Breaking Free of Limiting Beliefs to Empower Women in Their Fitness Journey

As a personal trainer , I know firsthand how limiting beliefs can hold women back from achieving their goals. Negative self-talk like "I'm not good enough" or "I don't deserve success" can be common barriers. I can absolutely relate, “ I’m not good enough “ can get in your head and take you down to some dark days. My husband (now ex husband) was having an affair for half of our marriage. Literally took me by complete surprise. Before you question how I didn’t catch on trust me when I say, he was a great liar, plus in his line of work they are gone for several days at a time. Anyways my point with all that was “I’m not good enough “ played over and over in my head.

But understanding that we have the power to change these thoughts is the first step.

Did you know that our brains produce 50,000 thoughts per day, with 95% of them being repeated? That's why it's so important to identify and challenge negative beliefs. I've found that by following the steps below, I've been able to overcome my limiting beliefs and achieve my fitness goals:

Acknowledge the belief and face it head-on without avoidance.

Challenge the belief by questioning it and seeking evidence.

Understand why the belief exists and what would need to change.

Counterbalance the belief with positive alternatives.

Reinforce positive beliefs through daily affirmations.

Shift towards a more positive perspective by changing your worldview.

Establish a new, empowering belief system by replacing limiting beliefs.

Take small, purposeful actions to implement new beliefs.

Share your journey and seek support from others who understand.

Take over fear and pessimism with a structured action plan.

I want all women to know that limiting beliefs are just thoughts and they don't have to control you. With some effort and determination, you can overcome these barriers and achieve the freedom to live the life you desire.

Let's break through these limitations together on our fitness journey and in every day life.
