The consequence is the development of defence dynamics and a limited identity. But eventually, through persistent exploration, I found how to work with beliefs more quickly and more effectively.
It turns out, that in most cases, limiting beliefs can easily be resolved.
When you change a limiting belief, you invariably change yourself and your life.
This is a significant part of what we do in transformational coaching.
How do you know which beliefs are holding you back?
Simple – reverse engineer them – look at what holds you back or what is not working in your life, or what patterns keep emerging, and then ask, what belief must I hold for this to be happening.
Our life experience is largely just a mirror image of the beliefs we hold!
