Limiting beliefs may be common but that doesn’t mean that they’re easy to identify. “Often we feed ourselves negativity without even realising we’re doing it,” Gemma says.

Therefore, the first step to dealing with limiting beliefs is recognising them. “Every time you notice yourself saying you can’t do something or you shouldn’t do something, take note of what it is you’re saying,” says Gemma.

You might say these things to yourself, out loud or even write them down. “Journaling can be helpful so you can look back on what you’ve written and identify any limiting beliefs,” Gemma suggests.
