers that bloomed in the night
Unafraid to take in the light
Unashamed to have braved the dark

Though I may not know the answers
I can finally say I am free
And if the questions led me here
Then I am who I was born to be
I am who I was born to be

This song says so much more than I could possibly write to you about what I feel each of us needs to do and be  in order to live our lives to the fullest.

Read them again and see if you don’t agree. Search back in your memory and see if you know the answer to who you were born to be.

Print these out and put them on your wall or your desk. Read them every day and see what you were born to be.
