Overcoming Limiting Beliefs: The Truth About Rewiring Your Mind
Limiting beliefs are some of the hardest ones to break not because you’re weak, but because they’re deeply wired into your subconscious. With the right tools and patience, you can rewrite them.
In Episode 3 on the She Trusts Herself podcast, I shared something a mind-blowing fact on how long it takes to overwrite a limiting belief:
“It takes 650+ repetitions of the new belief for it to actually override the limiting belief.”
This is why affirmations don’t “work” after a day. This is why you can’t journal something once and expect transformation. Overwriting a deeply embedded belief takes time, self-compassion and patience.
How Limiting Beliefs Form
Limiting beliefs usually come from:
- childhood experiences
- societal expectations
- past failures
- fear of rejection
- fear of success
- or simply repetition of old stories
They become the default setting but autopilot thoughts can be rewritten.
The Process of Rewiring a Belief
Here’s what it actually looks like:
You say the new belief… and don’t believe it.
You say it again… and still don’t believe it.
You say it for the 100th time… and feel nothing.
You say it for the 300th time… and feel a tiny shift.
You say it for the 650th time… and suddenly it lands.
This is the moment your subconscious finally accepts the new truth and your old belief is finished.
My Current Belief Rewiring
Right now, I’m working on:
I am worthy of abundance.
At first, it felt false. Forced. Uncomfortable.
But repetition creates resonance. And resonance creates belief.
Actionable Tips for Overcoming Limiting Beliefs
- Choose one belief to focus on: Don’t overwhelm your mind.
- Create a simple affirmation: Keep it short and clear.
- Repeat it daily: Morning, midday, evening.
- Attach a feeling to it: Close your eyes and embody the emotion you want to feel.
- Write it down: Repetition through writing strengthens the pathway.
- Record yourself saying it: Listen back to your own voice as a reminder.
- Be patient: Rewiring takes time — and that’s okay.
