What Are Limiting Beliefs and Behaviours?
Definition: Limiting beliefs are deeply ingrained thoughts or convictions that hinder a person’s potential and growth. These beliefs often stem from past experiences, societal norms, or childhood influences. Limiting behaviours are the actions or inactions that result from these beliefs.
Examples: Common examples include thoughts like “I’m not good enough,” “I’ll never be successful,” or “I don’t deserve happiness.” These beliefs often manifest in avoidance, procrastination, or self-sabotage.
Where Do Limiting Beliefs Come From?
Early Childhood Experiences: From a young age, we are often told what we can and can’t do, what’s expected of us, and how we should behave. These teachings can shape beliefs about our capabilities.
Family and Cultural Influence: The values and beliefs handed down by family members, communities, and cultures can reinforce certain worldviews, even if they limit personal growth. For instance, a family may value financial security over personal passion, leading a child to believe they can only find success in traditional roles.
Societal Expectations: Societal norms, such as gender roles or expectations about race and class, can impose limitations on what individuals believe they can achieve.
Past Failures or Criticism: Experiences of failure or criticism, especially in formative years, can lead to the creation of beliefs that we’re not capable or worthy of success.
Media and External Pressures: Media portrayals of success, beauty, and intelligence often set unrealistic standards, leading many to believe they can’t measure up, even if those portrayals are unattainable or superficial.
So what’s going on and why do we get limiting behaviours and beliefs?
The subconscious mind has always been shrouded in mystery and never found to have any tangible physical presence in the brain. However, the latest thinking is that what we have previously been referring to as the subconscious is actually a region in the brain known as the Reptilian Complex, the oldest part of the brain dating back some 650 million years ago to the first sentient creatures on the earth.
The Reptilian Complex (also referred to as the RC or early part of the brain) comprises the Amygdala responsible for fight or flight response, Brain Stem for autonomic function and the Cerebellum where 80% of the total number of neurones in the brain reside and is connected to almost all other parts of the brain.
The Reptilian Complex (RC) is your survival mechanism and it will do anything and everything to keep you and your integrity safe.
How do I know if I have Limiting Beliefs & Behaviours?
Take the limiting belief test:-
1. I’m not good enough.
Believing you’re inherently inadequate or unworthy of success, love, or respect.
2. I don’t deserve success.
Thinking that success is for others, but not for you, often rooted in feelings of guilt or low self-worth.
3. I’m not smart enough.
The belief that intelligence is fixed and that you don’t have the ability to learn or succeed in certain areas.
4. I’m too old/too young to change.
The belief that age limits your potential for growth or success, whether you’re too young to start or too old to change.
5. I’ll never be successful.
A deep conviction that success is unattainable for you, often tied to past failures or societal expectations.
6. I don’t have enough time.
The belief that you’re too busy or that you can’t find the time to pursue your goals or passions.
7. Failure means I’m a failure.
The idea that making mistakes or failing is a reflection of your worth, not just a part of the learning process.
8. I’ll never be good with money.
A belief that you’re inherently bad with managing finances, often stemming from childhood or family experiences.
9. I must be perfect to succeed.
The belief that perfection is required in everything you do, leading to constant self-criticism and fear of making mistakes.

Constantly comparing yourself to others and feeling like you fall short in terms of skills, appearance, or achievements.
11. I don’t have control over my life.
Feeling powerless and believing that external circumstances or others dictate your outcomes.
12. If I succeed, I’ll lose my friends/family.
Fearing that success will alienate you from those close to you or that they will become jealous of your achievements.
13. I’m not deserving of love.
The belief that you’re unworthy of deep, fulfilling relationships and that love is reserved for others, not you.
14. Money is the root of all evil.
A belief that wealth is inherently bad or that pursuing financial success is selfish or immoral.
15. I don’t have the resources I need.
Thinking you lack the money, time, connections, or support to achieve your goals.

Believing that good things happen to others, but you’re just unlucky, which prevents you from seizing opportunities.
17. I’ll never be able to change.
Feeling stuck in your current circumstances, believing that change is impossible or too difficult to achieve.
18. People will judge me if I fail.
The belief that failing will result in negative judgement or rejection from others, leading to fear of taking risks.
19. I must always please others.
Believing that your value comes from making others happy and constantly seeking approval, often at the cost of your own happiness.
20. I’m not capable of handling challenges.
A belief that you lack the skills or strength to face challenges, leading to avoidance or a sense of helplessness.
21. I am not worthy of success or happiness.
The belief that you don’t deserve good things in life, whether it’s success, happiness, or fulfillment.
22. I have to do it all by myself.
Believing that asking for help is a sign of weakness, leading to overwork, stress, and isolation.
23. Life is supposed to be hard.
Believing that struggle is a necessary part of life, which can prevent you from experiencing ease, joy, and fulfillment.
24. I can’t trust anyone.
Believing that others are untrustworthy, often as a result of past betrayals, and limiting your ability to build healthy relationships.
25. I am too different to fit in.
Feeling like an outsider or that your uniqueness makes you unworthy of success, belonging, or love.
