A lot of people think that because limiting beliefs can create so much difficulty in their
lives.
You know, stop them from growing their business, stop them from showing up, make them sabotage
and do all sorts of weird things that because it creates so much difficulty, then it must
be difficult to identify and release those limiting beliefs.
But that's not actually true, and especially in my 1:1 work with clients, I always remind
them that I'm just the tour guide.
Because it's actually your unconscious mind that does the work.
It's your unconscious mind that took on that limiting belief in the first place because
it thought that this was the way to keep you safe.
And so all we need to do is actually just shine a light on that and then to transform
it - which is the next step - is just the matter of showing your unconscious that there's
an even better way of keeping you safe.
But before you can do that, you need to recognize what that limiting belief is.
You need to actually allow yourself to shine that light of consciousness on it - literally
- because you are bringing it up out of the unconscious and into your conscious awareness.
And that's when you've put yourself in the driver's seat.
That's when you're in a position of power.
And to do that is really not that difficult.
And I'm going to tell you exactly how to do it and demonstrated for you right here in
this episode.
Now I've actually created a whole DIY system called the Limiting Belief Busting process,
and I'm going to demonstrate the beginning part of that for you in a moment because the
very first thing we do before we bust the belief is to IDENTIFY it.
And we do it based on one simple principle.
And that is that your reasons demonstrate your beliefs.
And that's an important thing for you to remember.
And if you remember that, then it'll really go a very long way towards you identifying
all sorts of beliefs that you hold.
So here's how it works.
Any time I ask you, you know: Why did you do that?
Or why did you say that?
Or why do you think that?
Whatever reason you give me, demonstrates the belief that you hold and that belief that
you hold is actually creating and informing that action, that thought, that ...whatever
...you know, words you said.
So our reasons demonstrate our beliefs because we act in certain ways, we think certain thoughts
and we feel a certain way about everything in our lives based on the beliefs we hold
around it.
And I'm sure you've seen this in your own life.
You know, sometimes you will say something, just ask a seemingly innocent question of
somebody else and they will completely take it the wrong way.
Because they hold a belief that is coloring their perception of what just happened.
Whether it's something you said or something you did or whether it's something they experienced,
you know, that hasn't got anything to do with you.
But anything that any of us experience, we actually filter through this lens of perception
and that lens is colored based on our belief system.
So we don't really experience the world as it is.
We experience the world as we believe it to be.
,Now I'm about to share my screen with you, and we're actually going to go through the
very first part of the limiting belief busting process, The very first part where you know,
we need to start by identifying what that limiting belief is, before we can worry about
releasing it and shifting and transforming and replacing it with an empowering new one.
And I'm going to just demonstrate with an example that's pretty common, but there is
a limiting belief and a money block that not a lot of people are aware of.
And so I want to make sure that you stick around till the end of this episode because
I'm going to link you through to this episode here, which I want you to watch next.
Because in that I actually cover for you one of those insidious money blocks that you may
not even realize you've got going on.
And it's important that you become aware of that too.
So make sure you stick around 'til the end because I'll actually pop the link up so that
you can go straight into that episode next.
But first, let's show you how easy it is to identify a negative limiting belief.
Now, the other thing I'd really like you to remember and take away from this video is
that anytime you experience negative emotions, it's actually a sign that you have a limiting
belief going on.
So if you are wondering, you know, where do I even begin, look for those negative emotions
because the negative emotions, they indicate that something's out of whack.
That somewhere you're being triggered by a negative limiting belief.
So those negative emotions are actually very helpful because they're a clue.
They point you in the right direction.
And that's why that is actually where we begin.
You're feeling the negative emotion, you know you're feeling fear, you're feeling stressed,
you're feeling worried, and it actually points to an underlying limiting belief that is holding
you back and creating that emotional response in you.
And as I demonstrate this, you can play along at home with your own limiting belief.
And remember we start with a negative emotion.
So what have you been feeling some negative emotion around?
What's the feeling and what's the situation?
Just take a moment to think, type it in a comment for me below, and then use this actual
process I'm about to demonstrate to help you identify what limiting belief is actually
going on underneath that.
Okay, so here we are.
We are actually looking at the worksheet that you get with the Limiting Belief Busting toolkit.
And this is the limiting belief busting process section, which actually consists of 10 simple
questions.
But we are just going to go through the first three here today because that's all you need
to help you identify the limiting belief.
So remember that we just talked about negative emotions and how negative emotions point to
limiting beliefs.
And I asked you to type a comment below and tell me what have you been feeling some negative
emotion around.
So if you haven't done that yet, do it now because what you can do next is watch me go
through this process just so that you get the feel for it.
And then you can rewind the video back to this spot here and go through it again, but
actually do your own, because you can write this out on a piece of paper and go through
this initial process of actually identifying your limiting belief.
Okay, so let's go through this with this example.
We're going to start by just identifying what the negative feeling and the situation is,
and let's just write it out here.
So "I feel really stressed out and scared about launching my new group program".
So that's the example we're going to run with.
And then like I said, you can rewind and go through this again with your own, but we're
just going to go through two simple steps.
And the third one is just plucking out the limiting beliefs.
So we've got the feeling, because remember, negative emotions point to limiting beliefs.
So we've made it really clear.
What is that negative emotion and what's it about?
Well, the negative feeling is feeling really stressed out and scared.
So now we use that other principle I shared with you.
That our reasons demonstrate our beliefs.
So we simply find out, well, what's the reason for feeling that way?
We ask the question literally there, Why do I feel X (which is really stressed out and
scared) about Y (which is about launching the new group program).
Why do you feel really stressed out and scared?
You could feel any other way.
You could feel excited and inspired, yet you choose to feel stressed out and scared.
Why do you feel that way?
And so then the answer will show us what the underlying belief is.
So let's pretend the answer is, "Because I still feel like I don't know enough and people
won't buy it anyway."
So in this example, what I've actually done for you is demonstrated what tends to happen
a lot in real life.
And that's, we've actually got two limiting beliefs that have popped out.
We've got, 'I still don't know enough'.
That's definitely a doozy of a limiting belief and very, very common in the women business
owners that I work with.
It's really, really common that they think they still don't know enough, which is why
they keep enrolling in more courses and doing more marketing programs and hiring yet another
coach.
So there it is, 'I still don't know enough'.
Definitely a limiting belief that's going to cause all sorts of trouble and hold you
back.
And there's another one that's popped out there as well.
'People won't buy it anyway'.
So that's a limiting belief that people won't buy what I have to offer.
People don't want what I have to offer.
So just by simply getting clear on what their negative emotion is and then asking what the
reason for the feeling is, we've identified not one but two limiting beliefs.
And you know, if we were going right through this limiting belief busting process, which
is then actually about releasing and transforming and replacing this limiting belief, we would
work with one at a time.
And what I would say to you is, which one holds more energy?
You know, one of them will have you trembling in your boots and the other one's just kind
of a light wobble.
And what more than often happens is that as we release the bigger one that holds more
energy, the other one just drops away anyway.
So there you have it.
That's how quick and easy it is to identify your limiting beliefs.
Basically, we've just asked one question and that is, 'Why do you feel that negative emotion?'
And by identifying it, you've actually done the lion share of the work.
Because remember, this was an unconscious limiting belief up until now.
So what you've done by identifying it, is you've actually brought it up into your conscious
awareness.
You're shining that light of consciousness on it, and you've put yourself in a position
of power.
And that means that from here forward, you can really ask yourself, "Well, do I really
want that limiting belief to inform the way I show up, the way I run my business, the
way I do life?
Do I want want to start looking at things differently?
I'm wondering in what ways I could start looking at things differently."
So everything changes just from having identified that limiting belief.
So I know you're going to want to get busy identifying a whole lot of limiting beliefs.
And remember there is that one hidden money block that does tend to sneak through for
most people, which I talk about in this video here and that'll pop up for you at the end
so you can actually click through and go straight there.
But in the meantime, if you'd like some support with identifying your limiting beliefs, and
if you'd like to go the next step beyond just identifying them and actually start to release
them, transform them, replace them with empowering new beliefs and start taking the first action
steps towards making those a reality, then do check out the Limiting Belief Busting Toolkit.
Because not only do we do all of that with tutorials, live workshops that you get invited
along to and all the worksheets and bits and pieces you need at your fingertips.
We also include HYPNOSIS, because we want to make sure that that new empowering belief
gets wired into your unconscious as quickly and as deeply as possible.
So the link to grab the Limiting Belief Busting Toolkit is in the description below and you
