How To Unlock Your Full Potential
By Jessy Nolan and ChatGPT - 2 August 2023
Imagine that inside your mind there is a sphere. This sphere is your world. In your world you have different beliefs. These beliefs are built like those house of card structures. For some reason you feel like you’ve hit the ceiling and can’t build your structures any higher. Now imagine a spherical glass dome like a snow globe around your world. That’s the ceiling, it’s called a self limiting belief. Most people are trapped in several snow globes, imprisoning them in their own mind instead of allowing their world to leak out into reality. You have to have a breakthrough and smash the snow globes from the inside.
Most of your self limiting beliefs are caused by not believing in yourself. Most were put there by others when you were very young and impressionable, completely changing the course of your life.

Overcoming self-limiting beliefs is essential for personal growth and success. Here are several ways to help destroy self-limiting beliefs:
Remember that overcoming self-limiting beliefs is a process that takes time and persistence. Be patient with yourself and celebrate your progress along the way.
- Identify the belief: Begin by recognizing and acknowledging your self-limiting belief. Often, these beliefs are deeply ingrained, so it's important to identify and understand them before addressing them.
- Question the belief's validity: Challenge the belief by asking yourself why you hold it and whether there is concrete evidence to support it. Often, self-limiting beliefs are based on assumptions or past experiences that may no longer be relevant.
- Reframe the belief: Replace the self-limiting belief with a more empowering and positive alternative. For example, if you believe you're not good enough, reframe it to "I am capable of learning and improving."
- Set realistic goals: Start with small, achievable goals that challenge your self-limiting beliefs. As you achieve them, you'll gain confidence and see that your beliefs were holding you back.
- Visualize success: Imagine yourself succeeding and breaking free from your self-limiting beliefs. Visualization can help rewire your subconscious mind and build a positive mindset.
- Seek support: Talk to friends, family, or a professional counselor about your self-limiting beliefs. Having a support system can provide encouragement and guidance as you work through them.
- Focus on strengths and accomplishments: Concentrate on your past achievements and strengths rather than dwelling on perceived weaknesses or failures.
- Face your fears: Confront situations that trigger your self-limiting beliefs. Gradually exposing yourself to these fears will diminish their hold on you.
- Practice self-compassion: Be kind to yourself and recognize that everyone has flaws and makes mistakes. Treat yourself with the same empathy you would offer a friend.
- Surround yourself with positive influences: Spend time with people who uplift and encourage you. Positive environments can help reinforce your efforts to break free from self-limiting beliefs.
- Challenge negative thoughts: Whenever you catch yourself thinking negatively about your abilities, challenge those thoughts with evidence of your past achievements and capabilities.
- Embrace failure as a learning opportunity: Instead of viewing failure as confirmation of your self-limiting beliefs, see it as an opportunity for growth and learning.
- Take risks: Stepping outside your comfort zone can be uncomfortable but is essential for overcoming self-limiting beliefs. Embrace new challenges and experiences to build resilience and confidence.
- Practice affirmations: Repeatedly affirm positive statements about yourself to reinforce a positive self-image and counteract self-limiting beliefs.
Remember that overcoming self-limiting beliefs is a process that takes time and persistence. Be patient with yourself and celebrate your progress along the way.
