what is a limiting belief?

A limiting belief is a thought or belief that constrains us from achieving our full potential or pursuing our goals. It is a belief that we hold about ourselves, others, or the world around us, which creates self-imposed limitations and hinders personal growth. These beliefs often stem from past experiences, societal conditioning, or negative self-perception. Identifying and challenging these beliefs can help individuals overcome self-imposed barriers and strive for personal fulfillment.

These limiting beliefs can have several origins:

• Personal beliefs are those experiences that were lived by the person.

• Hereditary experiences and beliefs that are related to the way we were created, the ideas and behaviors that we observe our entire lives.

• Social circles of the people around you and those who can influence you.

•The World can impose standards that generate limiting beliefs.  

So, how can you overcome your limiting beliefs?
