Have you ever heard of self-limiting beliefs?
I until very recently, I had never heard the term, but upon learning what it is, I knew it was something that I had. A Self-limiting belief is any belief that you have about yourself that limits you or holds you back in some way or another.
Whether they are super specific, like “I can’t dance!” or whether they’re generic like “I’m just not good enough,” self-limiting beliefs can cause some lasting damage.
But the good news is that they can be unlearned, and I’m going to tell you how in this week’s podcast.
