Overcome limiting beliefs
Your outer world is created by your inner world
I’m sure you’ve heard it before; “Just believe in yourself”, “Visualise success”, “You can do anything you put your mind to”….
This approach often fails as we’ve all got a ton of historic beliefs in our subconscious that oppose the “just do it” approach. Because if we did believe we could do it, then we’d already be doing it and not wasting time trying to convince ourselves that we can do it.
Our beliefs limit what we can or can’t do and drive our daily decisions. They become our identity, define our mindset, and determine what we do in virtually every area of our lives.
At a young age, we develop a belief system based on influences and experiences from people and situations that we are exposed to.
Over time, some beliefs will change as we grow up and challenge our worlds through experimentation and new experiences. However, others we subconsciously hang onto and unintentionally allow them to govern our lives.
No matter how much you try to convince yourself that you want to believe something different or act in a different way, you have little control over how your thoughts interact with a lifetime of memories and experiences in your subconscious mind.
5 ways that hypnotherapy and coaching can help:
- Coach your subconscious mind to uncover the unhelpful beliefs that are keeping you stuck and preventing you from achieving your goals.
- Become more open to new possibilities, and see things from a different perspective.
- Re-wire your unhelpful beliefs to become more supportive and empowering.
- Strengthen your self-trust so you can effectively filter the information and influences you absorb from others.
- Uncover your core values and learn to use those to help you respond to situations in a more authentic and healthy way.
