Limiting Beliefs: How to Overcome and Rise Above What’s Holding You Back

Your limiting beliefs may be the thing blocking your dreams not your circumstances.

Ouch, that’s the truth you might not want to hear!

Do you let yourself dream big?
Do you set goals that stretch you?
Or does fear creep in and stop you before you start?

Maybe this sounds familiar:

  • You set a goal but then panic because you’re afraid you’ll fail.

  • Or even worse, you don’t set the goal at all.

Let’s discuss Limiting Beliefs that you may be struggling with! 

Let Go of Those Limiting Beliefs at ANY AGE!

What Are Limiting Beliefs?

Limiting beliefs show up quietly, and they sound like:

  • “I can’t earn a six-figure income because I don’t know how.”
  • “I can’t go swimming on vacation because I need to lose weight.”
  • “I can’t do an Ironman Triathlon because I’m not an athlete.”
  • “I can’t go back to college because I’m too old.”
  • “I can’t move to another country (🇨🇷🇦🇺🇧🇷🇪🇸🇲🇽🇨🇦).”

Every single one starts with:

“I can’t.”

When you begin a sentence with “I can’t,” you’ve already decided to fail before you even try.

Where Limiting Beliefs Really Come From

The wild thing about limiting beliefs is that they usually don’t start with us.

They come from stories we absorbed over time:  childhood, parents, past relationships, teachers, partners, bosses, friends, or moments we felt embarrassed, ashamed, rejected, or not enough.

Somewhere along the way, a single comment from a single person became a whole identity.

One moment of fear turned into a personality trait.

One failure became a “truth.”

And without realizing it, we begin living according to rules that were never ours to begin with.

Maybe someone told you:

  • “People like us don’t do things like that.”
  • “Be realistic.”
  • “You’re too old for that.”
  • “You should be grateful for what you have.”
  • “Don’t rock the boat.”
  • “That’s not responsible.”

 

Or maybe your limiting beliefs came from years of taking care of everyone else and forgetting how capable you really are.

The problem is… those old stories become automatic.
They become the voice in your head that answers before you do.

That’s why rewriting limiting beliefs isn’t just mindset work; it’s identity work.

It’s choosing who you want to become instead of who you were told to be.

Erase the Limiting Beliefs and Find Your Path!

Flip the Script: Turn “I Can’t” Into “How Can I?”

What if you stopped shutting down your dreams…
and started getting curious about them?

Try this shift:

  • Want to move to another country? Start researching, ask questions, talk to expats.

  • Want to complete an Ironman Triathlon?Reach out to a coach or someone who’s done it.

  • Want to earn more? Find a mentor, take a course, learn a skill.

Every big dream begins with one small step.

But you’ll never take that step if doubt is running the show.

What Happens When You Challenge Your Limiting Beliefs

And here’s the beautiful part: when you start questioning those “I can’t” beliefs, things shift fast.

You begin noticing:

  • You’re more confident speaking up

  • You’re willing to try new things

  • You stop apologizing for wanting more

  • You take bolder action

  • You feel more grounded in who you are

  • You see opportunities you missed before

  • You trust yourself in a way you haven’t in years

It’s not because life magically gets easier. It’s because you get stronger.

You start living from possibility instead of fear.

From curiosity instead of comparison.

From courage instead of self-doubt.

And THAT is where transformation begins.

STOP Holding Yourself Back

This is your permission slip:

You’re allowed to want more.
You’re allowed to change your life.
You’re allowed to outgrow old stories.
You’re allowed to take up space.
You’re allowed to start NOW — at any age.

You don’t need the whole plan.
You just need the first step.

When you stop letting limiting beliefs lead,
your world begins to open up.

And you rise.
