Identify Limiting Beliefs

In this video I’m going to show you an easy way to identify your limiting beliefs and how to get rid of them using tapping.

Say you’ve been looking to progress in your career. You feel that getting a promotion would be a good way to progress higher up the hierarchy. You might say, “I would progress in my career if I get a promotion.”

Then look for an objection that your mind throws at you. “But they will promote Jim over me.” That’s an objection. Even though you think that getting a promotion is a great way to move ahead in your career, you don’t believe that that is possible for you because they’ll promote Jim over you.

You might have learned from your past experiences where they promoted other people over you or that you were overlooked. You were just not given a promotion. You want to locate objections.

It may be that you feel that moving ahead in your career if you change your job, if you change to a better job. Now look for an objection. “That would require a longer commute. My current workplace is closer to my home and the commute is very comfortable. This is an objection. That changing a job may mean a longer commute.

It may be that you’re trying to lose weight and then you say, “Okay, I want to be at this goal weight and that’s what I want.” Then look for objections. “But what will I do with my current set of clothes? I’ll have to throw them all away or have them taken in, which is expensive.” That is an objection: wastage of current wardrobe.

These are the objections. These objections are your limiting beliefs. They are the stumbling blocks. They are the ones that are stopping you from getting into that state of belief, where you believe that a promotion is possible for you, that getting a job where the commute may be just as convenient is possible for you, that losing weight without wasting a lot of money is possible for you. Or that a way may come out where you don’t have to end up wasting a wardrobe, you may exchange it or do something.

These stumbling blocks put a wall in front of us so that we are unable to look at our goals, we are just stuck looking at these limiting beliefs or these stumbling blocks. The way to identify the limiting beliefs is to look for objections. Why not? Why will it not happen?

Once you have a list of such objections the way to get started with tapping in this case would be, “Even though they will promote Jim over me, because they always do it, I’m always overlooked for promotions, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.”

“Even though I won’t be able to move ahead in my career because they will promote Jim over me, they always promote somebody else over me. I’m always overlooked for promotions, I deeply and completely love, accept and honor myself.” Something like that, that’s going to be your setup statement.

You have extracted a limiting belief and you have immediately started tapping on it using the same exact wording as the limiting belief. You just throw it into your tapping phrase and there you are.

“They will promote Jim over me. They always do it. I’m always overlooked for promotions. They will promote Jim over me. I won’t get the promotion. I’ll be stuck where I am.” You have already started to take into account that limiting belief and started releasing it right away.

That is the quickest way to go from a goal to objection and then to targeting and releasing the objection using tapping. The language to pickup is from the language of the objection.
