While scrolling through TikTok, I saw a video about limiting beliefs in manifestation – and it got me thinking. A limiting belief is a thought or assumption you have that holds you back from reaching your full potential or manifesting what you want. It’s usually a belief that something is impossible or out of your reach.
I’ve been on my manifestation journey for a while now. For the most part, I didn’t think I had any limiting beliefs. I’d come pretty far, right? I had made progress, and, for the most part, I felt confident to manifest what I wanted. I thought I was on the right track.
But something clicked, making me realize I had a sneaky limiting belief I hadn’t noticed before. When it comes to someone I’m romantically interested in, I usually don’t reach out first. There were two main reasons behind this. First, I felt like I didn’t need to push things—let the journey unfold naturally, right? And second, when I did reach out first in the past, it never ended with me getting a response. So, I stopped.
But then it hit me: I had a limiting belief.
I was holding myself back based on fear–fear from past experiences. I was letting these old situations dictate my present and future, even though those things no longer had power over me.
And I realized something big: I’m the creator of my reality. I choose how things go. I shouldn’t be letting this old belief control my experience now. I wanted to shift that.
We’ve learned that the key to manifesting is all about decision and mindset. If I decide something, that’s what’s going to happen, simple as that. I decided that, if I want someone to reach out to me first, then that’s exactly what will happen. No more second-guessing it or limiting myself.
There was one word I needed to get out of my vocabulary: impossible.
I’ve worked on reframing my thoughts and beliefs around what’s possible. I began to see that, if I decide something is going to happen, it’s already done. There’s no need to hold onto any beliefs that make me feel like something is out of my reach. If I believe that someone is going to reach out to me, then that’s my reality now.
Instead of thinking, “I don’t want to reach out to them first, but there’s no use in waiting for them to reach out to me,” I flipped it. I started saying, “I never have to reach out to them first because they always want to text me and are always finding reasons to talk to me.” This simple shift in thinking changed everything.
Limiting beliefs often come from past experiences or fears that have no place in the present moment. When it comes to manifestation, you actively create your own reality by choosing what you believe. So, why would I let the impossible hold me back when I could be opening up to infinite possibilities?
Removing “impossible” from my vocabulary allowed me to let go of old beliefs that no longer served me. It helped me recognize that the past doesn’t dictate my future. I get to decide what happens. If I choose to believe that someone will reach out to me first, that’s the reality I’m going to create.
Manifestation is about mindset and what you’re willing to accept as possible. When you stop telling yourself something is impossible, you open yourself up to more possibilities.
If you’ve got a belief that something is impossible, take a moment to reflect. What’s the story behind it? Is it rooted in past experiences, or is it just something you’ve convinced yourself of? The truth is, the only limits that exist are the ones you place on yourself. When you remove the word “impossible” from your vocabulary, you start to see how much more is possible.
If you’re manifesting something, let go of old stories. Let go of the fears. Let go of “impossible”. You are the creator of your reality, and you have the power to decide what’s possible for you. It’s all in your hands.
