Our beliefs are formed from our experience of the world around us and often develop early on in life. Limiting beliefs are what stops us from moving forward and making progress by clouding our view of the world. Whatever you believe, will cause you to behave in a way that reinforces that belief.
Such beliefs may be - "I'm not good with figures", "I can't do that ...". Any statement where you use the words 'always', 'never' or 'can't' is likely to show-up a limiting belief and it can apply both to yourself and your belief about other people.
Take this opportunity to work through one of your own limiting beliefs, you might want to take a piece of paper or notebook and find a place where you can think quietly for a few moments.
1. What limiting or negative belief are you holding about the world around you? What statements are true for you - "I can't ....", "People always ....."
2. How do you know that it's true? What evidence do you have that supports this belief? You probably have lots because you will consciously or sub-consciously only see the evidence that supports it.
Think about the way your mind focuses when you buy a new car - suddenly you see lots of the same car on the road. Nothing has changed your mind is just more tuned to seeing that one particular type of car over all the others.
3. What evidence do you have that does not support this belief? This will be harder to see as you've only been tuned into the negative. Friends and colleagues may be able to help on this one.
Look at the world around you - what evidence is there that does not support this belief. What are other people's beliefs and experiences - are they the same as yours?
4. How does it feel to have this belief? What do you feel and what reaction does it create for you both physically and mentally? How do you behave when you have this belief? How do you treat yourself and others?
5. How does this belief support you, how does it keep you safe or stop you moving from where you feel comfortable? What is it costing you to keep this belief?
6. What would you do differently if you didn't hold this belief? How would your life be if you didn't have this belief? Turn the belief around and think or write down the opposite - "I'm good at figures", I can do ...". How true or real is the belief now.
Don't react to the first answers that come into your mind. These are likely to be based on what you already believe. Wait and see what happens after a little more quiet thought.
Take a more positive look at the world around you and see what you can do to change your old beliefs.
Our beliefs are formed from our experience of the world around us and often develop early on in life. Limiting beliefs are what stops us from moving forward and making progress by clouding our view of the world. Whatever you believe, will cause you to behave in a way that reinforces that belief.

Unleash The Full Power Of Your Brain Using This Visualization Technique
Visualization is the use of mental imagery to redirect our emotions and manifest these changes into the physical world. The use of visualization in our lives is extremely powerful whether we are striving for physical benefits or towards desired goals and achievements. Focusing on these mental images that we generate can produce both positive and negative changes in our lives, so it is imperative that we are implementing positive visualization in our lives.
Your brain is divided into two hemispheres - the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere. Now, the left side of our brains is where our sense of logic resides and the right side of our brains is where our creativity resides. Since we are trained from a very young age that things must "make sense" and be logical, we tend to rely on our left brains for day to day survival. This creates an imbalance in our brains and blocks change and renewal in our lives. The use of visualization methods helps us to tap into our right brains and restore and unleash all of the hidden potential hiding there.
With that being said, there are not really any visualization secrets that you do not already know. You just need to be open to the concept of visualization itself. You can quickly and easily implement visualization methods into your lifestyle and see positive changes within six weeks or so.
There are only a few steps you need get to you started with visualization. First, you will need a quiet place to practice your visualization. In order for the process to work, you must have defined your SPECIFIC goals and intentions. When you are beginning, concentrate on your breathing - slowly and deeply. Then simply visualize yourself as having achieved your goal, whether that is better health or a new job.
If visualization sounds a bit like meditation, that is because it is. But instead of clearing your mind, you focus on and visualize your goals instead. At first, your mind may be a bit resistant to it, but keep practicing and concentrating on your visualization, and soon you will notice the positive results in your life.
Here's some of the benefits you can achieve with visualization:
1. Putting you in the right frame of mind
Sometimes life can be very distracting, especially when we are currently living in an information age. Visualization help you to stay focus at the present moment and put you in the right frame of mind.
2. Achieve positive attitude
If you can image yourself having a successful result, you will definitely be much more positive in engaging what you are going to do. This will in turn give you a more positive result.
3. Expanding your ideas
As you visualize and move toward your goal, you will be surprised at the many difference ideas that will hit you. And some of these ideas will make a huge difference between achieving a super or mediocre result.

The Secret To Visualization Its Something Most People Miss
I have never underestimated the power of visualization! It has always been a winning technique for me. I want to tell you there is a secret to it that most people miss.
I discovered at a young age that I loved to use my imagination.
I would see all kinds of wonderful things happening for me. This brought me to the realization that everything I had created up to that point I had first visualized.
If that were true and it was then I can create ANYTHING with this.
”All Your Wishes Are Granted Master!”
I remember that feeling, it was awe-inspiring. I felt as if I had discovered this power that was similar to a genie. “All your wishes are granted, master.” Sounds good to me!
You don’t want to get visualizing and day dreaming confused. When you visualize you have an intention behind it. That intention creates, energy and the energy creates attraction and that attraction brings about the manifestation.
To give you an example, if I am visualizing about becoming a motivational speaker and I have the intention of speaking for a large group of professionals, inspiring them to move to a higher level of success in their lives.
The Dream
I would see myself in front of a room of hundred’s of people all dressed in business attire. The room is large and open with high ceilings and large open windows all along one side of the room allowing the sun to pour in from out side.
I am standing at a tall dark brown podium. I am dressed in a professional black and grey business suit. I feel excited and enthusiastic as I look into the audience. I can feel my heart beating faster.
I take my time looking around the room connecting with the people in the audience. I can see their faces, I notice their expressions. Are they tired or happy to be there. This allows me to see the audience as human beings, that are individuals rather then a meld of one massive group.
If I only see a massive group that is faceless that can be intimidating. But one person, is one person. If I really look at that person I can see they are just like me. I then do this with the next person and so on. I find the commonality which connects me instead of separating me.
As I connect with the different people in the room I can feel a calm washing over me. I begin to feel centered and at ease with myself. We are all here for the same purpose to raise our level of awareness, so we can easily move through life.
In the short time it takes me to connect with the audience I feel inspiration. Once I am inspired the positive energy starts to flow through me spilling out to the audience. They can feel it and before you know it we as a group are off and running. It’s a connection!
That was a detailed story. The more I can feel that visualization, the more real it is the more likely it is to happen.
Why? At this point I am aligning myself with the vibration that will produce the result. If I am not clear or I included a (disbelief) that hundred’s of business people would pay to hear me speak, then I am sending out a vibration that will manifest exactly that. That would be the opposite of what I want to happen.
Breaking It Down
Looking at it closer you can see that in order for my visualization to become a reality I have to believe it can come true. Then, I have to feel what that is like. Really allow yourself to feel this.
If you are blocked here and can’t feel the excitement, that is the first stumbling block standing in your way. You may not realize this is happening so you keep visualizing that same scene with no excitement or feeling for weeks. When nothing happens with your visualization you decide the process doesn’t work and you stop doing it.
Visualization Is Not Only Seeing
It’s really easy to miss the feeling portion of all this. If you can’t feel it but can only see it, ask yourself, “What is stopping me from feeling excited or peaceful about this?” Now pay attention to what is coming up for you.
Look and see if there is a possibility that you are visualizing something you really aren’t ready for at this time. You may not feel you deserve it. You may feel you do deserve it but are frightened of how it will change your life when you get what you have always wanted.
Preparing For your Visualization to Happen
If your visualization is too big right now, make it smaller until you do feel comfortable with it. That does not mean you shouldn’t dream big, it means hold a less intimidating vision for yourself that would be a stepping stone to the bigger vision.
Graduating To the Big Dream
Once you feel comfortable with the smaller visualization and your great feelings are in alignment with your vision then go to the next step.
Let’s say that you have the “Motivational Speaker” dream. But speaking in front of a hundred’s of business professionals that are all spending their hard earned money to listen to you can feel stressful.
Begin by seeing yourself speaking to a small group of five to ten people that you feel comfortable with. Allow yourself to feel at ease with the idea. Then each day expand it until you confidently see your self speaking to a group of hundreds.
Happy Visualizing!!
