Are Your Limiting Beliefs Holding You Back From Wealth?

Many people have either attempted to give up drinking or did all they could to lose weight, but in the long term were unsuccessful.

Why is that?

It is simply because their unconscious beliefs stopped them.

Let's say you wanted to lose a few pounds, you got excited, probably joined a health club or started going out for long brisk walks or even jogging. Perhaps you even made a decision to eat less fattening foods and more fruits and vegetables. Off you started with the 'new you'.

What happened a couple of weeks later? You went back to your old eating habits and your exercise routine was added to the 'excuse jar'.

Again, we ask why is that?

It's because your limiting beliefs stopped you from doing what you wanted. The limiting beliefs are hugely more powerful than your wants and more potent in most cases, that your willpower.

Limiting, self sabotaging beliefs live in the unconscious mind. This 3 pound unconscious mind controls our lives - from our breathing, to our heart beat, to healing and much, much more.

Nearly 90% to 95% of our lives are under the control of our unconscious ...
... mind.

Given that our beliefs live within the unconscious mind, they, too, run our lives.

The majority of your beliefs were formed when you were younger. You were originally programmed by your parents, teachers, friends, ministers, and more. As you grew older, your beliefs were formed from the media, people at work, your bosses, and so on.

You may be aware of some of your beliefs, but there are some beliefs you have no idea about, and do not even know they exist. They are concealed deep within your unconscious mind.

Back to the example, if you are attempting to lose weight and you have beliefs that skinny people look unattractive, nothing but hideous skin and bones, your unconscious mind will stick to those beliefs and will not allow you to lose weight. It does not want you to look unattractive and be nothing but hideous skin and bones.

So, what do you do?

You will need to work on changing those limiting sabotaging beliefs. You transform them, eliminate them and then embed the beliefs that you do want.

How? Start off with one to three affirmations and say them to yourself as many times as you can all through the day.

Affirmations such as: "I give myself rewards for losing weight" or "I am determined to lose weight" or "I love and improve my body" or "I control my appetite" or "I eat right and exercise smart".

Repeating your chosen statements instils in your unconscious mind your goal and commitment to lose weight. In time, your limiting beliefs will have no power and you will have the new, enhancing beliefs.

It is important that you are committed and be patient.
