Each of us believe in several things. Probably you have faith in God, probably you believe that the earth is enduring, probably you think that the sun will shine tomorrow morning.
You most certainly have viewpoints regarding yourself: You might believe that you are a artiste or an excellent golfer or a endearing person. But you most certainly even have negative beliefs regarding yourself: You may think that you are too fat or that you do not have adequate education to earn a lot of money or that you are not gorgeous enough to find a lover. These are your Limiting Beliefs!
And we all have them! Without exception! You just have to "listen" to your self talk going on in your head! Is it always optimistic? I bet it is not. There will regularly be statements such as "This won't work", "I am too stupid" or "If only I were smarter".
How do Limiting Beliefs direct to Self Sabotage?
Think about it! If you truly think that you are not good-looking enough to find a lover, you will most possibly discontinue hunting for one. If you really believe that you are not skilled enough to obtain a good job, you will most likely stop applying for the job you would wish. This is the primary step of Self Sabotage.
It might also go further: Let's assume you consider that you are not educated enough to find the job of your dreams. And for some cause (possibly your father, some friend or "fate" opened the opportunity for you) you DO get this job. If your Limiting Belief (not being educated enough) is strong enough, you will subconsciously be forced into actions that direct to your losing this job after some time. Possibly you will make stupid mistakes (mistakes that are untypical of you), maybe you will unconsciously rouse situations which direct to your being late at work nearly every morning, who knows!
Limiting Beliefs lead to Self Sabotage! That is a fact! This is not a character fault, it is simply the way it is! And you can merely do one thing concerning it:
Eliminate your limiting beliefs!
