Self Limiting Beliefs...

I was recently talking to some of my family members about how they doubt themselves, which inadvertently puts them in negative frames of mind, and can result in the loss of jobs, denial, depression, etc.

In this blog post, which is going to be different than many of my other posts, I am going to be addressing, in my opinion, as to why we have self limiting beliefs, and how to get over them.

You see, it is very easy for people to form negative attitudes about a goal that they have in their lives. These negative attitudes can come from change, doubt, other people, and can lead to failure, brought on by the person harboring these negative beliefs.

In stead of taking on a task that may be a challenge, we may tend to stray away from that challenge and harbor doubt in our mind that we can do it. For example, when it comes to weight loss, it is easy to develop an attitude and frame of mind that says "I have tried to lose weight before, and I failed, so why would this time be any different?" This will hinder our performance to obtaining and attaining our goal.

SO! How do we stray from these self limiting beliefs, how do we keep ourselves fresh and able to accomplish new things? It is very easy, we do this by developing the RIGHT MENTAL ATTITUDE about out goal or the completion of our goal. We use positive self talk such as "I am doing this" and we start to think, act, and feel like the successful person that we want to become! Develop the right mental attitude and realize that you can do ANYTHING that you set your mind to as long as it is in the realm of human possibility. Failure is sometimes part of our journey, but use it as a lesson. Learn from it, and move on to new and better things.
