One of the quickest ways to easily achieve any amount of success in life is to change your beliefs. Successful people know that by holding congruent beliefs, you not only clear the way to magnetically attract that which you desire, but you will powerfully propel yourself towards them at the same time. A simple way to get rid of limiting beliefs, and replace them with empowering ones combines two simple techniques. Sentence completion, and affirmations. I've written about changing beliefs and other ideas to easily get what you want on my blog. Many people have found that these articles are not only incredibly useful, but easy to understand and apply.
The first step, sentence completion, works like this. Think of something that you want. Then you write a sentence stem to find out what's stopping you, Say you want to lose five pounds. Some examples of a good sentence stem would be:
I can't lose five pounds because...
I want to lose five pounds but...
The biggest thing stopping me from losing five pounds is...
The secret with this is to say or write at least ten things after the stem. It usually takes about 3 to 7 "fake" answers to get to the real ones. For example, some "fake" answers would be
I don't have time.
I don't have enough money for a gym membership.
I have no willpower etc.
These are designed to protect your ego from facing the real reason you can't get what you want. Be forewarned, sometimes these evoke some deep issues, so be prepared to have some stuff come up. For example, you might come up with:
I'll lose my friends.
My boyfriend/girlfriend will break up with me.
Nobody will like me.
If it sounds too hard, don't worry. When the real reason comes up, you'll know it. You'll get that unmistakable "aha" feeling.
Next is to construct the affirmation. You want to combine your goal with the opposite of the reason that you can't get your goal. Taking the three examples above, your affirmations would be.
I easily weigh (current weight minus five pounds) AND my friends love me even more.
I easily weigh (current weight minus five pounds) AND my boyfriend/girlfriend loves the new me.
I easily weigh (current weight minus five pounds) AND I have more friends that ever.
It takes some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be amazed how powerfully it can change your life. When you realize on a deep level that the only thing stopping you in life is your mind, you'll see how easily you can begin to make changes that you never thought possible.
