es and opinions in your views? If you can, these are acquired beliefs and some of them might serve you well and some might not.
As adults we continue to pick up limiting beliefs from all areas of our life – in the workplace from bosses and peers, and in our personal life from friends, family, healthcare professionals and others.
Your life is a reflection of your beliefs. They are the driving force behind your actions, behaviours and ultimately your life. If your beliefs are negative, life becomes a vicious cycle. For example, if you believe you are unworthy you will consciously or unconsciously allow others to treat you that way, which reinforces your beliefs and your perceptions of how your life always is … and the cycle is perpetuated, until you change your beliefs and transform your life.
Here are some examples of life-enhancing beliefs:
• I am proud of who I am
• I deeply appreciate and accept myself
• My family is proud of me
• I am confident and very successful
• I accept health as being a natural part of my life
• My body heals itself naturally and quickly
• I radiate with perfect health and wellness
• I have more than enough money to live the life I want
• It is okay for me to have lots of money
• I am successful in business
• I enjoy incredible, rich relationships with wonderful people.
Here are some examples of limiting beliefs:
• Things never seem to go my way
• I’m just not a lucky person
• I can’t find the right partner
• I have to work hard to be a success
• I have to be perfect in everything I do so I’m not criticised
• I’m doomed by my genes
• My body is falling apart but that’s what happens when you get older
• I never have enough money
• I will never own my own home
• My boss doesn’t understand me
• I have trouble finding new clients
• I’m not good at sport
• It’s hard for me to change
• I just don’t have the energy I used to
• I’m not worthy of making lots of money
• We live in a dangerous world.
Where do we hold our beliefs?
Beliefs are stored in both our conscious and subconscious minds. Only 5% of our beliefs are held in our conscious mind while 95% are held in the subconscious mind. You may be unaware that you’re holding limiting beliefs at the subconscious level until you’re trying to achieve a goal and never seem to get there.
For example, have you ever made a resolution and decided that:
• you’re going to get fit and healthy
• you’ll stop procrastinating
• you’ll never get in the same type of relationship again
• you’ll apply the new skills you’ve just learnt
• you’re going to lose weight
and then even after making genuine attempts, you never reach your goal or you find yourself in the same situation again. What’s likely to be happening is your subconscious mind has an opposing belief to what you’re trying to achieve and therefore you struggle to achieve your goal.
The subconscious mind is very powerful – it can handle thousands of tasks simultaneously. It controls the operations of our body – for example, our heart rate, breathing, digestion and motor functions (including movement of muscles). The subconscious mind processes 40 million bits of information per second while the conscious mind processes 40 bits per second. If the conscious mind desires a goal that the subconscious mind disagrees with it it’s no wonder that the subconscious wins!
