Limiting beliefs

I run classes and do private sessions and recently it seems to be highlighted to me that we limit ourselves far more than anyone else could ever attempt.

Are you in a prison of self-inflicted limits? So prison may sound like a very intense word but really that’s what we are doing. We are locking ourselves into limits that are actually stored within us now, they have stopped being external ideas and issues and we have taken them on and internalised them.

Most limits come from experiences or conditioning… these make it difficult to acknowledge as a limit and not a reality sometimes.

My definition of a limit : Anything that says I can’t, It won’t and not me ..

My definition of Reality: Everything is possible

Where do Limitations come from?

We pick up limits through past failures; we say oh well I couldn’t do it that way which means I can’t do it at all. We basically pick an experience that we would prefer not to repeat in the same way and instead of attempting a different way we say if the past didn’t I’m going to plan my future based on a result I didn’t like. Now what sense does that make. This amplifies failure the very thing you do not wish to repeat and then you lose the opportunity to learn. That’s a choice that’s a perception that belongs to HOW YOU CHOOSE TO REACT belongs to you.

We pick up limits through other peoples opinions of us. When we grow up we often absorb lots of other people’s opinions and ideas. That’s a great way to gage the world and to learn different important angles on things. The issue is when you replace your internal knowledge with someone’s flippant opinion it isn’t based on your reality or your inner direction it is simply based on someone’s emotional and mental state of mind in a brief interaction with you. You then took this moment on board and applied your method of living in 1 person’s flippant reaction or opinions.

How to undo the limitations of yourself?

The first thing is bring the limit into your consciousness. See it as a limit, see it as self-inflicted and see why you decided to take it on, how you play it out and why now you want to let it go.  

Then look within and imagine that you are without this limit, feel how that feels, see how it looks and smell how it smells. Call in that experience of fulfilment and limitless experiences.

Now practise rewriting that background, catch yourself implementing the limits and take physical action to replace that unconscious action with a conscious one. Do this until the unconscious action has become a fully limitless conscious one.
