We seem to categorize our beliefs into two buckets:
Limiting beliefs.
All other beliefs.
Here's the thing...all beliefs are limiting. That's their job.
They filter out any information that seems irrelevant or that doesn't support them and, wait for it...they tend to draw our attention towards things that support them. The point being that maybe what we call "limiting beliefs" are beliefs we no longer hold and...that's okay! That's growth
It's very likely that you have some beliefs that you're hanging on to that aren't actually yours. Your entire life you've been influenced by others. That's pretty normal, and when some of those beliefs are stopping you from growing, or aren't resonating for you anymore it may be time to pay attention a bit more. What belief are you hanging onto that's no longer useful for this phase of your life?
We're not meant to have the same beliefs we had as children, or the previous versions of ourselves. With wisdom and experience our beliefs will change. It's being open to this concept, allowing yourself to change an opinion or viewpoint that no longer represents the person you are now.
It's acknowledging that was then, this is now. People change. Their accompanying beliefs can too.
We usually don't question our beliefs until we come to a crossroads, perhaps where the beliefs that we have are conflicting with the direction we want to move towards. That's usually when the questioning begins. This can feel uncomfortable because if you believed in something, a concept, or an idea and all of a sudden you're questioning it, it can be confronting.
Are you ready?
Let's get to it...
Your challenge...
This is not about throwing your beliefs out the window. It's an invitation to start noticing which ones aren't resonating anymore. Sometimes growth and change are going to rattle those beliefs.That's the time to ask yourself: Is this belief still true for me? Listen to the whisper.
When a belief becomes a roadblock to your desired growth, maybe it's time to let it go.
