How to reprogram your mind and change limiting beliefs

Our brains interpret information according to our filters (which include your thoughts, beliefs, traumas, past experiences, memories, etc). These are our unconscious programs. We can train our minds by choosing better programs which changes our feelings and thus our behaviours and actions.

Let me make an example-

I have had this limiting belief that I’m not worthy also known as feeling wholly inadequate, it has plagued me and came up in various ways.

So this is one the ways I have reprogrammed my mind about this limitation.

I use this simple yet extremely effective technique to heal limiting beliefs very quickly

With every limiting belief I’ve healed, I’ve taken myself one step closer to my fitrah, believing in myself and feeling worthy. 

Support is available.

The “how to’s” can be easy when you have the proper guidance.

Give yourself about 10mins of quiet and alone time to do this exercise.

1. Realise the programme that is not working for your life anymore eg: Wanting external approval to feel worthy

2. Decide what you would rather want to feel or believe eg: self approval or feeling worthy

3. Sit in a comfortable position, breathe in fully and exhale completely. Go to the time you can remember needing external approval to feel worthy

4. With your eyes closed, go into the experience. See it clearly as if it's happening right now. Hear everything as you did then, feel everything you felt at the time.

5. Now start increasing that feeling of the limiting belief (external approval )... notice the feeling gets bigger and bigger as you breathe.

6. Just before it gets too much, squeeze your left knee and release that limitation into that knee. Notice and feel how it moves from your body into your knee. 

7. Now very importantly, shake it off. Get up, move your body and shake it off.

8. Next, with your eyes closed again, think of a time when you felt and experienced the belief you'd rather have eg approving of yourself for your self worth. If you can't remember a specific time, then imagine what it would be like based on a time you saw it or read about it, or felt it in someone else. 

9. Now immerse yourself in this new belief eg: feeling worthy. See yourself, your body language, the people around you when you have this belief. Hear what you and others are saying and feeling. Feel what it feels like all over again,in your body, in your thoughts and your emotions. Sense all the finer details of this experience. Make it bigger and stornger as it grows with certainty inside you. 

11. Just before it gets too much, squeeze your right knee & transfer that feeling into that knee. Now feel how it leaves your body and goes into that knee. Your whole body is rejoicing. 

12. Now go back to the memory when you thought you needed others' approval to feel worthy. Go into the memory completely and when you have the memory completely, press both your knees at the same time. Holding it for +30 secs.

Voila!

There you have it, you have just collapsed & reprogrammed the limitation you had. No need to feel it again. And now, you are one step closer to loving myself more and living authentically.

One step closer to your fitrah/authentic self, believing in yourself and feeling worthy. You can do this with any limiting belief just like I have.

Lots of Love
