David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System
Each of us has a series of thoughts running through our minds all the time. Your thoughts belong to your conditioned mind and are a product of your past history as well as the collective cultural mind-set you inherited. For most of us, it is not uncommon for our thoughts to be our worst enemy. The good news is we can free ourselves from our minds.
We all have self-limiting beliefs. If you believe you do not, that is a signal that you are not aware of them. When you are not aware of them they are actually more powerful than when you are aware of them.
Create a list of the self-limiting beliefs that are often present in your mind. Need help? Examples might be
| I AM NOT ……. | I AM …….. |
| Smart | Ugly |
| Organized | Dumb |
| As good as…… | Messy |
| Good Looking | Loud |
| Important | Disorganized |
| Thin enough | Clumsy |
| Strong | Too big |
| Good Enough | Bad |
| Loveable | At fault |
Now, REPLACE each of your SELF LIMITING BELIEFS with a SELF ENHANCING BELIEF and say it over and over. It will feel strange at first because it is so contrary to your “usual” thinking, but soon it will become your new way of thinking!
Remember this is not about right or wrong, or good and bad, it is simply about being aware of the thoughts that are creating the results in your life.
