Have you ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or held back by an invisible force? That “force” might be a set of limiting beliefs—unconscious thoughts that shape your decisions and keep you from reaching your full potential.
Limiting beliefs often sound like truths, but they’re really just stories we tell ourselves. The good news? You have the power to rewrite those stories.
In this blog, we’ll explore common limiting beliefs, examples of how they show up, and reframes to help you break free. Plus, we’ll introduce a practical tool—the Align, Clear, Traverse workbook series—to guide you through transforming these beliefs into empowering truths.
What Are Limiting Beliefs?
Limiting beliefs are assumptions or perceptions about yourself, others, or the world that restrict your growth. They often originate from past experiences, societal expectations, or fear of failure. Common limiting beliefs include:
“I don’t have the time or resources.”
"I’m only valuable when I’m helping others."
"If I slow down, I’ll lose my momentum."
“I can’t start until I’m fully prepared.”
“I have to be perfect or I shouldn’t try.”
“If it hasn’t happened by now, it never will.”
“I have to please others to be accepted.”
“People will reject me if I show my true self.”
“If I’m not in control, everything will fall apart.”
“Bad things always happen to me.”
“I’m just not meant to be happy.”
While these thoughts may feel real, they’re rarely based on fact. And the longer they go unchallenged, the more they hold you back.
Examples of Limiting Beliefs and Reframes
“I’m not qualified to pursue my dream career.”
How It Shows Up: You avoid applying for jobs or pursuing opportunities because you feel underqualified.
Reframe: “I may not know everything, but I’m capable of learning and growing into this role.”
“I always fail, so there’s no point in trying.”
How It Shows Up: You resist taking on challenges, fearing another disappointment.
Reframe: “Failure is a stepping stone to success. Every attempt brings me closer to achieving my goal.”
“I don’t have time to focus on myself.”
How It Shows Up: You prioritize others’ needs over your own, leaving your goals on the back burner.
Reframe: “Prioritizing myself helps me show up stronger for others. I deserve time to grow.”
