Every setback helped me get closer to a better me and a better future.
Invisible Chains: How Limiting Beliefs Hold Us Back
Now, limiting beliefs? Those are like invisible chains that hold us back from reaching our full potential. They whisper doubts in our ears, telling us we’re not good enough, not smart enough, not capable enough. These sneaky thoughts can be tough to break free from, but here’s the good news: we can absolutely do it!
Unveiling the Culprits: Identifying Your Limiting Beliefs
The first step is becoming aware of these limitations. Take some time to reflect, to dig deep and unearth the thoughts and ideas that might be holding you back. Once you identify them, you can start to challenge them.
Here are some journaling prompts to help you identify your limiting beliefs:

- What are some fears that hold me back from pursuing my goals?
- Are there any situations where I feel like I’m not good enough?
