[00:00:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Hi and welcome back to Morning Glory.

[00:00:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Today I will be talking about how you can stop limiting self beliefs and improve your self

[00:00:39] [SPEAKER_01]: concept.

[00:00:41] [SPEAKER_01]: First, let's start by breaking down what a limiting self belief and self concept really

[00:00:45] [SPEAKER_01]: are.

[00:00:46] [SPEAKER_01]: A limiting self belief is an unfavorable perception of yourself that holds you back in some

[00:00:51] [SPEAKER_01]: way.

[00:00:51] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like that annoying inner voice that tries to tell you what you can't do.

[00:00:55] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a negative perception you hold about yourself that puts unnecessary restrictions on your

[00:01:00] [SPEAKER_01]: potential.

[00:01:01] [SPEAKER_01]: These thoughts are often false, rooted in past experiences, fears or misconceptions, and

[00:01:07] [SPEAKER_01]: they can lead to negative outcomes in your life.

[00:01:11] [SPEAKER_01]: When you believe these lies, you restrict your potential and miss out on opportunities.

[00:01:16] [SPEAKER_01]: These limiting beliefs can become barriers to your growth, keeping you from living

[00:01:21] [SPEAKER_01]: the fulfilling and abundant life that God has planned for you.

[00:01:24] [SPEAKER_01]: On the other hand, your self concept is the overall view you have of yourself, including

[00:01:29] [SPEAKER_01]: your self image, self esteem and self worth.

[00:01:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Both of these play huge roles in how you navigate through life.

[00:01:36] [SPEAKER_01]: They can either lift you up or hold you back.

[00:01:39] [SPEAKER_01]: These negative thoughts and beliefs are often deeply ingrained and significantly impact

[00:01:44] [SPEAKER_01]: our decisions and behavior.

[00:01:47] [SPEAKER_01]: They usually stem from our childhood, parents, fears, misconceptions or any traumatic

[00:01:53] [SPEAKER_01]: experiences that we may have had.

[00:01:55] [SPEAKER_01]: These thoughts and perceptions can prevent us from seeing our true worth, stop us from

[00:02:01] [SPEAKER_01]: pursuing opportunities or taking risks and prevent us from living our best lives.

[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Overcoming these limiting beliefs and improving your self concept is crucial for fulfilling

[00:02:13] [SPEAKER_01]: God's purpose for your life.

[00:02:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Here are some steps to break free.

[00:02:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Number one, pray and identify.

[00:02:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Ask God to reveal any limiting beliefs that are holding you back.

[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Write them down and acknowledge their presence in your life.

[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Psalm 139, 23 and 24 says,

[00:02:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Look through me, O God, and know my heart.

[00:02:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Try me and know my thoughts.

[00:02:36] [SPEAKER_01]: See if there is any sinful way in me and lead me in the way that lasts forever.

[00:02:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Number two, replace the bad with good.

[00:02:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Speak God's promises over your life.

[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_01]: For each limiting belief, find a corresponding scripture and meditate on it daily.

[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Romans 12 and 2 says,

[00:02:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

[00:03:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is, his good, pleasing and perfect will.

[00:03:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Declare scriptures that affirm your identity in Christ and his plans for you.

[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Jeremiah 29 and 11 says,

[00:03:17] [SPEAKER_01]: For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord.

[00:03:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Plans to prosper you and not to harm you.

[00:03:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Plans to give you hope and a future.

[00:03:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Number three, seek support and take action.

[00:03:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Be intentional.

[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Get positive and constructive feedback from people you trust.

[00:03:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Proverbs 27 and 17 says,

[00:03:39] [SPEAKER_01]: As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.

[00:03:43] [SPEAKER_01]: James 2 17 states,

[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_01]: In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

[00:03:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Consider counseling or therapy to address any deep-seated issues.

[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_01]: You can overcome any limiting beliefs and improve your self-concept.

[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Philippians 4 13 says,

[00:04:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

[00:04:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Conquering limiting self-beliefs and improving your self-concept

[00:04:10] [SPEAKER_01]: is vital for living the abundant life that God has planned for you.

[00:04:15] [SPEAKER_01]: It requires recognizing and replacing those negative thoughts with the truth of God's word,

[00:04:20] [SPEAKER_01]: surrounding yourself with positive influences, and taking intentional steps toward growth.

[00:04:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Remember with God's help, you can break free from anything that holds you back

[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_01]: and step into the fullness of your God-given potential.

[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's pray.

[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Dear Heavenly Father,

[00:04:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Help me to reveal any negative thoughts or beliefs

[00:04:37] [SPEAKER_01]: that may be holding me back from living up to my full potential.

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_01]: I trust in your plan and ask for the strength to take action and faith.

[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Surround me with positive influences and give me guidance and perseverance.

[00:04:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I thank you in advance. In Jesus' precious name, amen.
