Beliefs that we hold in our conscious or unconscious minds can limit our success and happiness. We can free ourselves from these beliefs through energy techniques such as Emotional Freedom Therapy (EFT), but we have to know what they are before we can let them go.
Being aware of your situation and what you are feeling is a first step toward identifying your limiting beliefs. Ask yourself how you are feeling, what is going on inside. Check in with yourself to see if any memories are coming up. Is something not feeling good? Identify your level of pain on a scale of 0 to 10, with 10 being wonderful. Think about what it is that is stopping you from being at 10. Maybe you're feeling something in your body; maybe you're remembering a fight with your mother. Whatever it is, when you put your finger on it you can clear the negative emotion that is getting in your way.
Watch for physical sensations when dealing with your limiting beliefs; they will give you clues as to an effective ridding process without necessarily needing to open up each and every belief. For example, if you find that deep down you feel like you just don't deserve true love, and you simultaneously feel a pang in your lower belly, this could indicate additional similar limiting beliefs are attached to the original feeling that you don't deserve success. If you find this pang rest assured that you can clear out those additional limiting beliefs by addressing the initial one.
Other times, garbage is tossed about and we must pick through it to get rid of it item by item. Every person is different and has different experiences; therefore, people's garbage is different and must be handled accordingly.
Beliefs about Money and Self
Lots of our limiting beliefs are centered around money and self. Have you heard the saying that "money is the root of all evil" or that "rich people are greedy"? These are two limiting beliefs that we hold that will keep us from experiencing an abundance of money. To see if this type of limiting belief affects you, simply ask yourself what would happen if you received a huge sum of money. If your first reaction to that question involves you having a problem of any sort then yes, you too have this common limiting belief about money.
It's similar with limiting beliefs about ourselves. We tell ourselves that we are not worthy, not deserving, not good enough. And so, when we have opportunities to go beyond our limits, we stop ourselves because we don't believe we deserve the abundance. We may not be aware that we are making decisions that limit our wealth and happiness, because these may be unconscious beliefs.
Clearing Limiting Beliefs
By removing beliefs that limit our potential we clear the path for success by making changes that help us develop in positive ways. How then, do we know we have cleared a limiting belief? You may notice shifts in thinking or feeling such as feeling better about your finances, being more confident, or genuinely feeling more positive in most situations. Situations may tend to turn out better for you or maybe you have more income or maybe you've become successful in other ways.
Once the process begins and you realize that you have cleared away some negative emotions you will begin to shed your layers of limiting beliefs much like peeling layers from an onion. You may clear one issue at a time or you may clear more than one. You may have one huge clearing.
As you become aware of your limiting beliefs and let them go, you begin to move closer toward having a wonderfully fulfilled life, a life lived at 10.
