Firstly, thanks for the comment and stepping up and giving me some shit. makes me feel like i'm in the middle of a rap battle and the opposition said something lucid instead of just something bleh about my mom nahmean?! :) To be honest, i completely disagree with myself too. Wrote this won a while back and it was completely shortsighted to have suggested this to be the only way - or indeed a way at all - to kill limiting beliefs. I'm relaunching my site within the next couple of weeks and will talk about it a little and about my overall shift in perspective about things like this. I do think that showing yourself that you can do things by stepping up in the face of yuck limiting feelings does really work. but not only is that advice completely inapplicable and "easy to say", but it's also really insensitive to people's situations. And yip, there are def often better ways to deal with limiting beliefs. Much better ways. But, i guess when i look back at my headspace when i wrote this, that's kinda what i was getting at but never really straight up said. All methods of limiting beliefs are just meant to show you that it's possible to do things. That's the opposite of a limiting belief, it's a belief of possibility. And ideally, not even a belief anymore so much as a knowing - i KNOW i can get this and that done. And things like NLP and binaural beats and meditation and tantric gangbangs and any other wacky method of liberation - they're all there to SHOW you that you can do things. Different paths to the same place. A bunch of my friends are into NLP and i use many NLPesque methods and ideas but the idea of listening to some creepy old man speaking like his voice has been strained through a 90's modem made out of barbed wire instead of plastic kinda creeps me out. And a lot of it is just showmanship and greasy fluff talk. Lotsa more effective and less sleazy ways to employ the same ideas in my opinion. but def has great benefits when used right. anyways, thanks so much for stopping by and adding your thoughts man, really appreciate it. hope you keep well and in touch. drop me a mail whenever. alex Hey Andrew!

Whilst proving to yourself that you can actually go X, there are many methods that allow you to change a limiting belief into an empowering one. Robert Dilts has written extensivley on the subject, and fields of study like Neuro-Linguistic Programming (which is behavioural modification science) describe numerous methods that are useful for chaanging beliefs.

Similar thing applies to doing other things well too." This is an amazing post and what you have said is so true - often we are limited in our ideas that we can't even go about expressing our creativity in our posts. Great job and awesome post! :D wow

I was a shy kid and I focused more on what other people thought of me than anything else. Since I was so awkward, and didn't want to talk to people, nobody wanted to talk to me, and that didn't help my shyness, awkwardness or my social aptitude. So I lived life as an introvert. I spent a lot of lonely nights thinking about my past errors and how they affected me and how I can't get time back. It's irrefutable the fact that dwelling on one's past mistakes just aids depression, it makes our outlook on life a lot darker, and it contributes to these limited beliefs you've described. As an example, to this day I still believe I am a shy person, although I've mostly conquered my fears, sometimes I believe I can't control it, and the worst part is it's really hard to discern the reason why I just can't speak up. Whether the reason is I'm too tired or that I just don't think what I have to say is all that interesting. After all this time in my own body and I've yet to solve the mysteries of the inner-workings of my own mind. What really helped with my skeptical beliefs is sorting out logical fallacies I've always had, like believing I'm limited in what I can think or do because I have ADD. I've disproved this since I've observed the same symptoms of ADD in my father for a long time, and he's very successful and very skilled, and has a very clear outlook on life. He's helped me realize that having a disorder does not absolutely limit your success. He was never diagnosed with ADD so I can't prove he has it but what I do know is that he's unaware of any affliction. The simple fact of knowing creates such a huge boundary in our minds. The human mind is so powerful we can control anything we believe. Simply knowing carries the implication that you should feel afflicted and the course of your actions is changed to suit. What I've learned is success is the result of two things: hard work and determination. Nothing else is involved. I’ve seen the hell of letting yourself believe your own lies.

You're right about those limiting beliefs sneaking up on you. Sometimes we do it without even realizing it. Sometimes you gotta just let loose and grab life in a big way to get rid of big time limiters. First time on the site - really have enjoyed it. Mike Alex – freakin’ awesome post man!
