Powerful And Proven Steps to Smashing Self-Limiting Beliefs, And Setting Your Business and Career Free – Self Love.
Breaking that Cycle of Self Limiting Beliefs – Here is how
Recently a friend of ours from Kenya just turned 40.
When she called me, I was pretty excited, singing happy birthday off tune, as you do…But she wasn’t having any of that. She was quite upset, speaking at 100miles a second.
This is how the conversation, went down…Minus the gory details
“Hey Syl, (…sniff sniff,) did you notice once you hit 40, that you lose that oomph, the mojo to keep going? Your sight goes blurry, your prize chest hits the slopes, well your brain is a sieve…?” (I was like: Nope sister, I don’t think so Naija style…) I thought she was pranking me…she has been known to do one! But…
“Well I tell you what Jules, I have steadily gained a kilo the last 5 years. Losing weight became harder…How will I find that dream dude looking like a rhino! (I kinda could relate to this one-ish!) I also can’t seem to find the time to hit the gym or have a Spa day. Commitments, responsibilities they’ve taken over the time I used to devote to the relationships in my life. (I said Enough to this one 4 years ago.)
“Here is the Sucker punch: that income, which I took for granted! It used to rise steadily through my 20’s & 30’s! Well, that stopped increasing 3 years ago. Maybe they knew I was hitting the big 40…No pay raises!
The bills keep piling up though! (Ouch, I deffo had faced this gremlin, for 2 years it had the driving seat…I knew her pain.) By now I too was sniffing along with my friend, let’s call her Vee!
“Syl, I just don’t know what to do, I don’t feel old, but I just see myself getting old, and society seems to agree.”

Back to Vee…
All the while she served her pity party, I was thinking: These are some of her Self-Limiting beliefs! She can’t see how successful and amazing she is…We gotta put a kibosh on this! Dig deeper, talk about this NOW. And break this before it grows horns.
The thing is…
Vee is not alone! There are so many people doing the same to themselves, what she was doing. Often times succeeding… At undermining our success and life purpose. Unconsciously, convicting ourselves to mediocrity…
But what are Self-limiting beliefs?
Limiting beliefs are excuses or thoughts we use to keep us from growing, or taking chances. The reasons why we fail or refuse to even try. They are usually emotional and irrational, and never serve us. Hold a belief long enough in your mind, even if it is false, with time it becomes YOUR TRUTH! Believe it or not, you do become and are what you think.
[bctt tweet=”YOUR TRUTH! Believe it or not, you do become and are what you think! #selfbelief #successtips #lawoflife” username=”Juleskalpauli”]
Surround yourself with enough information to confirm your biases or positive thoughts and attitude, and soon you will be right.
I want to tell you, like I told Vee. You never have to feel like life, opportunities, the good stuff is closing up for you…And everything you just said, has an origin in your mind way before you hit 40. It’s what we call Self-Limiting Beliefs. Some Social, some Hard Core and some picked up due to circumstances.
You do know, you have total control over your life…Right?
Then let’s break these gremlins:
7 Steps to Changing your life – Bannish the Self-Limiting Beliefs!
- FACE THAT GREMLIN, WRITE IT ALL DOWN. Write down every single negative belief, thought, feeling. Think about when you first started thinking, believing it. Think about what is the worst that could happen with that scenario? Is it what I want?
Then write down the Opposite of this Negative belief, its positive sister! How does that make you feel?
Great, right? You better believe it…For the next 7 days speak the Opposite of that negative belief. The Positive. Speak it until it feels natural, speak it until its part of your essence. 7 days may be too few keep going, try 21 even 30! Boom, your brain should be rewired…and you will start to notice some small, or even big changes in yor life,career, enterprise.
- WHY NOT FIND A MODEL/MENTOR? Someone living the lifestyle you want to achieve, in your niche? Are they open to talking, sharing, even holding you accountable? Do it, connect with them and get learning, applying and tracking your actions. Soon you too can share with others. Because believe you me, you will start to inspire others without even knowing or trying! In fact, you already do, you just dont know it!
- BELIEVE THAT ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. Often times we dismiss things as beyond our abilities, before we even begin! Is this you? It’s time to stop that!
Ever seen an athlete think they can’t? Every single one at the start line believes: TODAY IS MY DAY. They have planned, prepared, done the backend thankless work, The blood and sweat, the pain and tears, the mind work, so it’s their time to shine…YET Only those who have conquered their Monkey mind and the limiting beliefs Win! Period!
[bctt tweet=”Only those who have conquered their Monkey mind and the limiting beliefs Win! Period! #mindsettips #lawofattraction” username=”Juleskalpauli”]
It is your time to shine too. Are you ready to rise to your greatness, whatever that may be?
Remember, any negative, non-serving thoughts are imaginary boundaries created in your mind.
Step #1; is to Believe that anything is possible even if you have to say it to yourself numerous times a day as a mantra. Your inner mind will pick it up and start to create pathways, by presenting opportunities to you in the physical.
- START TO BELIEVE IN YOU 100%; that you can overcome any obstacle. Imagine you wake up and get out of bed, you don’t think the bathroom will be flooded and the bog blocked! You get ready have breakie and get to work. As you go you don’t think the train will be cancelled or traffic will be chocker. You don’t expect your client to cancel…do you? If you do you need some serious help. :/
You are supposed to expect certain things as givens. SO WHY NOT EXPECT EVERTHING GOOD as a given? Expect everything will be alright. A baby does so, when did you start thinking there are obstacles? Let’s reprogram that! Go after your goals, dealing with the negatives and challenges one by one with joy so they have no effect on your life other than celebrating the wins. Sometimes you need to take a new approach, yet achieving your goals should be a given.
- TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION: When you discover a new opportunity or idea, take ACTION NOW. Not tomorrow, or next week. The average person wants to ruminate over things and have every stick in a row. Successful people don’t do that. They jump in and learn on the job.
That is exactly what Sir Richard Branson CEO of Virgin Airlines says!
If you don’t take action on any ideas or opportunities, someone will pay you to build their dream always. So, take action on your dreams…
Action and achievement are so linked you can’t separate them.
Each step gets easier and creates momentum as you take Consistent, Focused action. I have come to learn that; the world rewards people who take action. Even if you take the wrong action, sometimes that opens to you new opportunities/doors, you never would have had if you didn’t take action. Or you learn a lesson and grow stronger from it.
Today, right now, stop talking yourself out of doing amazing stuff…The universe will applaud you if you take focused 100% all in action. The longer it takes you to take action, the more your brain talks you out from taking that action. So much so, you can’t even connect to the initial inspiration or why you got excited about it in the first place!
By the way did you know your brain is NOT your mind…? Seriously lots of people confuse the two! (I was guilty as charged…). Your mind is YOUR SPIRIT. Your inner man so to speak. Your Brain is well that physical portal for you to think, plan, take action…It gives instruction to your physical body! Use it wisely!
- STOP PROCRASTINATION NOW. Procrastination stems from the SELF-LIMITING Belief that taking action NOW will be more painful than doing nothing!
That lil voice that tells you: “Stay safe” don’t jump, it will hurt.” That “Monkey voice.” It means no harm it’s just conditioned, hard wired to STOP you from taking any “risk”, good or not so much!
So, every time you wait till the last minute to do something; it’s because of a self limiting belief. It becomes so real you believe it. You believe it will take too long, you will lose your chance at that window of opportunity. You may be late with a project submission and miss the contract… So, whenever you consider putting off something, think of the pain of NOT taking action as a Whole Dream Loss.
- GET CLEAR ON WHAT YOU REALLY WANT IN LIFE: You need to do this right now if you want to create amazing success. Most people focus on what they don’t want, and speak that into existence. Yes, your thoughts, feelings and words are your genie in a bottle!
You have to be crystal clear on what you want, to even get half way to achieving it. Take every effort to achieve the ONE Goal with laser sharp focus.
Zoom in on that one goal, plan, connect, communicate, collaborate, make it happen. (The 4 cs)
So, what exactly do you wish to achieve; in dollars, lifestyle, travel, dream home, career, etc.?
- Make it clear, write it down,
- get a visual representation of it.
- Place it in place of direct view, so you see it daily.
- Work your plan and you will start seeing these goals speed towards you. In various physical connections, opportunities, offers, collaborations, manifestations, even seemingly miraculous occurrences.
THE KEY TO ALL THIS IS ACTION, never forget this…So, for the action taker, hungry to Create a Lifestyle others dream about, now is your chance, take a look at one of the resources I have access to and let me help you soar towards your dream. This is what Vee needed and You too may need!

We hinder ourselves more than others and obstacles do. One of my biggies was procrastination. I’ve made it a MUST to sit at my desk each day by a certain time and get to it. Let go of fear and do your thing! Someone needs to hear or needs what you have to offer.
Precisely MomJonz 🙂
So get to it already and build the lifestyle of YOUR dreams! 🙂
Faith is the ability to see the invisible. I love your post! very inspirational!!! thanks for keeping us updated!!
Indeed we borrowed from the Book of life Dreamemerin, and it says:
“Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 🙂
I loved how motivating this post was and how it’s enabled me to think harder about my own aspirations!
Hello Emma,
We are glad to have helped motivate you and think about your own aspirations 🙂 Thnaks for stopping by!
Great post on empowering your live through the power of positivity. The mind is a curious thing and can be conned into thinking that there is no hope through negative thinking. Of course through positive thinking we can change our lives and all for the better.
Hey Kathryn,
We are so glad you are of the same school of thought and Yes the mind is a marvel. So it can be rebooted and changed whichever way we want. As long as we have faith!
I’m terrible at letting self-limiting thoughts hold me back and procrastinating too. I agree milestone ages really do seem to hit some people hard.
Self limiting beliefs can be subtle. We need to identify our own limiting beliefs and work on them.
I like your take on taking action. Execution is the vehicle in achieving any dream or goal.
Your association also help in smashing your limiting beliefs. Consider association from today. Are you associating with negative people?
It is time to break those self limiting beliefs and live life to the full.
Life is not meant to be drudgery. Go on, enjoy the journey.
Kapow,
We love your take and that you agree Emmanuel. Who we hang out with in life or on the www and ehat we focus our thought on have agreat impact on our life achievements.
Its time to break those gremlins indeed.
Glad you found us and thanks for sharing! 🙂
In order to thrive in business you must believe in yourself and your product and be fully comiited to chasing your dreams.
Exactly Lindsey,
We like to call it aligning with one’s dreams …Chasing something is the surest way to not catch it…It runs away from you 🙂
Julie,
This is a great article that was great believing in ourselves and taking action on what is passionate in our lives can really make the difference . Great article.
Lori English
Glad you agree Lori,
How have you been hun and thaks for stopping by 🙂
Ah..age is relative. I am turning 46 this year and I though those who are turning 40 is still so young..haha
Anyway..joke aside, we all have our all limiting belief. Its whether we are aware of it or we are eaten into it.
Great post..I better take some action on those ideas I have now.
Hey Anmaria, Age is just a number relating to our physical form, our spirit is timeless and thats what I tune into. That I am infinitely alive and limitless 🙂 SO I can do all things if I put my mind to it. Glad you will be getting ome ideas into gear 🙂
I LOVE this-“you do become and are what you think!” SO true. I wish people understood that they are what they think. If they are always thinking, “Gosh..I always have bad luck”..the Universe will comply and that is exactly what they will get! Stopping by from the Blogger Pit Stop 🙂
Hey Rebecca,
Glad you agree and hanks for your insights 🙂 We atre what we think and focus on the most!
My intention for this year has been to treat myself like I would a good friend. That’s not only being kind to myself .. but also encouraging myself like I would my best friend. It’s made such a big difference!
A powerful way of putting it that we dont mind borrowing 🙂 Thanks Ali
I definitely think writing down my goals helps to achieve them. It is always good to look back and see how far you have came!
We dont always chesk in with ourselves, and thats a big mistake, You are definitely doing the right thing Clair 🙂
These self limiting beliefs tend to hit at any age, but there’s something about hitting a milestone age that makes this self doubt even stronger. It’s so good to be able to have a plan of action of how to work through this negative mindset.
Exactly Yaya, Milestones can hit us hard positively or not so much. And w eare happy to pull out the red carpet with the Roadmap! 🙂
What a lovely post. Nailing right to the ground.
Awesome Jaideep glad you got value!
[ Smiles ] The sooner we rid ourselves of self-limiting beliefs, the better!
Amen Renard Amen 🙂
There are such helpful tips. I’m a procrastinator and lack some motivation a lot of the time.
Hey Crystal,
Procrastination is a real pain and a killer. Please do your best to change that situation. 🙂
Fantastic advice! I feel very motivated from a lot of other parenting bloggers! Thank you for the tips!
Glad you are motivated and you are most welcome Sarah! 🙂
This really resonated with me because I often limit myself because of doubts I have about my abilities. Sometimes this can stop me from trying new things and taking risks x
There are no limits other than those we place in our minds Ana.Change and newness is part of life 🙂 Glad you resonate!
I’m a terrible procrastinator, these are great tips as always.
Kick procrastination to the kerb Jenny, its yur time! 🙂
BOOM, that’s a Powerful post. I think you can go two ways when you hit 40,50,60, or whatever. You can either bemoan all the things NOT happening or you can celebrate reaching the milestone… if you get up everyday, you’re still breathing, which is a celebration in itself… Thanks for sharing..
Talk about it Keith,
To me its indeed a celebration to be alive every day I wake up. The passing of time coz we all have Love, Time and Death to look to in the journey of life.
Very inspirational post. We need to believe in ourselves if we want to achieve anything. That is our first obligation towards our self and we need to get clear on what we really want in life. I will go through your course for sure. It looks very motivating.
Self Belief is the opposite of Self-Limiting beliefs and we gotta make sure we focus on the former. Glad you made the choice Andy 🙂
Looks interesting! I’ve been motivated lots from a travel bloggers conference I recently attended and should follow up with your course 🙂
Hey Mellissa,
Glad you got value, do feel free to holler is there is any way we can help. Keep motivated.
