By definition, a limiting belief is a certain state of mind, conviction or belief one has about themselves that limits their abilities in some way. In other words, or in Stef’s words, it’s your own bitch ass thoughts getting in the way of you being successful or in some cases happy!!!! Let me expand on this. For YEARS, I had the limiting belief that nobody would ever care about anything I had to say online and I could NEVER be successful as an entrepreneur (in any sense of the word). WRONG! I was playing small, I would never talk on videos because I hated how my voice sounded, I would never go live, I would never comment on stranger’s posts or reach out to people because in my head I was like “why would they care what I have to say or if I like something they do?” Turns out, a lot of fucking people care and are inspired by ME, little old, mouth of a sailor, tattoo covered ME!
For so long, I allowed my negative self-talk to take over and I played small, I shared minimal videos with no actual engagement. Once I said fuck it and started just being me, people came outta the wood work wanting to know what I was doing, how I was, where I was getting my clothes from, complimenting me, asking what recipes I was making, you name it they wanted to know! For years, I had a limiting belief about leaving my marriage, telling myself could never afford it on my own, convincing myself my son would be worse off if I left, telling myself people would be disappointed in me for failing in my marriage. I think limiting self-beliefs and negative self-talk go hand in hand. One feeds the other so to speak. I tell myself I will never make a million dollars because I don’t have “XYZ like so and so” or because I internally believe I don’t deserve it. These thoughts go in a circle and if I allow them to they will continue in a viscous cycle. I have a strong believe in manifesting what I want, and to do so, I have to believe in what I want to be true or what I want to happen as if it is happening now. THIS is how you challenge those limiting beliefs or even your negative self-talk. When you limit yourself in your mind, your mind has no idea it’s not true. If I’m constantly telling myself I will never lose the weight, I will never be able to be debt free, or I will never be able to retire, my brain will believe those to be true. Using definitive words such as “always” and “never” are incredibly damaging. Such as “I’m always stressed out” or “I’m never gonna be financially free”. STOP doing that shit, you are literally speaking it into existence and shooting yourself in the foot. From now on, speak and live as the future goddess you are in whatever sense of the word. I believe in you and you will too!!!!
