How to Challenge Your Negative Beliefs
When you come across a limiting thought or belief, the first step is to label it. Naming a thought helps you to separate from it.
Ex thought: “I’m a failure.”
Then ask yourself: Is it true?
Ex : “Am I really a failure?”
Do I have all the evidence?
Ex : “I did fail once, but I‘ve succeeded many times too.”
What would my best friend say about this?
Ex : “Of course you’re not a failure.”
Will this matter 5 years from now?
Ex : “I probably won’t even remember this in 5 years.”
The last step is to reframe the limiting belief into a positive counter thought.
Ex : “Just because I might have failed in the past, doesn’t mean I’ll fail again. This is hard, but I believe in myself.”
