A simple exercise to identify limiting beliefs

by Miriam Castilla | Oct 5, 2022 | Money Blocks

Contrary to popular belief, limiting beliefs are NOT difficult to identify!

In fact – that in itself is a limiting belief!

Limiting beliefs can cause you to procrastinate, self-sabotage, freeze up in fear and miss out on golden opportunities. They generally make life difficult.

But to IDENTIFY limiting beliefs is incredibly quick & easy!

In this episode, I’m going to show you exactly how easy and simple identifying your limiting beliefs is.
I’ll share the ONE simple question that helps you do it – and show you how to use it!

Why is this process so simple? Because we deal with the issue at its source – your unconscious mind!

It’s your unconscious mind that CHOOSES which beliefs you take on. And it’s tapping into your unconscious mind by asking ONE simple question that helps you identify those beliefs.

And when it comes to later transforming and CHANGING those beliefs, it’s again quickest & most effective to work with your unconscious mind. But let’s worry about IDENTIFYING your limiting beliefs first!

This is actually the most important – and empowering – part of the process.

Because when you shine that light of consciousness, you are bringing that belief out of the unconscious and into your conscious awareness. And THAT is when you’re back in the driver’s seat and in a position of power.

To do that is really not that difficult. In fact, I’ve created an entire DIY system called the Limiting Belief Busting Process to help you identify and transform your limiting beliefs.

In a moment, I’ll take you through the first part of that process – to IDENTIFY YOUR LIMITING BELIEF.

We do this based on one simple principle: “Your Reasons Demonstrate Your Beliefs.”

Here’s how to apply this: Any time I ask you, “Why do you do that, say that or think that?” The REASON you give me basically tells me what you believe. It’s the beliefs you hold that inform your actions, words & thoughts.

I’m sure you’ve noticed this in your own life. Sometimes you will say something to another person and they make it mean something entirely different. That’s because they hold a belief that is coloring their perception. We all filter our experiences through this lens of our perception. And this lens is colored based on our belief system.

We don’t really experience the world as it is. We experience the world as we believe it to be.

Any time you experience negative emotions, it’s a sign that you have a limiting belief. So if you’re wondering where to begin, just look at your negative emotions. Because they indicate that you’re being triggered by a negative limiting belief. So your emotions are very helpful because they provide a signal and a clue that points you in the right direction.

So let’s demonstrate how easy it is to identify limiting beliefs. I’ll give you an example and you can play along at home with your own limiting belief.

We start with a negative emotion – identifying both the emotion and the situation it relates to.
(incidentally, if you watch the video for this episode, you’ll see me demonstrate this process using the Limiting Belief Busting Toolkit)

Let’s pretend it’s, “I feel really stressed out and scared about launching my new group program”

So we’ve identified the feeling and what it’s related to.

Now let’s use the principle I shared that our reasons demonstrate our beliefs.
We want to find out the reason for this emotion. How do we do that…? SIMPLE! We just ask!!

We literally ask, ”Why do I feel that way about this situation?”

Why do you feel really stressed out and scared?

You could feel any other way. You could feel excited and inspired, yet you choose to feel stressed out and scared. Why do you feel that way?

And your answer will show you the underlying belief.

Let’s pretend the answer is, “Because I still feel like I don’t know enough and people won’t buy it anyway.”

So what we actually have in this example, is something that happens a lot in real life. And that is that we’ve identified TWO limiting beliefs!

First we have, ‘I still don’t know enough’.

And that’s definitely a big limiting belief.. and also very common in the women business owners I work with. This is why they tend to keep enrolling in more courses, doing more marketing programs and hiring yet another new coach.… (ring any bells..?)

So ‘I still don’t know enough‘ is definitely a limiting belief that’s going to cause all sorts of trouble and hold you back.

But we’ve also identified a second limiting belief, ‘People won’t buy it anyway’.

This is a limiting belief that people won’t buy what you have to offer – that they don’t want it.

So by getting clear on the negative emotion and asking what the reason for that feeling is, we’ve identified not one, but TWO limiting beliefs!

If we were continuing to work through the Limiting Belief Busting Process, we would now release and replace these beliefs. And we would do that by focusing on one at a time. My recommendation is to start with the one that holds the most energy – the secondary one will usually fall away in the process.

So there you have it! It’s that quick and easy to identify your limiting beliefs.

All we’ve basically done is ask one question, ‘Why do you feel this negative emotion?’

By identifying the belief, you’ve taken away its power and done the lion share of the work.

Remember, this was an unconscious limiting belief until now. By identifying it, you’ve brought it into your conscious awareness. You’re literally shining a light of consciousness on it and put yourself in a position of power.

So now you can ask yourself, “Do I really want this limiting belief to inform the way I show up, the way I run my business, the way I do life? Do I want to start looking at things differently? And in what ways can I start to do that?”

Everything changes once you’ve identified that limiting belief.

The Hidden Money Block Nobody Talks About

What to do about money stress – before you do anything else!

The Hidden Money Block Nobody Talks About

by Miriam Castilla | Jul 6, 2022 | Money Blocks

There’s a hidden money block nobody talks about… and it’s a lack of money confidence!

While people busily work on their mindset and try to align with more abundance, so more money can flow – they often miss one very important detail.

And that is that, once the money comes in, you actually have to deal with it!

Because you’ll need to distribute your income, pay your bills and taxes and make a whole bunch of financial decisions.

You’ll ALWAYS have to interface with your money – no matter how much – or how little – comes in it.

You simply cannot avoid dealing with your money.

OR READ THE TRANSCRIPT:

And if you lack confidence – if you’re not sure how to best manage your money – that right there is a MASSIVE mindset wobble AND a huge vibrational wobble!

Because if there’s uncertainty, intrepidation or even anxiety….

If you’re uncomfortable looking at your banking…
If you’re not quite sure what the best thing to do with your money is…

That creates an unconscious block to more of it flowing into your experience!

You will unconsciously BLOCK IT – because ultimately, it gets UNCOMFORTABLE

And no amount of alignment or mindset work can overcome that.

When I first started working with women in business on their money mindset, I noticed an attitude of “I’ll just manifest more money and that’ll fix everything.”

They thought by manifesting more, they’d be able to avoid having to deal with it

But that’s backwards!

Because the sooner that we gain those money skills, the sooner we grow in money confidence – which helps us dissolve those mindset and energetic wobbles, so more money can flow.

If you lack confidence in managing your finances, you’re definitely not alone!

Because most of us were never shown what to do. Nobody showed us how to organize and manage our money when we were young. And even if you took a business course, usually you learn how to manage the company’s money, but not your personal money. (I’ve worked with several Accountants who struggled to manage their personal finances, because nobody had ever taught them!)

Most people walk around with this silent money shame.
They’re just making it up as they go, hoping for the best. But they don’t feel like they know what they’re doing. They have no confidence in their ability to make the right decisions.

And if that’s you, please know it’s not your fault!
Because how are you meant to know what to do, if nobody ever showed you?

If you have ever tried to get help with managing your finances, you probably noticed how hard it is to find someone who’s able and willing to teach you what you need to do.

When I first started my business, my accountant would tell me how well I was doing.. but we never talked about my credit card debt and the enormous stress it was causing me! My business was going great, but I was personally super stressed about money! And my accountant only focused on the business and its finances. And it wasn’t their fault – that’s their job.

Then there are financial advisers & planners. But they’re usually looking to invest a few hundred thousand dollars of your money to help secure your financial future. And that’s great, but how do you get there in the first place?

Last – and definitely LEAST – are the “Done For You” budgeting and money management services!
I have a major issue with those and think they’re rife with danger.

Because when you give away your power, not only do you never learn how to manage your money…
You’re paying somebody else (often exorbitant sums of money) to do it for you and that keeps you stuck, waiting for them to give you weekly pocket money like a kid.

When I was running my finance business, I often saw these services go horribly wrong for my clients. It made me so angry. Clients were paying huge amounts of money but not learning how to take responsibility for their finances or become financially independent.

And worst of all… unbeknownst to them, their bills – including their mortgages – were often being consistently paid late – and their credit score took a dive down the toilet!
It left many people in a very difficult predicament.

So I urge you: Get educated and learn how to manage your money YOURSELF!

The great news is that it’s so much easier than you think! It just takes a simple step by step process. And it all starts by asking yourself “How do I do this and where do I start?”

Above all, please give yourself a break and stop blaming yourself!
Because remember, nobody ever taught you how to do it! And the resultant lack of money confidence is a massive money block – which only makes things harder!

But as you set out to educate yourself and learn how to manage your money, you’ll transform your relationship with money. As you grow in money confidence, it will help dissolve those money blocks and old stories of “I’m not good with money. Money slips through my fingers” etc

And as these things start to shift, you’ll start to attract more money consistently. And that will help buoy your confidence… and then you’re up & away!

Learning how to take loving care of your money is a beautiful healing act that helps you transform your relationship with money – both inside and out.

It makes you magnetic to more and it transforms the way you feel about life. It’s a beautiful thing.

If you’re not sure where to begin, I recommend starting by organizing your banking, because having that set up properly is the foundation stone of a money system designed for growth.
I have a free workshop you can take to help you do that, Just click click here to get started.

I look forward to seeing you there so you can start transforming your relationship with money from the inside out.

Remember, abundance is an inside job – but there are things you need to do on the ‘outside’ that allow it to flow.

Before you go, I’d love to hear from you!
On a scale of 1-10, where’s your money confidence at right now?
