6 most common limiting beliefs according to ChatGPT.  I asked AI what the most common limiting beliefs are and this is what came back!

Self-limiting beliefs are thoughts or attitudes that hold individuals back and prevent them from reaching their full potential. Here are six common self-limiting beliefs:

1. I'm not good enough: Many people struggle with feelings of inadequacy and believe they are not capable or worthy of success. This belief can hinder personal and professional growth.

2. I'm afraid of failure: Fear of failure can paralyse individuals, preventing them from taking risks or pursuing their goals. This mindset often leads to missed opportunities and a lack of personal development.

3. I don't deserve success: Some individuals harbor the belief that they don't deserve success or happiness. This self-limiting belief can sabotage efforts to achieve goals and lead to self-sabotaging behaviors.

4. I'm too old (or too young): Age-related beliefs can limit opportunities. Feeling too old can lead to a sense of missed chances, while feeling too young can undermine confidence and discourage taking on responsibilities.

5. I can't change: The belief that personal traits or behaviors are fixed and unchangeable can hinder personal development. Embracing a growth mindset is essential for overcoming challenges and evolving as an individual.

6. Others' opinions define me: Relying too much on external validation and letting others' opinions dictate one's self-worth can be a major self-limiting belief. It's important to cultivate self-awareness and confidence independent of external judgments.

Overcoming these self-limiting beliefs often involves self-reflection, challenging negative thoughts, and cultivating a positive mindset. Seeking support from friends, mentors, or professionals can also be beneficial in breaking free from these limiting beliefs.

In this episode, I explore these 6 key areas, to see how they or other beliefs maybe impacting you.

Focus on intrinsic NOT the extrinsic motivations! Intrinsic goals are better because they are internal to YOU. You can control them, things like autonomy, mastery and purpose. Extrinsic goals are external to you and often you can chase something you have no control over achieving. Examples are meeting an external goal, garnering praise or approval, winning a competition or award.

Join Pete on this RUSHcast as he explores these motivations, how they are grounded in NLP and Stoic Philosophy and the impact and benefits they have with clients he has worked with.

Awareness, Technology and Happiness with Bevis Moynan.  Bevis is an NLP Trainer & Master Practitioner (in fact he actually trained me!) as well as completed 121 coaching with him.

Bevis and I discuss the journey to Awareness.  The part that Technology can play both positively and negatively with Awareness and the overall impact on Happiness.

Key takeaways from this session is to know when your beliefs serve you and when they don't.  Having the awareness that beliefs and thoughts serve you at times in your life but later they may hinder your growth so there can be a time when letting them go is needed.

A powerful podcast from Bevis, so we hope you enjoy it.
