Pitfalls Of A Limited Mindset

Limiting beliefs are thoughts that limit your belief in what is possible. Their main purpose is to prevent you from reaching your greatest potential.

These beliefs tend to be deeply rooted in your subconscious. They operate as a filter.

Your beliefs hold the weight of your entire existence. This is true because your perception of life is based on your mindset.

If something is of value to you, you will put forth the effort that it requires.

We use our beliefs to define ourselves. You will choose to challenge yourself when you believe that you have substantial character.

Believing that you can sing well will encourage you to proudly join a choir. The choices that you make and the projects you pursue will be directly correlated with the talents that you believe you possess.

The same is true in reverse. If you believe that you are terrible at math, you are not likely to pursue a career as a financial analyst.

If you have the belief that you are not artistic, you will not sign up for the painting class.

YOUR LIMITING BELIEFS WILL HOLD YOU BACK IN LIFE.

Limiting Beliefs Can Be…

Those we have about ourselves

Those involving others

Limiting beliefs can also manifest in a way that makes you feel as if the world owes you something, known as entitlement beliefs

Limiting beliefs about the world

Limiting Beliefs Can Really Impact Your Life…

False Evidence Appearing Real

As you embrace those limiting beliefs, you collect false evidence that will prop your beliefs wrong.

You Become Trapped In Fear

You’re frozen in a cycle of fear and going nowhere. That’s not going to get you anywhere in life.

You Miss Out

Limiting beliefs attract the wrong things. And the deeper you fall into unhealthy patterns, the harder it is to get out, and the more you prove those limiting beliefs to be true. You’re missing out on love connections, career opportunities, and social ties, and it’s hard to escape it.

Dysfunctional Relationships

What starts as a fear of rejection has evolved into you believing nobody could possibly be interested in your friendship or romantic affections. And if you do manage to forge relationships, you may notice they’re dysfunctional as compared to others.

Fueling The Fire

The human brain is wired for negativity – negative thoughts have deep roots and when negative things happen, we seize on them over positive ones. If you seek feedback from colleagues and receive five positive responses and one negative one, which one is more likely to stick with you? It’s that single negative response and it’s going to drive you nuts.

What Does It Mean To Have A Limitless Mindset?

When you have a limitless mindset, you truly believe you can handle anything that comes your way in life.

Regardless of uncertainty, surprises, unfortunate circumstances, or challenges, you believe you can find a way to work through them and continue on your pathway through life successfully.

A person with a limitless mindset has a good sense of who they are and what they can do. Rather than automatically assuming that they will not be able to do something, they begin to think of all the ways they can accomplish the task with the resources they already have available to them.

People with limitless mindsets are always striving to move forward and they do not believe in placing any kind of limitation on themselves and what they can do.

Even if they do not have a particular skill or resource needed to overcome a challenge or accomplish a task, they will begin to devise a way to improve their skills or gather new resources to get the job done.

A limitless mindset is living life unfiltered – rather than holding yourself back because of all the “what ifs” or “should haves” or “should have nots” in life, having a limitless mindset gives you the strength and gusto to push forward, work hard, and do your best, no matter what.

Do You Have A Limited Mindset?

There are some key characteristics related to having a limited mindset, including…

Feeling like you are “stuck” in life

When you have a limited mindset, you probably are not doing much learning or exploring. This can lead to feeling like you are not moving forward in life. When you do not take the chance to explore new things or try anything different, you stay “stuck” where you are.

Resisting change or unfamiliar situations

If you feel resistant to making any changes in life, deviating from your typical routines, or getting yourself into unfamiliar situations, you may have a limited mindset. Rather than giving yourself the opportunity to explore and learn more, you limit what you are willing to experience.

Feeling anxious about the unknown

People who limit their mindsets often experience a lot of anxiety, particularly about the unknowns of life. Because they cannot know everything and always have an accurate picture of how things will turn out for them, they feel a lot of anxiety that causes them to limit themselves.

CHANGE YOUR LIFE BY DEVELOPING A LIMITLESS MINDSET

Benefits Of A Limitless Mindset

A limitless mindset has some more positive key features of its own, including…

A renewed sense of adventure and curiosity

When you do not feel like you are limiting yourself, you appreciate all the opportunities you have to learn, grow, and explore more openly. When you are not limiting yourself to what you think you can handle or feel most comfortable approaching, you feel genuinely excited and curious about exploring the unknown.

A deeper feeling of life satisfaction

Without any limits, you are able to really enjoy life for everything it’s worth. You do not spend time wondering about what could have been or what you wish you had done differently because you never limit yourself in the first place. This leads to a deep sense of satisfaction with everything you have already done in life.

A higher self esteem

Placing limits on yourself can be harmful to your self esteem. It’s tough to feel good about yourself when you believe you must limit what you are able to try or do in the world.

When you take away those limits, you feel much better about yourself because you realize exactly how strong and capable you are.

Other Benefits Associated With Having A Limitless Mindset Include…

A broader understanding of the world around you

Because you are not limiting yourself, you get to experience quite a bit of the world around you. You do not allow the discomfort of an unfamiliar situation stop you from exploring it – instead, you embrace that unfamiliarity and strive to learn as much as possible.

An impressive list of accomplishments

People with limitless mindsets get things done. Even if their first few attempts are a little shaky, they understand that making mistakes and having to try again is a big part of the learning process.

At the end of the day, a person with a limitless mindset has an impressive list of accomplishments to their name because they are never scared to go after everything they want in life.

An increased sense of resiliency

Having a limitless mindset makes you a more resilient person. Rather than letting a mistake, setback, or failure discourage you from trying again at something, you push through those tough times and “bounce back” much quicker than folks who limit their thinking.

You understand that mistakes and failures are a part of the process, and in your quest to learn and grow, you embrace them so you can continue moving forward.

Increased openness and understanding of others

People with limitless mindsets understand the value other people bring into their lives.
Hearing others’ stories, learning their unique skills, experiencing their cultures, and knowing all about them does more than build their social networks – it makes them far more aware and educated about everything in the world outside of their norms.

Because of this, people with limitless mindsets are far more open and understanding of other people. They know the world is a big, diverse place, and different people will bring different unique features to the table.

Rather than feeling intimidated by differences, folks with limitless mindsets embrace those features for their true, high value.
