Limiting beliefs are beliefs that we have about ourselves and our lives that are preventing us from living our best lives and being happy.
It’s a sad truth that many of us have our own unique set of limiting beliefs. They can end up ruling our lives, guiding our decisions, and making us feel outright miserable.
However, it doesn’t have to be like that. We have a choice to nip those beliefs in the bud and start thriving.
I’m walking you through several popular limiting beliefs that are keeping you from thriving and living your best, most successful life.
1. You’re not good enough.
We usually develop this viewpoint sometime during our childhood. Someone along the way shamed us, guilted us, and/or scolded us. It led to these feelings of being inadequate.
For some, not feeling “good enough” is crippling. We heard it so often and frequently that, even if we’re not hearing it anymore, we find ways to manifest it into our lives.
Perfect isn’t a requirement for your life. Don’t set yourself to that impossible standard. You’re human. You’re allowed to be human. You’re allowed to learn and grow at a pace that makes sense for you.
2. Nobody cares.
Well, the truth is that we’re usually thinking of ourselves much more than other people are. That can be comforting in times when you feel like everyone is looking at you and it can be painful in times when you’re going through hard shit.
People care. The people who know you care. Most of the time, when you feel like they don’t, it’s because you haven’t opened up to them about what’s really going on.
How can people support you if they don’t know where you need support?
Mind-reading is a fun theory. But, it’s really just a theory. Let people care by letting them in.
3. You’ll probably fail.
Honestly, yes, you’re going to fail. Failure isn’t a bad thing. Read why you should embrace it instead.
Failing is part of trying. If you’re not failing, you’re not trying and you’re not making progress.
Is it embarrassing? It can be. Should it be avoided at all costs? No.
Don’t take something off the table because you think you’ll fail. If anything, that’s more of a reason to go for it. You never know unless you try. And, having the regret of not knowing and not trying is much more painful than failing.

The universe isn’t out to get you. You’re not doomed to unlucky situations forever. It can feel that way when it’s just one thing after another.
Usually, when we feel that way, it’s not because there’s nothing good going on life. It’s because we’re so hyper-focused on the negatives that it cancels everything else out.
You do deserve good things. All the time. You do deserve a good life. You do deserve people who love you and care about you. You do deserve happiness.
The key to all this isn’t leaving it up to life to decide, but to decide that you deserve and have the good things already.
5. You’re just too broken.
No one is too broken. No one is too damaged. Life may have thrown you some hard punches, but you can absolutely make a comeback.
The only deciding factor as to whether or not you can bounce back from the hell you went through is you. You can come back from anything.
You are not too broken to heal. You are not too broken to chase after your dreams. You are not too broken to have good people in your life.
This guided workbook is going to bring you into your fullest self and prove to you that you are not too broken.
6. You’re stuck.
Feeling “stuck” is typically a symptom of impending change. It can feel counterintuitive, but in reality, your life is most likely about to pivot a different direction. It may be a small pivot or it may be a life-altering one.
Either way, you are never stuck. You always have choices. You always have next moves you can make.
What’s really making you feel “stuck” are your expectations for how things should be instead of accepting them as they are. Acceptance doesn’t mean you have to like your reality. But it makes it that much easier to charge on when you’re facing it.
7. No one will believe you.
This tends to be an intense limiting belief for those of us who have been through trauma and unimaginable situations.
Why speak out if no one will listen? Why try to make a point if it’s not even valid?
These are all thoughts that may have crossed your mind. However, they’re just thoughts; they’re not grounded in reality.
Realistically, the people who care are inclined to believe you when you speak. When you speak from a place of integrity and authenticity, it can be felt.
