Identifying and Challenging Limiting Beliefs
Limiting beliefs are often unconscious and can hold us back from reaching our full potential. Challenging these beliefs requires introspection and a willingness to let go of being right. One approach is to consider the evidence for and against the belief, asking questions like 'Is this belief true?' and 'Can I absolutely know that it's true?' Another helpful exercise is to question the personal narratives we tell ourselves and rewrite them in a more empowering way. When it comes to specific fears such as fear of failure or fear of success, fear inoculation can be beneficial. This involves imagining the worst-case scenario and developing a plan to overcome it. By facing our fears and challenging our beliefs, we can open ourselves up to new possibilities and personal growth.
Symptoms and Approaches to Limiting Beliefs
Limiting beliefs can show up in various ways, such as a sense of certainty about negative outcomes or feelings of fear and self-doubt. These beliefs often stem from personal narratives and can manifest as symptoms like procrastination, imposter syndrome, or perfectionism. Addressing limiting beliefs requires a commitment to self-reflection and a willingness to let go of being right about them. Techniques like Byron Katie's 'The Work' can be effective, involving questioning the truth of the belief, exploring how it makes you feel, and considering alternatives. Fear inoculation can help to desensitize the impact of fears by imagining worst-case scenarios and developing strategies to overcome them. Overall, challenging limiting beliefs is a process that takes time, self-compassion, and a commitment to personal growth.
Most of us have a sense that, in some way, we’re blocking ourselves from the very things that we want. We self-sabotage. One of the most common ways we do that is through limiting beliefs: beliefs we hold about ourselves, others, and the world, that limit what we believe is possible. In today’s episode, we explore common limiting beliefs and how to break them.
Join executive leadership & career coach Rikki Goldenberg, conscious leadership & executive coach Justin Mulvaney, and licensed clinical psychologist turned creator coach Corey Wilks as we discuss all that and more.
