F*&K Limiting Beliefs

Every single one of us deals with this, so don’t skip this because you think, “I’m good - I don’t have any limiting beliefs.” Midlife (which kicks in around our mid-30s) can kick our butts! We all face financial challenges, relationship changes, career updates, empty nesting, menopause, caring for our parents and so much more. You name it - we deal with it. The overwhelm is real. At the same time, this part of our lives can be incredible. We are often more “ourselves” than ever before. The older we get we less interested we are in nonsense or drama. We have more clarity and we've learned from our experiences. So why do we let limiting beliefs hold us back? 

Limiting beliefs are the negative thoughts and assumptions we hold about ourselves and our capabilities. They are often rooted in past experiences, societal expectations, and internalized messages from others. What does a limiting belief sound like? 

"I'm too old to start something new."

"I’ve missed my chance to pursue my dreams."

"I’m not skilled or knowledgeable enough."

"It’s too late for me to make a significant change."

Honestly, I think we all feel this way sometimes. That's normal. It's NOT ok to let that temporary thought keep you from pursuing your goals and living your life to the fullest. 

Limiting beliefs can truly mess your life up! 

Career and Professional Growth: You might hesitate to seek promotions, switch careers, or start your own business.  

Personal Development: We've all thought about hobbies, further education, or new skills that we'd like to pursue but don't because we are held back by self-doubt. 

Relationships: Limiting beliefs can affect how you feel about yourself in relationship. If you feel inadequate or fear vulnerability it's holding you back.

Health and Well-being: Negative self-perception can contribute to stress, anxiety, and other health issues, impacting everything from well-being and quality of life.

It’s no good, ladies - we’ve got to kick these limiting beliefs to the curb!

 Have you ever caught yourself saying things like “Oh, I could never do that” or “We could never afford that”? Those are limiting beliefs, my friend—kick them to the curb. It's important to take time to identify and acknowledge your limiting beliefs. I won't lie - it's hard. Journaling can really help you explore these thoughts and understand their origins.

When a limiting belief rears it's ugly head, question its validity. Ask yourself, "Is this belief based on facts or feelings?" Replace negative thoughts with positive affirmations.

For example, you might have a limiting belief like, "I’m not smart to do this" First, question whether that's true: "Is this belief based on facts or feelings?" Reflect on your past accomplishments, skills, and experiences. I bet that you'll find that the belief is based more on fear or self-doubt than on actual evidence.

Next, replace this negative thought with a positive affirmation. Tell yourself, "I have the skills and determination to do this!" Repeat this affirmation regularly, especially when you start to feel self-doubt creeping in. Over time, this positive reinforcement can help shift your mindset from limiting beliefs to empowering ones, enabling you to move forward with confidence. I see you rolling your eyes! Don't dismiss this idea - it actually helps. 

If you are a dreamer - I see you! I LOVE YOU! Here's a tip that can really help you take your goal getting abilities to the next level. Break down your goals into manageable tasks. Is it your dream to start your own business from home so you can pay off that debt? Awesome! Start by setting a goal of earning $500/month. Celebrate small victories along the way to build confidence and momentum. Don't wait until you've earned a million dollars to do that happy dance. Achieving your goals through small steps consistently will reinforce your belief in your ability to reach larger goals. 

It's SO HARD to do this alone. Surround yourself with a supportive community of like-minded individuals. Mentorship programs, such as the Midlife Mentorship, can provide guidance, encouragement, and a sense of belonging. Sharing your journey with others who understand your struggles and aspirations can be incredibly empowering.

The more you know the more you can accomplish. It's not just about what you learn, it's about how you feel when you're learning. It's the momentum and energy learning creates that can truly transform your life. Enroll in courses, attend workshops, and stay curious about new opportunities. Knowledge is power, and the more you learn, the more confident and capable you become.

Be kind to yourself and recognize that growth is a process. You aren't just going to decide one day to change how you think and voila - check it off your list. Allow yourself to make mistakes and learn from them without harsh self-judgment. Treat yourself with the same compassion and understanding that you would offer to a dear friend.
