Did you know that 98% of your daily decisions are driven by unconscious beliefs? 

Yep, 98%! That means most of the time, you're operating on autopilot, following patterns you picked up before you even hit your teen-dom. Wild, right?

But here's the thing: some of those beliefs are holding you back from the money, success, and self-worth you truly deserve. And even crazier? You probably don't know they're there. 

That's why today, I want to help you get crystal clear on those sneaky limiting beliefs that are stopping you from leveling up—by asking just 3 simple questions.

If you’re ready to break through the noise in your head and make real progress toward the life you’ve been dreaming of, keep reading. Because it’s time to find out what’s really holding you back.

Let’s get into it! 

1. Your Brain: The Gatekeeper of Your Beliefs

Your unconscious mind controls roughly 98% of your daily thoughts, actions, and feelings. 

That means most of what you do is on autopilot, and the programming behind it is likely outdated. These unconscious beliefs were formed before the age of 12, influenced by the adults and authority figures around you—whether those beliefs were accurate or not.

For example, if you heard things like “money is the root of all evil” or “you have to work hard for every penny” from a parent or teacher, those ideas likely stuck. 

Your brain took these statements as solid truths and embedded them into your unconscious, treating them as gold. The problem? When these beliefs conflict with what you want to achieve, your brain kicks into overdrive to keep you safe—by keeping you the same.This is why you feel stuck or engage in self-sabotage. 

Your brain’s number one job is to keep everything familiar and comfortable, even if it means stopping you from reaching your next level of success.

2. Common Limiting Beliefs About Money and Success

Let’s take a quick look at some typical limiting beliefs that could be holding you back from the success you’re striving for:

• There’s never enough money.
• Money turns good people bad.
• You have to work really hard to make any money.
• Success will cost you your happiness.

Any of these resonate? These are common, but deeply harmful, beliefs that sabotage your ability to manifest abundance and success. Your brain holds onto them, making sure that no matter what actions you take, you won’t step outside your “comfort zone” of financial struggle or middle-of-the-road. 

AND here’s the thing—those beliefs are not true.

3. How to Identify Your Own Limiting Beliefs

If you want to figure out the limiting beliefs that are uniquely holding you back, here’s a quick exercise that can shed light on those hidden blocks.

Finish these sentences with the very first thoughts that come to your mind (without censoring yourself):

• I would be more successful, but…
• I would have more money, but…
• I would have more freedom, but…

The answers that reveal themselves might surprise you. 

They’ll probably feel uncomfortable, and that’s okay—that discomfort means you’re unearthing the core beliefs your brain has been protecting for years. These are the exact limiting beliefs that have been quietly shaping your decisions and behaviors.

For instance, maybe you find yourself completing the sentence with: “I would be more successful, but I’m not smart enough.” Or “I would have more money, but I’m not good at managing it.” 

These are real, personal beliefs you’ve been carrying. And they are also the key to your breakthrough. Hoorah! 

4. How These Beliefs Show Up in Your Daily Life

Once you recognize the limiting beliefs, you might start seeing how they show up in your everyday life. 

They manifest as procrastination, overwhelm, confusion, or even exhaustion. Maybe you find yourself hesitating to take big steps, avoiding important decisions, or constantly feeling stuck in indecision.

Your brain is sneaky—its goal is to keep you safe in familiar territory, so it uses tactics like:

• Procrastination or “forgetting” crucial tasks.
• Feelings of overwhelm or anxiety.
• Looping thoughts reminding you of past mistakes or failures.
• Unexplained fears or avoidance when it comes to financial decisions.

Recognize any of these? 

They’re the brain’s way of keeping you in line with the beliefs it considers “true,” even though those beliefs are actually holding you back.

5. What to Do About Your Limiting Beliefs

Awareness is the first step. Now that you’ve identified some of your limiting beliefs, you can begin to challenge and reprogram them. One way to challenge them is by using journaling prompts like:

• What would my life look like if I didn’t believe this?
• Who told me this belief, and is it really true?
• What’s the evidence against this belief?

Each time you uncover a limiting belief, you’ll want to rewrite it into something empowering. For example, if you find yourself believing “There’s never enough money,” you can shift that to “There’s more than enough money for everyone, including me.” Every time you think “there’s never enough money”, confront it with your new, empowered statement. 

This will rattle your brain’s hold on the original belief, so that when you are ready to clear it with hypnosis or NLP, it will release easily. 

6. Keep Moving Forward

Remember: limiting beliefs aren’t set in stone. They’re just stories your brain has latched onto, and you have the power to change them. Whether you’re using the Become a Money Magnet Journal or simply noticing when they pop up in your day, every small step helps you rewrite the narrative.

Alright, my love, that’s a wrap!

The journey to uncovering and tackling your limiting beliefs isn’t always easy—but you’re already ahead of the game by just being here and diving in. Remember, these blocks don’t define you, they’re just old stories you’ve picked up along the way. And the best part? You get to rewrite them!

You’ve got the power to call in more abundance, success, and self-worth than you ever thought possible. So, let’s go knock down those barriers and make space for everything that’s waiting for you on the other side. You’re unstoppable!

Keep shining bright—you’ve got this! 

Until next time!
