Do I COMPLAIN about things, situations which affect my emotional well being?

Self Limiting beliefs

A limiting belief is a state of mind or false belief about yourself & the world which restrict you from doing certain things in pursing your goals & desires.

It could be anything related to you & the world
Like
▪️I am not good enough
▪️I am too old or too young for this
▪️I cannot achieve that
▪️I have tried enough
▪️I can’t help the way I am-it’s just the way I am made

✔️What limiting beliefs do you have about yourself
Sit with yourself
Write them down

✔️Ask yourself “what if I’m wrong?”

✔️Then ask yourself “how is this belief serving me?”
Generally, we hold onto these beliefs to protect ourselves from struggle or failure.

✔️Thing of alternate positive beliefs
✔️Write them down repeatedly
✔️Practice,practice & practice🩷
