How to Clear Limiting Beliefs: Identify them (1/3)

Published by Lola

Clearing limiting beliefs is vital to your healthy spiritual and personal development. Wherever you are not at total peace in your life, there are limiting beliefs at work beneath the surface causing you to feel the discomfort that you feel. This post is part 1 of a 3 step plan to help you clear your limited beliefs.

Whatever you want to be, do or have in life the only thing standing between you and your desires are beliefs that are not in alignment with your desires. These beliefs need to be cleared or brought into alignment with your desires before you can be, do or have what you want.

Where do these limiting beliefs come from?

Largely from your ego mind’s need to understand what’s going on and to create a formula or blueprint for you to live from based on your previous experiences. Whilst this is helpful for brushing your teeth and tying your shoe laces, it can be very restrictive as your ego mind cannot predict the future but instead creates it based on your limiting beliefs. This is the cause of many of the negative cycles we may find ourselves in where our past is repeated over and over again.

Since your beliefs power the actions you take, your life’s experience is a reflection of your beliefs. Any areas of unfulfillment are indicators of non-serving or limiting beliefs. Clearing them makes light work of any behavioural changes you are trying to make and removes the need for willpower. The 1st step is to identify your non-serving beliefs.

1. Identify them

Limiting beliefs are also called unconscious or subconscious beliefs due to most of their power coming from the fact they operate under our consciousness. You’re quite literally conditioned to expect things to go in a certain way and unaware that your expectation is creating whatever you expect, the more you expect the more your expectation is met and so on and so forth. Obviously this could be used to your advantage too, but for most of us it works against us.

Identifying your unconscious limiting beliefs involves you becoming aware of them. Exposing them for what they are, things that are holding you back from what you really want.

A great way to identify them is to set a goal or intention for something that will make a big difference to your life. Your beliefs held that are not in alignment with your intention will start to rise to the surface to be released.

For instance, I have recently set a financial goal for myself and various beliefs have surfaced including the deep seated “I’m not good enough”. It knocked me for six, I had no idea I had this belief but it rose to the surface to be cleared as it’s not in alignment with the intention.

Exercise

Set an intention for an area of your life, your career, family, relationships, money, fun, health etc. Make it something that you really want and if you feel any discomfort about it, know you have picked the right one. Ask yourself the following questions to get the ball rolling:

What’s this area of your life like right now? On a scale of 1-10?
If it were ar 10/10 what would it look like?
What emotions came up for you when describing it as a 10?
What is stopping you from making it a 10?
