Beyond Limiting Beliefs: Breakthroughs, Achievement & Prosperity with Psychology
Do you want to experience a boost in confidence and continuous progress towards your goals using cognitive restructuring and mental resilience strategies?
Dive into the power of psychology with Constantin Morun and learn how to overcome limiting beliefs for unparalleled success.
You've probably heard that mindset is key, but the real foundation is our psychology - our core beliefs and thought patterns, shaped by neuroplasticity, lay the groundwork for success.
I used to struggle with a cycle of negative self-talk over failures - calling myself names, doubting my abilities, typical of a limiting belief system. It led to destructive actions and poor results.
The game changer for me was interrupting those automatic negative thought patterns and consciously reshaping my inner dialogue.
Now, I practice cognitive behavioral techniques. Instead of berating myself, I celebrate catching self-criticism, take a mindful breath, and actively reframe my thinking.
This approach can empower you too, helping you transform self-criticism into opportunities for growth and self-compassion.
It takes practice, but over time it's transformed my self-image, behaviors and outcomes.
In this episode, you will be able to find neuroscience insights and practical strategies around:
Overcoming limiting beliefs that hold you back from reaching your goals.
Rewiring your brain's automatic reactions.
Harnessing neuroplasticity to foster a growth mindset.
Reshaping your thoughts and beliefs to unlock your full potential.
Building self-compassion to overcome perfectionism.
Reframing thoughts about others to reduce comparison/prejudice.
Balancing realism and optimism to create a powerful mindset for success.
