Beliefs Which Limit Success

JUST FOR TODAY:  Let go of any beliefs which limit your success – for weight loss, eating disorder recovery or any area of your life.

"I've tried to lose weight and failed more times that I can count, so I'll probably fail again."  "It's too hard to change my eating and exercise habits, I just can't do it."  "I'm afraid of the unknown, and what success may bring."  These are just a few examples of some beliefs which limit success.  Consider these limiting beliefs like weeds in a garden – they can continue to increase in size until they eventually overtake the things you'd really like to grow.  When you notice a limiting belief, imagine that you are letting it go, as if you are uprooting a weed from a garden.    Sometimes, limiting beliefs can have deep roots, and they may re-emerge.  With conscious awareness of these beliefs, and a persistence to remove them from your mind, you truly can be free of their effect on your life.  Do some weeding today!
