This is a meditation to help you overcome limiting beliefs. Now, limiting beliefs are negative thoughts we hold about ourselves and our abilities that often stem from past experiences or societal conditioning. Overcoming limiting beliefs is critical because they act as barriers, preventing us from achieving our goals and living fulfilling lives.

Starting point is 00:00:53 We often won't even pursue things that we have limiting beliefs about because deep down we think that we'll never succeed at them. These beliefs can lead us to feel empty and unfulfulfileged. filled with life. But by challenging and overcoming these beliefs, we open ourselves up to the life we've always been looking for. And that's exactly what this meditation is designed to help you do. So go ahead and find a comfortable position that you'd like to meditate in. If you've been here before, you probably know that I recommend you sit up while you meditate. And that's simply so you don't fall asleep. The truth is you can meditate in any position that you like. And once you've settled in and found that position, just take a nice deep breath in. Fill all the way up,

Starting point is 00:01:50 hold at the top, and then exhale, release, and just go ahead and slowly close your eyes. And as you continue settling in here, you can just follow the natural rise and fall of your own breath. There's no particular speed or pace that's required. Just do what feels natural, smooth, and effortless to you. And as you follow your breath, just allow your body to relax down. Let go. Soften the muscles of your face. Drop your jaw and relax your shoulders down.

Starting point is 00:03:03 There's nothing else you need to do right now. You can just be here. So give in to this moment. There's no work that's required. You can simply follow the sound of my voice and the simple guidance that I'll give you. And from time to time, your mind may wander off. And that's perfectly fine, it's perfectly normal.

Starting point is 00:03:34 Because no matter what your conscious mind is doing, your subconscious is always listening. And it's in our subconscious, where limiting beliefs live. So, now that you're nice and settled in, identify something that you feel is missing in your life, a dream you've always had, but never fully pursued. A relationship, career, health, or financial goal.

Starting point is 00:04:24 Anything that you want, but you just can't seem to move towards or reach. And there may be multiple things that you can identify. But for now, Just pick one. Why do you feel that this thing is missing in your life? Have you pursued it before and not quite reached it? Or have you held back from pursuing it altogether?

Starting point is 00:05:00 Your memories as they pertain to this goal. What decisions have you made or avoided that might be affecting it? And simply review your past without judgment. This is an exploration. It's not a blame game. So hopefully now you've identified some moments where you made decisions or avoided situations that stopped or prevented your progress towards this goal, this dream that you want. In those moments, what made you act the way you did?

Starting point is 00:06:17 What was your thought process? What underlying beliefs informed your behavior? These are going to be your limiting beliefs. Now you've identified some limiting beliefs that are holding you back. So focus in on them for a moment and try to figure out where they came from. When was that seed planted? Certainly, it didn't come from within you. They were planted in you by society, by parents or teachers.

Starting point is 00:07:26 There are tons of possible sources. So try to explore those right now. those right now. And again, there's no need to blame anyone. We're just here to learn. Now that you've identified the source or sources of these beliefs, consider whether they're actually true. I'd be willing to bet you can come up with tons of reasons and examples showing that they're not. So just take a moment to do that now. Challenge that limiting belief in your mind. Now it doesn't really matter where these limiting beliefs came from, whether they were instilled in you unintentionally or with malice. What matters is that these beliefs are not

Starting point is 00:09:10 accurate, and they're holding you back from the life you want. So go back to those moments where these beliefs were instilled in you. Visualize yourself there right now, and when those limiting words are said to you. Stand up for yourself this time. Say, that's simply not true. And I won't let these ideas prevent me from living a fulfilling, happy life. Now do that again with a little more confidence this time. That's not true. And I won't let these limiting ideas prevent me from living a fulfilling, happy life. Fantastic. You're doing great. I'm so proud of you for confronting that moment, and you should be proud of yourself too. We don't always have the skills necessary to deal with limiting ideas in the moments they're presented to us.

Starting point is 00:10:53 But we can rectify them after the fact, as you've just done right now. So let's get these limiting beliefs out of you for good. We store the stress of harmful ideas like these in our bodies. So we'll collect that stress now, that hint up tension, and we'll release it for good with a few deep breaths. So visualize collecting all of the built-up pressure inside of you from these limiting beliefs, the self-doubt, the guilt of not pursuing or reaching your goals.

Starting point is 00:11:35 Inhale deeply and collect all of that, then exhale and expel it from your body. Let it go. Again, inhale, collecting all of that tension from the limiting beliefs built up inside of you. And then exhale, release. Feeling yourself grow lighter as that tension fades. Last time, inhale, deepest one yet. Then exhale, release, and let go of that limiting belief for good.

Starting point is 00:12:29 Feel yourself, relaxing even deeper. feel the freedom in your mind, the lightness in your body, now that those limiting beliefs are gone. And just take another moment to enjoy this sensation of freedom. Before we wrap up, well, it's about time to wrap up our meditation. So whenever you're ready, begin to bring yourself back. Notice whatever's supporting you, whether that's a chair, the floor, or something else. Feel the air on your skin.

Starting point is 00:13:41 in and notice any sounds going on around you. Take one final deep breath in, and as you exhale, you can slowly open your eyes, collect yourself, and come out of that. Well, my friend, I hope you enjoyed that meditation, that you're feeling a bit lighter in your body, and most of all, that you're feeling inspired to leave those limiting beliefs behind for good so that you can pursue the things you've always dreamt of. Releasing limiting beliefs is not a small task. It takes great self-awareness and self-belief.

Starting point is 00:14:33 So for that, I want to say I'm proud of you. Keep coming back here and repeating this to make sure those beliefs are expelled for good. And don't wait another second to start pursuing those things you've always dreamt of. You can do anything. And I can't wait to see you living the happy, fulfilling life you deserve.
