The coral reef had become a silent graveyard but was soon brought back to life

A lone diver placed a few black boxes on the “dead” reef, set up some cameras and then swam away. Weeks later something had changed. There were fish gliding around where few had been before. They were finding food on the reef and so accidentally cleaning it. Sea creatures that make food from light were back too. And, of course, predators had returned. The reef was thriving again.

What caused this sudden transformation?

One of the black boxes the diver left behind contained a speaker. This speaker broadcasted sounds that attracted other fish. The sounds were not of classical music or rock and roll, though. They were the sounds of a healthy reef. These sounds attracted reef-dwelling fish, which helped the dead reef recover. A dead reef, it appears, isn’t permanently dead. With the right strategies, it can recover.

Limiting self-beliefs also seem to “damage” us

But while many see this damage as permanent, we know it isn’t. You can change limiting self-beliefs so that you live more freely as the person you want to be. So we’ll be discussing why limiting beliefs about ourselves have the negative effect they do and how to remove them. But first, we need to define what a limiting self-belief actually is.

What is a limiting self-belief?

A limiting belief is a belief about yourself that gets in your way. “I’m not good enough,” “I’m not important,” and ” I’m not worthwhile” are examples of this kind of belief. They lead to behaviors that go against your values and goals. You would like to become an author, but fear stops you. You would like to get in better shape, but you don’t see yourself as “that kind of person.” You would like to speak up at work more often, but something holds you back.

Self-beliefs are a kind of prison because there is little room for escape

If you believe dogs are dangerous, you can just keep away from dogs. If you think exercise is boring, you can find something more interesting to do. If you think you are deeply flawed as a person, then you can’t escape. This flawed person will go with you wherever you go.

How do you remove limiting self-beliefs?

One way is to use the Lefkoe Belief process. There are six steps. Here they are below.

  1. Identify a belief.
  2. Find the events that led to the belief.
  3. Come up with alternative interpretations.
  4. Realize you didn’t “see” the belief.
  5. Notice the events have no inherent meaning.
  6. Test to see if the belief is still here.

You can get more details on all the steps by reading this post https://www.mortylefkoe.com/020210/ and this one https://www.mortylefkoe.com/020910/

Or you can get very specific guidance into eliminating one of your own beliefs by going to our free belief-elimination videos found here: www.recreateyourlife.com/free

Finally, we offer training once a year in which we show you exactly how to use this process. You can find out more at www.mortylefkoe.com/lmt1 and join the waiting list there as well. In fact, registration for the next class will start in January 2023. To join, you must be on the waiting list.

To sum up, limiting self-beliefs seem to damage us but can be changed

This kind of belief is a belief we hold about ourselves which gets in our way. They are especially limiting because we cannot escape them. We carry our “self” with us wherever we go. You can get rid of them using the six steps of the Lefkoe Method.

Remember that just as a dead coral reef may appear to be permanently destroyed, the right sounds can bring it back to life. So too, can you and others regain any power you have lost by forming limiting beliefs. All it takes is the right approach.


Book: Eliminate the Beliefs That Sabotage Your Business and Your Life

Finding the beliefs in our way is hard. We might identify a specific issue like procrastination but struggle to figure out what we believe causes it. Imagine if there were a systematic approach to finding your beliefs so you can change your behavior for good.  You’d finally make changes and make the last.

Well, you don’t have to imagine it. We’ve created it.

In our book “Hitting The Wall” we put in each step of the Lefkoe Method of personal change. You’ll set a goal, define the issues in the way and systematically identify and eliminate the beliefs in your way.

No more struggle to change and maintain the change. You’ll find yourself changing for good.

Here’s what one reader said after he finished the book.

Hitting the Wall is just what I did, and the work in this book helped me to walk through the door of what was stopping me. It was the most effective transformational work I have even done on the deeper me. I didn't know it was possible to let go of the crazy stuff that always rambled in my head and caused me to pause and even step back from everything I wanted. I found out why and, more than that, I got to experience freedom I had never known brefore. I am now well on my way to what I now dare to dream! What a gift, and I am forevr grateful.
