How limiting beliefs impact and interfere with success
Limiting beliefs are thoughts or attitudes that we may consciously or unconsciously hold onto that limit our partnership, our business and us. These beliefs often prevent our natural growth from moving more smoothly and progressively. We may not even be aware that such an idea is a belief, let alone a limiting belief. We just assimilate these ideas into our existence and it simply becomes the way we see the world and ourselves. These beliefs are usually intact by the time we are seven years old.
In order to be more aware of our subconscious thinking we have to know which beliefs are limiting our lives. Even if your life is good right now and your business is doing well, there is so much more that awaits you as you become more aware of your thinking.
This process can take hours or even weeks of reflection. Take your time and be curious to investigate your past. It provides information about attitudes and beliefs that you may or may not continue to hold today. Positive, as well as negative memories are equally as significant.
Here are some examples of limiting beliefs. Check the ones that resonate with you.

This is where the meaning of the relationship will take on more importance from the early “honeymoon” period where we were just getting to know our partner. It is often easier to walk away in the beginning when we have less “skin in the game” because of the time factor and importance of the other (time invested in getting to know the other is less significant). In long-term commitments this generally means there is more to lose when things do not seem to be working or when there is tension and unresolved issues. That is why so many couples have communication and intimacy issues as the years roll by that did not occur in the beginning.
