How to: Challenge a limiting belief

Why this happens

Limiting beliefs are overgeneralized rules formed from past experiences or incomplete evidence. They narrow perception and behavior, often hiding in everyday self talk.

What usually helps

Examine the belief with evidence, test the logic, and design a more useful alternative that still feels true. The recommended starters use a direct challenger and Socratic analysis to replace rigid rules with flexible, reality tested beliefs.
