As adults, we often carry with us negative beliefs about ourselves that limit us. When a limiting belief is triggered and activated, you see the world through that negative filter and it changes your decision making, body language, and social interactions.
For example, when you are stuck in a negative self belief, you may avoid taking action on a project you have set your mind on, especially if it is a risk. You procrastinate and when you do work on the task ,it feels “half-assed. ”
It also affects how to interact with others. You may be more shy with your head down, poor eye contact, low voice, and body language that communicates uncertainty. This all sends messages to others that you are unsure of what you are talking about. You may even appear aloof, so others make the mistake that you are not interested in engaging with them.
