Do you ever find yourself holding back and not pursuing what you want in life all because of some beliefs that were planted in your mind over time?
I think this is so true for a lot of moms. We carry emotional wounds and scars before we even become a mom. We start parenting and lose sight of who we are and forget the fact that we still need to heal those wounds which were never addressed.
There is a voice in our head telling us things all day long. Sometimes that voice just won't shut up. You know that voice don't you????
It is important to notice & identify what that voice is actually saying. IS IT TRUE? This voice chooses its words based on experiences from outside sources with family, friends, significant others, and society. These words, also known as limiting beliefs, soak into our subconscious over time.
This negative voice in our head is not ours and it needs to be released so we can live a life of authenticity. Free yourself from that voice. Stand up to the fear based thoughts. You get to choose. We ALWAYS have the power to choose again.
Limiting beliefs restrict us from following a certain path or going after our dreams. These collections of thoughts accumulate and become our identity. They encourage us to put up invisible boundaries which keep us from growing and evolving.
We carry limiting beliefs with us throughout all stages of life. We learn a lot of them during our childhood.
I grew up around adult role models who used negative self talk every single day. They would say things like, "My butt is too big. Can you believe how much weight she gained? I don't look good in any clothes. My thighs and ankles are fat. My hair is ugly. I am going on another diet. I will never put on a swimsuit. My skin is getting wrinkled."
Little did they know that their words were sinking into my subconscious and would affect me as I went through adolescence and into adulthood. They instilled limits of self worth, self acceptance, and self confidence because everything was so focused on looks and the opinions of other people. Image equaled value and it wasn't until later in my adulthood that I realized that story had to end. I was done with that. I made a promise to myself that I would never use that kind of language around my children.
Grab a journal and write down the following:
*What do you truly desire in your life?
*What passion do you want to pursue that lights you up?
*If money were no object, what career path would you choose?
*Where in life have you settled?
*If you could live anywhere, where would that be?
> Next, write down the 3-5 stories that you are telling yourself on a daily basis as to why you are not good enough, smart enough, pretty enough, or why you can’t do something you have always wanted to do.
> What experiences are standing out in your mind----like it feels as if it just happened yesterday? Where did you hear this limiting belief? How old were you? How did you respond? How did that belief affect your behavior?
> IDENTIFYING what your limiting beliefs is the first step to healing yourself. You need to know what is keeping you stuck in your life.
Is there a pattern that keeps popping up?
For example, you may not feel worthy of love and keep bringing the same type of person into a relationship only to have the same outcome time and time again.
You wonder why this keeps happening. Why do you keep attracting this?
*I will never find love
*Someone else will do it better than me
*It is just how I was raised
*I need someone to take care of me
*I will always be broke. I see no way out.
*It is too late to pursue my dreams
*I don’t have the ability to do that
*I am too old to do that
*A steady paycheck is the safe route
*I wasn't born into the right kind of family
*I don't have enough time
*My health is holding me back
*Change is too hard
*Other people's needs are more important than mine
I am allowed to change
There is no limit to my success
I provide value to the world
My success is inevitable
I release all limiting beliefs and negative energy that my subconscious is holding onto
I value self care as a tool for healing
My struggles are only temporary
Freedom to be myself is my birth right
I do not have to suffer to prove my self worth
I have everything I need inside of me to follow my dreams
I am worthy of financial security
I call back my own energy from any person, place, or thing that drained it
I am anchored in the energy of love, abundance, and prosperity
I choose to believe in myself even when things get tough
I breathe in confidence and breathe out self doubt
I release stored trauma that holds me back in life
I choose to let go of old patterns that no longer serve me
I encourage you to write these down and recite them out loud or in your head for 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes in the evening. Feel free to tweak them to be more personable to you. It will take time to undo thoughts hard wired into your brain but with consistency and intention, YOU CAN DO IT! Commit to doing this for 30 days.
The scripts we have been telling ourselves are so inaccurate. Know that when the voice in your head starts to get loud, you do not have to listen to it. Tell the negative voice it is no longer welcome.
Thank the voice for the lessons it has taught you and wish it farewell. You have the ability & power to rewire your brain.
You are reading my blog because a larger force has brought you here for a reason. It is time to start healing. You can’t find yourself until you get lost.
Getting lost is uncomfortable and painful but I assure you finding your way back will open up the flood gates to a life that you have always wanted—one with confidence, peace of mind, happiness, abundance, and prosperity.
