Reframing the Narrative: Trading Self-Limiting Beliefs for Self-Trust

We all have those quiet, creeping thoughts that tell us we’re not doing enough, not making enough, not giving enough. But what if those thoughts aren’t truth ....just echoes of fear? This month, I decided to challenge them head-on.

Here are five self-limiting beliefs I’ve struggled with ...and the ways I’m actively rewriting the narrative:

1. “I am not enough.”

This belief used to sit heavy in my chest. But I’m learning that worth isn’t measured by perfection or productivity.

My reframe: Practice self-compassion daily. Acknowledge your strengths and accomplishments ....no matter how small.

2. “I don’t do enough.”

It’s easy to feel like you’re falling short when you’re measuring yourself by impossible standards.

My reframe: Set realistic goals for yourself and celebrate small victories along the way.

3. “I don’t make enough.”

This one hits hard when you’re navigating chronic illness, disability, or financial struggle.

My reframe: Practice gratitude daily to focus on what I have, not what I lack.

4. “I don’t have enough.”

Scarcity mentality can sneak in and steal peace ...even when your needs are met.

My reframe: Educate yourself about personal finance to feel empowered and in control. Celebrate every proactive step forward, no matter how small.

5. “I don’t give enough.”

Sometimes we think giving has to be grand or public. But giving can be quiet too.

My reframe: Reflect and seek out ways to contribute to others ... through kindness, volunteering, mission trips, serving, or simply being there spiritually, emotionally, or mentally.

We don’t silence limiting beliefs by yelling over them ....we disarm them by speaking truth gently and consistently, until they lose their power.
