A lot of times our growth is haltered by the limiting thoughts and beliefs systems programmed in our subconscious mind. These are our own absolute truths, convictions, and opinions – that we hold on to. These truths then start limiting us and prevent us from achieving our personal goals, from pursuing new opportunities or taking risks and even prevent us from becoming who we want to become. These are our views about ourselves, the world, life, people, how things work etc.

Limiting beliefs and thoughts stem from our own life experiences, are passed on within the family or via education, come from our heritage (country or land of origin), and many times are the soul level truth imbibed over lifetimes of experience.

We prefer to hide behind these convictions because that’s our comfort zone. We feel safe here. It does not require us to try anything new or extend boundaries. And the cycle continues.

Some common limiting beliefs are:

1. I don’t have time

2. I don’t deserve this

3. I don’t have it in me

4. It’s not possible

These are just a few of the beliefs that we carry in our energy systems. Hence to move forward and to achieve our goals, requires us to remove these negative programs and replace with positive ones.

There are many psychotherapy-based programs that can help you overcome these. You could also do this via energy work – like Theta Healing. In the theta state, it’s easier to let go of limiting beliefs, reprogram yourself and expand your well-being. Most times physical ailments surface due to a deep-seated limiting belief or thought at work in the background.

This same pattern of limiting beliefs and thoughts can also impact organizations and companies, societies, and families. Limiting beliefs that run in the culture at work, ethos of the organization and the psyche of the management impact its growth and could lead to stagnation. Similarly, families find themselves in cycles of poverty, trauma, bad luck and diseases – again powered by limiting thoughts and beliefs.

The scope of this discussion is immense and has wide applications at personal, family and organization levels. But the foremost thing is to recognize these limitations and then move onwards to resolution.
