Throughout this year of miraculous blessings, I\u2019ve learned so much about myself through personal development programs.

As a philosopher in love with consciousness, the idea of holding beliefs that are based on false conclusions is already known to me. The thing that I learned through this session, is how to remove them (ironically I knew it intuitively too). Top 3 Limiting Beliefs A lot of beliefs we hold as adults are formed in childhood. These beliefs are formed as a young child making conclusions based on what they can see happening. When delving into beliefs there are a couple things to know. Beliefs are formed based on what we can see happening An event does not create a belief, your mind does. Beliefs are created through your consciousness.

I am not good enough The first of the top limiting beliefs is I am not good enough. This belief is formed when a parents or caregiver projects criticism.

What the young child doesn\u2019t know is that these statements are not directed at them, but at their actions. In order to heal this belief, you can ask yourself what another valid interpretation of the situation could be. Once your inner child (as an adult observing your child consciousness) becomes aware that their conclusion is not the only conclusion the belief lessens. 2. I am not worthy The second most common limiting belief is I am not worthy. This belief comes from being ignored, or yelled at for things that were not your fault as a child. For me, this belief shows up while trying to understand why my sister got more attention than me. Despite my own limitations and needs as a child, she still got more attention. The child in me gets so angry. She says I even broke my two front teeth at 9 years old and my sister\u2019s depression still mattered more than me?! This makes no sense. And so this example is perfect for showing the belief of I\u2019m not worthy of ______. The process of removing this belief is through changing your perspective on the conclusion this 9 year old drew. Another valid interpretation is; Just because she got more attention does not make me less worthy. You are strong and healthy, you didn\u2019t need as much attention as others. My parents did the best with what they knew. Blaming my sister\u2019s struggles for my issues is not the solution. After reading through these other conclusions, the belief of not being worthy loosens. The strength of that belief is lessened because this child consciousness now knows that there are other perspectives. 3. Life is hard and requires struggle For the last limiting belief, instead of another that shows up in child consciousness, I chose one that we often adopt as adults. Going through life, it\u2019s common to lose the optimism of your child self, and so you begin to adopt pessimism and believe that there is no God, higher power, or anything good in life. That belief becomes a limitation in areas of financial freedom, personal confidence, and romantic relationships. These are also the most common areas of improvement and direction that adults seek help in the spiritual community for. When you think of a coach \u2014 Tony Robbins, Wayne Dyer, or anyone who is inspirational in your mind, Gary Vee or Oprah, all of these people have touched on finance, romance, and confidence. So let\u2019s do the same thing we did with child consciousness beliefs and begin to disentangle this belief. Other possible conclusions include; Sometimes I struggle in life. My life is easy when I focus on the good things It\u2019s easier to focus on what is working that what I am struggling with.

When you begin to change your language, your consciousness also begins to change. Remember\u2026 Beliefs are thoughts that you repeatedly think, that is one reason affirmations work really well.
