When you think about your story, what often comes to mind is the series of events that make up your past; the things that have happened to you. It’s a powerful moment when you understand that your story is, in fact, not just a series of events that happened to you. Your story is what shaped your life, your beliefs, attitudes, and perceptions. Among these, limiting beliefs are more influential than many others. These beliefs are the assumptions and convictions you hold, not about the world around you, but about yourself. It’s what you believe that sets constraints for you in some way.

Recognizing and understanding what your limiting beliefs are is the first step in rewriting your story.
