Limiting beliefs serve as a false sense of protection. Think of a moment that you hurt yourself trying something new and then you never tried it again. This is the start of creating a negative thought pattern, and fear based living. You become fearful of failing, or chip away at your self worth and self- acceptance.
Limiting beliefs begins to rob you of reaching your full potential, and with everything you can begin to remove the things which no longer serve or add good things to your life.
What are beliefs?
Beliefs according to the Webster dictionary means: A feeling of being sure that someone or something exists or that something is true.
Our beliefs are a part of our mental pattern and they are derived from many locations such as our childhood, life experiences, and things that we were taught.
Out of all these experiences our minds create patterns of beliefs and generalizations to meet an internal need. For example you are six years old trying out your bike without training wheels and you suddenly fall and don’t want to try again because you believe that you will fall again. The thought pattern begins to prohibit you from going forward and trying again.

Message from GuidedMind.com: Change your negative beliefs and become positive.
As you begin to make these new habits apart of your day, your mind begins to reprogram and turn over a new leaf.
You realize that you are worthy and circumstances do not dictate your worth or your ability to try and try again. Failure becomes a part of your plan and a leveraging opportunity.
Today trust the process and begin to peel away old strategies that don’t align with making you feel fulfilled but rather consumed with doom. Become co-creator of your life and rejoice that you have designed a new beginning.
