Limiting Beliefs can Limit Your Personal and Business Success

What are “Limiting Beliefs?” They are beliefs that reside well below your conscious awareness — in your subconscious mind. They have to do with “who” you are… or even more accurately “who you think you are.” These limiting beliefs have  an incredibly strong influence over what you achieve in your life or your business. Here are some examples:

• I don’t deserve to be successful
• I don’t think I can really succeed in business
• No matter what I do, it’s just not enough
• I don’t think I can handle a lot of money

Congruency: When your deep-seated beliefs are different that what you are saying consciously — the deep beliefs will always win. In other words, if you are saying affirmations about prosperity and success and your subconscious beliefs are saying something different you will have trouble reaching your goals. Because there is resistance at the subconscious level.

Some people wonder why the Law of Attraction doesn’t seem to be working in their lives. Law of Attraction states that what you focus on or give attention to will be attracted to you. But, this only works when there is congruency between your deep-seated beliefs and what you are focusing on and trying to attract. Here is a test you can try: Say a positive affirmation and notice how you feel. If you feel really good about it you are probably on target to receive it. however, if  you feel uneasy, or in some way negatively about it, you may have a belief that is opposing it.

Soften the resistance: One way to soften the resistance is instead of saying “I am wealthy.” say “I am in the process of being wealthy.” It’s more believable.

Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT, is a powerful way to overcome emotional blocks and limiting beliefs at a deep level. It involves gently tapping on various acupressure points while stating certain things to your subconscious mind. Gary Craig developed the technique and offers his Basic EFT Manual FREE of charge.

Summary:  If you are wondering why Law of Attraction is not working for you consider that a deep-seated belief may be holding you back. Which ever way you want to use to clear the emotional blocks or limiting beliefs it will be worth your effort. This will pave the way to success in anything you want to accomplish. All the best you you!
