Ahoy there, detective! Before we can challenge these niggly little beliefs, we first need to understand their roots. Just like a cheeky garden weed, understanding where it sprouts from is essential to ensure it doesn’t make a grand return. Limiting beliefs often aren’t the result of a single, monumental blunder or heartbreak but rather a medley of memories, remarks, and societal expectations that we’ve absorbed throughout our lives.

Remember that day in primary school, standing in front of the class, your cheeks burning, as a few snickers escaped from your peers over a misunderstood question? Or that well-meaning relative who said you were ‘just not cut out’ for something? These moments, though they may seem minuscule in isolation, pile up like an avalanche over time. They mould and shape our subconscious minds, whispering tales of caution and restraint. It’s these tales, born from a patchwork quilt of experiences, that end up defining the barriers we set for ourselves. So, as we peel back the layers, it’s crucial to acknowledge each memory’s weight and role in shaping the narrative we tell ourselves.
