3. Self Limiting Beliefs
If I expose ‘the real me’ I might lose control.
Others seem better able to tackle difficult situations than I can.
No one asks for my advice
I am not capable of completing a task within a designated time frame
This is the way I am - I cannot change
I have to be better than others
I’m a boring person
If I delegate i’ll lose control
If you want something done, do it yourself
Others might judge me unfavourably if I show my true feelings
If I change, people around me will become upset
I must have approval from all the significant people in my life

4. Beliefs of Excellence
Each person is unique/ the map is not the territory
Everyone makes the best choice available to them at the time they make it
There is no failure only feedback/there is only learning
Behind every behaviour is an unconscious positive intention
The meaning of the communication is the effect
There is a solution to every problem
We have within us all the resources we ever need
The person with the most flexibility in thinking and behaviour has the greatest
influence
Mind and body are part of the same system
Knowledge, thought, memory and imagination are the result of sequences
and combination of ways of filtering and storing information.
What we recognise in others mirrors the structures we hold within ourselves
If someone can do it - anyone can do it.
