Limiting Beliefs

“Limiting beliefs are stories shaped by survival.”

I’m learning that my limiting beliefs aren’t just false narratives to override with my mind. They are responses; signals pointing to stories that have been held in my body, unfelt, unprocessed, and unhealed.

One of those stories has been the belief that I have a bad memory. But I’m beginning to see that my memory was never broken. It’s been intact all along, simply living beneath a dysregulated nervous system.

When I slow down enough to meet the sensations in my body (the places where memory shut down or learned to stay small) and when I resource myself with safety and support, something shifts. As regulation returns, so does access. My body remembers how it was designed to function.

What I’m discovering is that limiting beliefs don’t dissolve because I argue with them. They soften when the nervous system feels safe enough to release what it’s been holding. From that place, clarity and memory return naturally, gently, and in their own time.
