This is for you if you want a simple exercise to combat deep-seated self-limiting beliefs. I’ll share the self-limiting belief bumming me out and the technique I used to attack the sticky personal narrative.

I also invite a friend to try out the exercise with me.

You’ll hear about his experience, the self-limiting belief he chose, and if he recommends this tool to others.

This is part 2 of how to find and remove self-limiting beliefs. Listen to part 1 if this doesn’t make sense :)

This episode is for you if you’re chasing a goal but it slips out of your hands at the last minute, or maybe you’ve heard about self-limiting beliefs but it’s never really made sense.

Of course, I’ll provide some examples, such as financial struggles and relationship issues, to show how these beliefs act like malware in our minds. This is a two-part episode, so stay tuned for part 2, where I’ll explain how I use confirmation bias to overcome these limiting stories.
