Introduction: What Are Limiting Beliefs?
Limiting beliefs are the subconscious thoughts and patterns that hold us back from living our best life. These beliefs are often formed from past experiences, societal conditioning, or fear of failure. They can sound like: “I’m not good enough,” “I don’t deserve success,” or “Things never work out for me.” These thoughts not only sabotage our goals but also block us from manifesting the life we truly desire.
As Henry Ford famously said, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right.” Your beliefs shape your reality, so if you want to manifest your best life, you need to start by identifying and releasing your limiting beliefs.
The Impact of Limiting Beliefs on Manifestation
Limiting beliefs create resistance in your vibration, which can slow down or block your manifestations. When you hold negative beliefs about yourself or your abilities, you lower your vibrational frequency, sending mixed signals to the universe. The universe responds to the energy you put out, so if you’re focused on lack or fear, that’s exactly what you’ll attract.
For example, if you believe that money is hard to come by, you’ll continue to experience financial struggles. However, if you shift your belief to “I am worthy of abundance,” you align with the energy of wealth and open yourself up to new opportunities.
Limiting beliefs also affect your ability to take inspired action. If you don’t believe in your worth, you’ll hesitate or avoid pursuing your dreams altogether. This self-doubt blocks the flow of abundance that the universe wants to bring into your life. To truly manifest the life you desire, you must shift these beliefs and step into your power.
Identifying Your Limiting Beliefs
Before you can overcome limiting beliefs, you need to identify them. This step requires introspection and self-awareness. Ask yourself these questions:
- What recurring thoughts or fears do I have about success, money, love, or happiness?
- When I set a goal, what’s the first thought that comes to mind?
- Are there areas of my life where I consistently feel stuck or unworthy?
Another powerful way to uncover your limiting beliefs is through shadow work. Shadow work involves exploring the hidden parts of your psyche that hold onto fear, shame, and doubt. You can dive deeper into this process with my Shadow Work Journal Prompts, which will guide you through identifying and releasing these negative patterns.
Journaling is a great tool to help you get clarity on what beliefs are holding you back. Write down your fears, doubts, and any negative thoughts that arise. Once you identify these beliefs, you can begin the process of replacing them with empowering ones.
Steps to Overcome Limiting Beliefs
1. Acknowledge and Accept Your Beliefs
The first step in overcoming limiting beliefs is acknowledging them without judgment. It’s important to understand that these beliefs were formed as a protective mechanism, but they no longer serve you. Accepting them allows you to release their grip on your life.
2. Challenge the Beliefs
Once you’ve identified a limiting belief, question its validity. Ask yourself, “Is this belief true? Where did it come from?” Often, these beliefs stem from past experiences that no longer apply to your current reality. By challenging them, you start to see that they’re not absolute truths, but simply perceptions you’ve adopted over time.
For example, if you believe “I’m not good enough,” ask yourself, “What evidence do I have that proves I’m not capable?” Chances are, you’ll realize that this belief isn’t grounded in truth but is rooted in past insecurities.
3. Replace the Belief with an Empowering One
Once you’ve challenged the limiting belief, replace it with a new, empowering one. If you believed, “I’m not deserving of success,” replace it with, “I am worthy of achieving my dreams.” Repeating this new belief helps rewire your brain to think positively about your goals.
Affirmations are a powerful tool for replacing limiting beliefs. Try using affirmations to help shift your mindset.
4. Take Aligned Action
Overcoming limiting beliefs isn’t just about changing your thoughts – it’s also about taking action that aligns with your new beliefs. If you’ve replaced a belief about your worth, start showing up in your life as someone who believes they’re worthy. Whether it’s pursuing a new career opportunity, working on your mindset, or investing in personal growth, taking action is essential to manifesting your best life.

Real-Life Examples of Breaking Free from Limiting Beliefs
Example 1: Career Success
Maria always believed that she wasn’t smart enough to pursue her dream career in tech. This limiting belief held her back for years, leading her to settle for jobs she didn’t enjoy. After working through her limiting beliefs and shifting her mindset, Maria started applying for tech roles and soon landed a job that aligned with her passion. By overcoming her self-doubt, she manifested a career she once thought was out of reach.
Example 2: Attracting Abundance
Lily grew up believing that money was scarce and difficult to attain. This belief carried into adulthood, where she often struggled financially despite working hard. Once Lily realized this was a limiting belief, she began using affirmations and visualizations to reprogram her mindset around money. Within months, new financial opportunities began flowing into her life, including a promotion and a successful side business.
Both of these women were able to overcome their limiting beliefs and manifest their desires by doing the inner work. If you’re ready to break free from your limiting beliefs and start manifesting the life you deserve, book a coaching session with me today here.
Mindset Shifts for Lasting Transformation
Overcoming limiting beliefs isn’t a one-time task; it’s an ongoing process of growth and self-awareness. Here are a few mindset shifts that can help you maintain your progress:
- Abundance Mindset: Shift from a mindset of lack to one of abundance. Believe that there is more than enough for everyone and that you are worthy of receiving all that you desire.
- Growth Mindset: Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth. Instead of seeing failure as a setback, view it as a stepping stone to success.
