LIMITS

There are two kinds of beliefs that you inadvertently use to limit yourself…

1.-Self-imposed limits

These are limits you place on yourself. They come in the form of negative mind chatter suggesting you’re not good enough, not worthy of success, not pretty enough, not tall enough, not [fill in the blank] enough…

2. Limits from other people

REMEMBER, limiting thoughts are contagious, like a virus.

How to escape the cycle of limitations

First, allow yourself to recognize these limiting beliefs (both the self-limiting ones and the ones you pick up from others).

Look for beliefs you want to model. Take notes and find nuggets of encouragement – views that make you feel good, and help you become aware of the thoughts that make you feel bad.
