Limiting beliefs and how they sabotage us

Most of us want to make changes in life and we feel like we have a great intention to do that - we can say out loud "this time i will do that!". Quite often we find ourselves going around in circles and upon not being able to make a change even tell ourselves "we failed".

Change takes time, change is messy and there are setbacks. There are even studies saying that on average making a meaningful change can take up to 2 years. I can certainly vouch for that, amen!

There are many elements to make meaningful change - certainly awareness and intention are key to get you started and off the ground.

In my coaching i also look out for something called "limiting beliefs". We all have them and they are buried as beliefs in our subconscious. They have perhaps served a purpose in our lives. We all have these automatic beliefs and it shows how powerful our subconscious is - truly magnificent!

Unfortunately our brains often get in wrong. Beliefs like: "I am too old for this"; "I am not good at planning things"; "I am not good enough for this person"; "I have to make everyone happy" - they become truth for us and shape our reality. Such is the power of our subconscious. It can override our best intentions and sabotage us. Super powerful stuff but often inappropriate!

You and I have the power to change that and there are science based tools for that such as NLP and others. There are no magic pills, just belief in change and repetition. And then more repetition. In coaching we will bring those beliefs into daylight - even having awareness about them can be powerful.
