Hi,

Unique learners,

And welcome to this visualisation of releasing your limiting beliefs.

This will be part of a series,

As there's a lot of material to cover when it comes about releasing limiting beliefs.

And we will start with some inquiry questions about common harmful limiting beliefs you might recognise in yourself,

Followed by a visualisation with affirmations.

So are you ready?

The only limits you have are the limits you believe.

And that's a quote from Wayne Dyer.

But what are limiting beliefs,

Or sometimes referred to as false,

Coarse beliefs?

Well,

They are beliefs we have about ourselves that are untrue and limiting.

Although we do believe them.

And they live in our subconscious mind,

Considering that 90% of our action actually stem from our subconscious mind.

Our false beliefs play a huge role in nearly everything we do.

And since these limiting beliefs live in our subconscious,

We might not even be aware of them and how they affect our daily lives.

For example,

If you believe you are unlovable,

You might sabotage relationships and hold on when you shouldn't,

Or avoid getting into relationships.

But logic may provide you with explanations on why you are doing this when at the core it's actually fueled by your false belief that you are unlovable.

Our behaviour stems from our beliefs and what our life looks like as a result of our collective behaviour.

So if we change or dissolve our beliefs,

Especially our limiting belief,

We can change our behaviour and ultimately change our life.

And once you discover your limiting beliefs,

You can start to help rewire themselves.

Changing their wiring will change your life.

And there are many different ways and theories on how to rewire yourself.

Everything from NLB to subconscious work.

So let's start with recognizing and becoming aware of our limiting beliefs.

So please listen to the following four harmful limiting beliefs and make a note out of the ones that you resonate with.

The first one.

The world is dangerous.

This limiting belief of the world is dangerous leads to a lot of worrying and risk avoidance.

If you believe there's evil or misfortune lurking around every corner,

You're likely to restrict your activities and seek excessive reassurance to alleviate your anxiety.

You also tend to overestimate the probability of negative outcomes and underestimate your ability to cope.

Two.

I am a failure,

I am not good enough.

A persistent feeling of not measuring up can often be traced back to overcritical parents,

Bullying from classmates or a tendency to compare yourself to others.

And this limiting belief of I am a failure,

I'm not good enough can lead people to push themselves too hard to overcompensate.

It also drives our imposter syndrome.

And that is a constant feeling that you're a fraud and you'll be unmasked any day now.

And people who see themselves as failures can also be prone to avoidance or procrastination,

Which allows them to say,

I didn't fail,

I never really tried.

I have more talks here on Inside Timer about dealing with procrastination,

So give me a follow if you like.

But we will focus here on the limiting belief I am a failure.

Three.

I don't belong.

Being rejected by peers or even family at an early age can make you carry an outsider identity for years afterwards.

As an adult,

You might avoid engaging with others for fear of rejection.

Or you might swing to the other extreme and become overly concerned with being the perfect group member.

Four.

I have to be perfect.

And this is actually a cousin of I'm not good enough.

This core belief,

This limiting belief,

Also leads people to drive themselves until their health or relationships suffer.

Perfectionists have unrealistically high expectations and tend to focus on their flaws and missteps.

They may have trouble taking life less seriously and often have the sense that there is too little time.

So are you ready to go into the next phase of the visualization?

And I invite you to sit with a straight spine as comfortably as possible,

But make sure you don't fall asleep.

And what might be helpful is to place your feet on the floor and your hands in your lap.

And slow everything down.

And close your eyes and go inwards.

And I invite you to breathe in through your nose and when your lungs are completely full,

Hold it and then breathe out with pursed lips.

So breathe in.

Hold it and let your expectations go.

Completely emptying your lungs and breathe in.

Hold it and let that negativity go.

Breathe in.

Hold it and with a loud outside let all your worries go.

And go back to your natural breath.

And feel how you are sitting in your chair and go inwards.

Just have a little check in and ask yourself how am I feeling?

And it might be helpful to label your emotions and state but that's okay.

For example I feel anxious but that's okay.

And can you give that emotion a number on a scale from 1 to 10?

And feel where it is stuck in your body.

Let's not dwell on those emotions for now but I invite you to consider your past and the core belief you want to work on today.

The I do not belong.

The world is dangerous.

I am not good enough.

I need to be perfect because.

.

.

Which one will you choose?

Set an intention right now.

And where does this limiting belief come from?

Try to visualize a green field filled with grass where you are standing and the temperature is so nice.

There are a couple of clouds in the sky but this is a great day.

And can you think of that limiting belief and invite your younger wounded inner child to come help you with this limiting belief and where it comes from?

And now see your inner child walking towards you and there might be multiple ones but try to work with the youngest version of yourself.

And see how they are walking towards you.

Can you check if you can come a little bit closer and say hello?

You are observing as an adult and this is a safe place and we are just noticing the negative limiting beliefs with the feelings.

And can you ask your inner child right now where does this core limiting belief come from?

And can you ask your inner child is there something you would like to say about this core limiting belief?

And if this brings a lot of emotions I invite you to breathe through it,

Place your hands on your heart and feel where the feelings are moving through your body.

And do you want to say something to your inner child like I see you are feeling hurt but I am here to take care of you now or yes I hear you and I will pay more attention to you from now on.

And what is your inner child expecting from you?

See if you can ask them and move a little bit closer.

And is there something you would like to say to them?

A message,

Some advice,

Comforting words,

Maybe your favorite toy as a child?

And you might want to check with them if it's okay if you can give them a hug.

If not just try to be as close to them and if you are allowed to give a hug you might want to place your right hand on your left arm and your left hand on your right arm and And unfortunately it's time to say goodbye to your inner child.

And when you see them walking away place your hands on your heart and state the following with me.

I do belong.

I am safe right now.

I am good enough.

I am perfectly imperfect.

I am doing my best.

I am lovable.

And I am safe in my own body.

And you might want to say goodbye,

Thank yourself and leave that green green grass and feel your feet on the ground and have a quick check in and can you sense your emotions in your body and has the level of intensity shifted?

And whatever happens this is just a practice.

So you might want to open your eyes move around your body and once again I thank you for taking part.

May you be well.

May you be loved.

And may you be safe.
