A belief is something that we assume to be true, and because we all have beliefs, it means we all have ‘limiting’ beliefs. However, some types are more harmful than others. The least damaging – held by everyone on planet earth! – are limiting beliefs based on an incomplete understanding and knowledge of the world. The most detrimental type, which professionals like myself help people, is when someone believes themselves to be ‘less’ than they are – less of a person, less capable. The fact that a person believes them to be true makes limiting beliefs hard to spot for the holder and difficult for others to discuss. However, the good news is that we can become aware of limiting beliefs and replace them with what are called ‘supportive’ beliefs, or those that help, motivate and encourage.
