That voice in your head saying you're not good enough, smart enough, or capable enough? It's not telling the truth. It's a limiting belief – and it may have been programmed into you decades ago without your knowledge or consent.
We had a lightbulb moment when we first learned about limiting beliefs at a seminar years ago. The life coach asked us to identify beliefs holding us back, and suddenly we realized how many thoughts we'd accepted as truth were actually just installed beliefs from childhood experiences. For me, it was an art teacher who dismissed my creative work at age six, making me believe I had no artistic talent – a belief that later prevented me from pursuing fashion design despite my natural creativity and sewing skills. For my sister, it was struggles with what was likely undiagnosed dyscalculia being treated as stupidity, creating a lifelong belief about her mathematical abilities.
These limiting beliefs don't just create small obstacles – they fundamentally reshape our lives, our choices, and even our dreams. The most insidious part is how they become self-fulfilling prophecies through constant reinforcement. We tell ourselves "I'm not good at that" or "I don't know how to do that" so often that we never even try. We might even forget what we originally wanted to do as our perceived limitations overwhelm our aspirations.
The good news? Once you identify a limiting belief, you can challenge it. Is it actually true? Could you learn? What if you simply added "yet" to the end of "I don't know how to do that"? This small cognitive shift opens doors to possibilities that limiting beliefs had previously closed. Whether it's learning to drive, starting a business, becoming a parent, or pursuing art – the first step is recognizing the belief that's holding you back.
