Your beliefs affect who you are. One of the most common energy blocks is having a limiting belief about your value, potential, skills, etc. Bruce Schneider, in his book Energy Leadership says: “More often than not, you accept a limiting belief as true because you’ve learned it from someone else, from something that happened to you, or from another “authority”, such as media, a book, or a movie.” (136)

“I don’t deserve….” is a very popular limiting belief.

Do the following phrases ever cross you mind?

My daughter’s piano lesson is more important than me getting a new suite
My son’s college tuition is a priority over me going on a vacation
She is so smart…I wish I would be like her
I will never have the money they have… we shouldn’t spend so much

Although it looks like some of those are just facts, in each one of them there is a limiting belief of “I don’t deserve…”

One of my passions is to help people identify and release their limiting beliefs. It changes their energy completely. There are different ways of releasing a limiting belief. One of them is by using an affirmation.

What are some things you feel like you don’t deserve? In addition to using the affirmation above, fill in the blank to counter the limiting beliefs you have uncovered:

I deserve ______, ________ and _______.

Here are some ideas:

• I deserve abundance, prosperity and wealth.
• I deserve love, compassion and forgiveness.
• I deserve you.
• I deserve health, strength and healing.

Would love to hear from you. What is it that you deserve?
