Taking the Right Steps to Eliminate Limiting Beliefs

Each person has their own set of beliefs. Beliefs are so ingrained in each person to the extent that while some may make sense, others question where they came from and why they have them. Some beliefs are emotional, other are psychological, and some are held so highly in a person’s mental make-up that they are considered to be absolute no matter what.

People are not born with beliefs.  Rather, they acquire them all throughout their lives. Many beliefs are obtained in childhood and the adolescent period, through the different interactions people have with others – be it being scolded by adults or praised by peers. Thus, many beliefs that a person has are about relationships, as they are usually the ones with the most emotional impact both positive and negative.

Some researchers have theorized that some beliefs hold a person back from pursuing his dreams or desires.  They often serve no purpose other than to weigh people down with excess baggage. These are called limiting beliefs, and while a person may realize or become aware of them eventually, very few actually take steps to eliminate limiting beliefs. This is because some may consider these beliefs too ingrained to remove or all too familiar. Limiting beliefs may be considered a person’s comfort blanket or zone.  Stepping out of them or changing them completely could prove to be a challenge.

Some examples of limiting beliefs are:

  • “I don’t deserve to love or be loved”
  • “I’m not good enough”
  • “I’m not smart enough”
  • “Who would ever want to buy what I have to sell?”
  • “I’m too old to do…”
  • “I’m too young to do…”

Many guides have popped up all over the internet to help people change or remove their limiting beliefs. The guides make it seem easy, but a person needs to remember that a belief can be so ingrained that it could be hard to think of a counter-belief or discard it completely. Here are some steps to eliminate limiting beliefs:

 

Identify the Limiting Beliefs

The first step to change is accepting that a person must change. On a piece of paper, a person who wants toeliminate his limiting beliefs can write each one (or dispense the paper completely and do some mental reflection). This step is crucial because a person has to be brutally honest to himself about what he wants to change and what exactly his limiting beliefs are.

A good way of identifying limiting beliefs is to start with the phrase “I am afraid that I…” then completing it. A person’s fears, no matter how irrational, are usually the stem of many limiting beliefs. Once a person has identified his inner demons and is ready to accept that he must break free of them, he can move on to the next step.

Taking the Right Steps to Eliminate Limiting Beliefs 1

Challenge the Beliefs

Once the limiting beliefs have been identified or written down, the next thing a person must do is challenge them. This done by giving a counter-argument or counter-instance against the belief. For instance, a person’s belief could be “I am a terrible writer.” The counter-instance to this belief could be “But I was able to write a published article back then.” For each belief, a person must think of an instance where the belief was not completely true. It could be derived from a person’s own experiences or through the experiences of his friends, coworkers, or family members.

When Had These Beliefs Held a Person Back?

This question is an important question to ask while taking the steps to eliminate limiting beliefs. This is because this question requires a person to look deep into one-self and remember all those times he wanted to do something or wanted something but was held back by his beliefs. Some supplementary questions that could accompany this one could be:

While asking himself these questions, a person can also dig deep into his past experiences to find the root of these limiting beliefs. Which specific memories helped propagate these beliefs and which were the most emotionally charged ones?

Write New Beliefs and Repeat as Many Times as Necessary

Once a person has identified his limiting beliefs, written counter-instances, and found the roots of these beliefs, he should write out new beliefs that will empower him. For instance, his limiting belief could have been “I am a terrible writer.” After much reflection and introspection, his new belief could be “my writing isn’t the best, but with a lot of practice, I will become better.” Repeat this step as many times as necessary.

Destined for Something Greater

Destined for Something Greater

Imagine holding a coin right in front of your eyes. Assume that coin is your obstacle to success and everything else is your success story in waiting. Now, slowly move the coin further and further away from your face. What do you see? Your success stories come to life. All you need out do is reach out and grab them.
You are destined for success. Your future is great. But the obstacle you are focusing too much on is blinding you from the amazing opportunities you should be pursuing. What you see instead is a dark world with nothing but your failures and the huge obstacle that you think you cannot overcome.
Another way to see this is imagining that you are a traveler who has come upon a tall steep hill on his path. You cannot go over it and you do not see a way around it. Now, imagine walking some distance away from the hill. Suddenly, you can see several paths to get you past the obstacle before you.
Are you focusing too much on the obstacles or problems in your life that you fail to see the opportunities all around you? As long as you dwell on the things blocking the path to your goal – be it weight loss, wealth, career success or a happy relationship – you will never a find a way out. You will keep trying to reach your goal but every time the obstacle blinds you to the many other paths you could take to reach where you want to be.
Here are four ways that many people focus on their obstacles, problems or inadequacies and in the process, stagnate in the same place for years.

Destined for Something Greater

1. Self-pity

This is one of the most useless, damaging and addictive of human emotions. When you are in a lonely pity party, you tend to focus on your failures and perceived inadequacies. You keep on focusing on that obstacle that made you fail before, instead of taking a step back and looking for the opportunities lying in wait all around.

2. Regrets

There is nothing that impedes progress more than the past. We all make mistakes, some small others really big. It is a defining characteristic of being human. While those mistakes may have had grave consequences and even hurt other people, you cannot go back in time to change things, no matter how hard you wish for it. Regrets keeps your focus on past failures, stifling any progress you might make towards your goals.

3. Fear

Are you afraid that you are not creative enough for that job? Not good enough to date him or her? Not smart enough to get rich? All these perceptions of our inadequacies are obstacles, which if you focus on them, you will never realize that they are all lies.
Do you want to discover your strengths? Then, stop letting fear take your attention away from your goals and on the tiny obstacles that should not even bother you.

4. Low self esteem

This one is closely tied to fear and self-pity. Low self-esteem is borne out of fear and constant self-pity. It goes from just being negative thoughts to a powerful negative mindset. You now believe that you will never achieve your goals because your mind has tricked you into focusing all your attention on the looming obstacle blocking your path. That obstacle could be your background, your physical looks or your past failures.

Shifting Focus

It is a natural reflex to focus on our obstacles. Shifting your focus will therefore take deliberate effort. You have to decide that instead of always looking down at the rocks, thorns and ditches that block your way, you are going to look straight ahead at the finish line.
Something amazing happens when you shift focus from your problems and onto your goals. Though your obstacles do not magically disappear, they turn into challenges. You also discover a great power within you to tackle these challenges.
Those obstacles that kept you from success now become milestones that build you and with each one, you get stronger. Do not think about how hard the journey will be or how long it will take; effort and time are two other obstacles you should not be focusing on.
All your attention and passion should be on what you want to achieve. You will not even realize it when the finish line suddenly comes upon you. Even better, you will be excited and ready to achieve many other goals. Always remember you are Destined for Something Greater

Good leadership is one of the key factors that will make an organization prosper. A combination of connection and authority is what makes a good leader. It is therefore important that organizational leaders develop and improve their connection skills.

There are several cases where managers have failed to become good leaders. This is mainly due to poor connection skills. They therefore need some help in developing the necessary leadership skills that will help them improve their connection with people.a

Below are the 10 ways to improve your connection skills.

Appreciate varying connection needs

This is the first thing in the 10 ways to improve your connection skills. It is important to acknowledge the fact that people have varying inclinations in terms of feeling connected or not. An action will also make people to react in different ways whether they feel connected or not. You are therefore required to learn about, and understand the people that you lead and then gear your behavior in order to connect in response to different individuals and what you have learned about them.

Avoid dwelling much on negatives and emphasize more on positives

Good connection where there is affirmation and recognition. People like to feel recognized, so find a way of affirming and serving others. Do not just affirm them, but identify their strengths in both tasks and character. These strengths are exhibited by a person’s excellence in work and the way they go about their daily work respectively.

Pay attention while conversing

For any good relationship, there need to be complete attention from both parties. You need to be present in conversations by paying full attention to what is being said.

Make the person feel your presents by asking questions. Go further to asking follow up questions to seek some clarification. Pay attention to body language and facial expression. Avoid things like looking around, switching your mind to other things or checking your phone. This is because they serve to break the connection.

Control your voice tone

The way your message will be delivered has more effect than the message itself. People react more on how the message is delivered even before they hear the content of the message. A harsh, rough or a rasping voice will make a person to react negatively. This may serve to put up a wall between you and them as they will feel threatened. A polite tone would serve better.

Have empathy; develop that ability to empathize

People around us will always have emotions. People will feel connected to you when you have empathy towards them when they need it. They will feel connected when you feel their emotions. Feeling their positive emotion will enhance the positive emotion that they are feeling. When you share in their pain, the pain will diminish. It is natural for anyone to feel an emotion when someone else expresses it.

When negotiating, have a mindset of solving a problem, not winning

Exhibiting and maintaining the right mindset with the people while you are negotiating will help build good connections. Do not take the people you are negotiating with as your rivals. This is because it will lead to mistrust and suspicion, hence bringing about disconnection. You need to try to find a means of finding a win-win solution. This will require some patience, perseverance, probing and understanding of others’ perceptions and objectives

Admit your mistake.

No one is perfect, we all make mistakes but what makes the difference is when we apologize. It is hard for many people to say sorry. A mistake destroys a connection but once we apologize, the connection will be rebuilt.

Give the people you are leading autonomy in performing tasks

It is good to monitor the progress of those reporting to you, but give them some autonomy. Do not be too inclined to rules and conditions. Be there when they need some clarifications. This will enhance personal growth and serve to meet the human need for independence and autonomy.

Keep in mind and apply the 5 languages of appreciation

These languages include; gifts, acts of service, words of affirmation and quality time.

Ask your juniors about the times they have been recognized at workplace. Learn their primary and secondary appreciation languages.

Learn the difference between social and relationship skills and develop them

Having social skills is an excellent way that one can develop good connections. It is also important to have relationship skills as they will help to create strong connections with people. Things like regularly spend time with friends, sharing in their joy and pain and being there for them when they need you will lead to deeper and stronger connections with people.

It is important to note that good connections will lead to greater productivity, healthy and happiness.

Use the above 10 ways to improve your connection skills, Start connecting today and then see what will happen. Be ready for a great positive impact in your life.

5 tips for Overcoming a Failure

5 tips for Overcoming a Failure

Napoleon Hill once said that “Failure seems to be nature’s plan for preparing us for great responsibilities.” Have you ever seen a child learning how to ride a bike? They will stumble and fall a couple of times of times before they get it right. When you make a mistake, you should take it as a learning opportunity but not a failure. It takes a failure after a failure to create success. This is how you know the difference between successful people and those who are not. Successful people are fighters, they struggle to the last stroke and they still do not quit. When it comes to business, having goals and creating plans to achieve those goals is part of achieving success. However, there are times those goals do not come to fruition. During such instances, there are two decisions to choose from. The first one is fold your cards and get heartbroken and never return to that venture again or pick yourselves up take heart and continue with your mission this time with a lesson and more energy. This is what is called success, walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm. The following 5 tips for Overcoming a Failure are something I often use to keep me going even after a massive failure.

5 tips for Overcoming a Failure

  1. Acceptance

First and foremost, you need to understand that there are some things that are beyond our control. You are not your mistakes and the quicker you accept this fact the faster you are likely to move on. The fact you have not found a successful way to do something does not mean you are failure. Personalizing failure is likely to wreck havoc and kill your confidence and self esteem. Therefore, the faster you accept, the quicker you are likely to leave these debilitating monopolizing thoughts behind and try again this time better.

  1. Talk to someone

You are not the first person to ever fail. There are so many people out there who have probably gone through a similar situation or even worse and still ended up being successful. Talk to someone you are comfortable with about how you feel. Remember, just by talking about your problem, you achieve a half solution to it. You will come to realize that by doing this the person you talked to will try to make you feel better by encouraging or giving you a better solution and even if they do not, at least you will have gotten the chance to take off what you have been holding in your chest.

  1. Think positive

Look at your failure positively suspending feelings of anger, blame, frustrations and regret. If you do not like the outcome of something, you have the liberty of changing it and if you cannot change it, change the way you think about. This applies to failure. According to Winston Churchill, “Success is moving from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.” The mind has to accept first that it can do something even before it can achieve it. Negative thoughts always end up with negative results while positive thinking always ends up with positive results. Things always turn the best for people who always think well about themselves.

  1. Ignore Negative People

Most a times, our fear of failure is often rooted in the fear of being judged. In the process, we easily get influenced by others opinion of us. Take note this is about you and not them and if you easily get influenced by the opinion of others, then you will never progress. Do not give too much energy to what they say about you and instead, focus on what you really want and learn to improve it and ignore all the negative people.

  1. Life Goes on

Mistakes are a bad experience when they happen but years later, a collection of the same mistakes also called experience lead to success. When the outcome of your expectation comes out bad, it is going to be tagged an experience. Your mind is the mindset of your success and you have to learn to forgive yourself and others and learn from the mistakes. Remember when you stall and somber over your mistake, life still goes on. Therefore, the earlier you realize this, the better.

It is wise to accept failure. Failure is a teaching tool and it will get you much closer to your success.

I hope this short post 5 tips for Overcoming a Failure will help you succeed in life. Always rememeber you aredestined to have achieve something bigger.

HOW POSITIVE ATTITUDE INCREASES SUCCESS

hope

Having a positive attitude is one way through which some people are able to achieve more than the rest. Positive thoughts acts as a driving force against all the odds and challenges that discourage people from going on. As much as it sounds useful on the surface, it is easily dismissed. It does not carry much weight in the real world as other terms like persistence or work ethic. But this is slowly changing as psychology researchers are revealing amazing facts about the power of positive thinking. Recent studies have revealed that positive thinking is not only about being happy or displaying a winning attitude always. Positive thinking actually creates real positive values in a person that enable them to achieve more, build more skills and enhance their productivity.

 

If your productivity is not up to your expectation, the best think you can do is try and search the cause of your failure from within yourself. While you may tend to think that you are unhappy because you are not performing to your expectations, it may be that you are not performing to your expectations because of your unhappy attitude towards what you are doing.

Positive thinking can greatly influence how much you achieve by helping you in accepting challenges, regulating your emotions when the going gets rough, helping you accept criticism and accepting feedback from others. It also enhances your relationship with others and increases your ability to enjoy your life. The impact that positive thinking has on your life, your work and your health is unimaginable. The success you can achieve by being positive about every situation you face is much more than you can achieve through any other way. The following are some of the ways a positive attitude increases success.

A positive attitude attracts supporters.

If you are always complaining or focusing on the negative side of things, you will push away people. Nobody likes people who love complaining. This means you would push away what would rather turn out to be your support. Being positive will attract more support from your colleagues at work, your supervisor and even your own self. You will commit yourself more to something you are positive about than something you are negative about. This support pushes your closer towards your success and eventually you achieve your dreams.

Contribution to a healthy working environment.

Positive attitude towards your colleagues enhances your coexistence with them. The conducive environment created by being optimistic about the future events, encouraging each other and staying positive about the current situation helps each individual feel confident. This kind of a working environment is what best enhances the growth of talents, expression of new ideas and eventually self-fulfillment. Being friendly to other people depends highly on how you view yourself and how you feel deep within you. If your inner emotions are negative, you are more likely to manifest negativity to your colleagues which may ruin the working environment thereby limiting your success and achievements.

Opens up your creativity.

Among the ways a positive attitude increases success is improving our imaginations and creativity. Positive attitude opens up the imagination and your sense of possibility. Staying positive will help you keep you mind wide open for new ideas. It also helps in focusing on problem solving. The increased creativity helps you in working smarter and faster. It also boosts your imaginative ability to device new methods of achieving efficiency. It also enhances the ability to foresee problems and challenges before they arise, and avoiding them where possible and reducing their impact if unavoidable.

Building your skills.

A positive attitude affects all your skills. Your interpersonal skills will improve through having a positive attitude. More people will be willing to be associated with you if you make them feel inspired. Other skills may be acquired through trying new ideas and doing things differently. The good thing is that skills will propel you towards achieving your dreams.

Other ways a positive attitude increase performance include; good time management and being proactive. With a positive attitude, you will only focus on the bright side of life. This doesn’t mean that you ignore the problems and challenges that you face. It means that you will view them positively and think of how you can get the best out of them.I hope this post on HOW POSITIVE ATTITUDE INCREASES SUCCESS  your positive attitude manifest through positive thinking, constructive thinking and creativity.

Robert Kiyosaki once said that It’s not how much money you make, but how much money you keep, how hard it works for you, and how many generations you keep it for. The best long-term strategy for financial affairs puts in place the disciplines and mechanism that help you save mindlessly and spend thoughtfully. Here are some solution.

Pay Off Your Loan/ Do not take loan. Paying loan off early or not taking loan at all reduces stress. People that clean all their loans especially their house montages can go to bed at night knowing even in the event of a catastrophe they will always have a roof overhead.

Automatic saving or Investment Plans. Make sure you are subscribed to an investment or saving plan that deducts straight from your pay check before you even have a chance of spending any money.

Avoid Credit Cards. “Every time you borrow money, you’re robbing your future self.” –Nathan W. Morris. You should only have one credit card, and it should not be in your wallet. Place it somewhere that requires conscious effort to retrieve it. (For example a locked cabinet or in a safe). When you make a purchase using cash the actual counting of the bills will make you spend lesser.

Invest in your experience. Constantly upgrade yourself with new course. This will create more opportunities for you. Take your family on a vacation rather than splurging on gifts.

Have  passive income. Gain some passive income. Read previous blog post: 4 Ways of generating extra income at home. for more details.
