Let’s be real. Juggling our responsibilities as mums and mumpreneurs can be tough. Sometimes, we unconsciously hold ourselves back with limiting beliefs that undermine our confidence and prevent us from achieving our goals. In our last blog post, we shared ways in which you could identify and challenge your limiting beliefs. But in this blog post, we’re going a little further and sharing with you a three-step method that will ensure you transform your mindset, overcome self-imposed barriers and change those limiting beliefs, permanently.

Step 1: Change Your State

The first step in changing your limiting beliefs is to change your physiological state. As busy mums and mumpreneurs, we know that our emotional state and our body are closely connected. By getting active, we can shift our mindset and create a more empowering emotional state. There are a few ways in which you can do this:

Exercise: Whether it's a quick walk around the block or a dance party with your little ones, engaging in physical activities that you enjoy will not only improve your wellbeing but also release endorphins that boost your mood and energy levels.

Breathing exercises: During a hectic day, practice deep, diaphragmatic breathing to reduce stress, lower your heart rate, and calm your mind. Just a few minutes can make a difference. There are many guided sessions available for free on the internet.

Posture: Even when you're feeling overwhelmed, adopting a confident, powerful posture can instantly change your emotional state. Stand tall, push your shoulders back, and project confidence and positivity. It’s similar to the concept of “fake it until you make it”. Hold a confident body posture and you will find yourself feeling it.

Step 2: Rewrite Your Story

Once you've changed your state, it's time to rewrite the story you tell yourself. This step involves creating new beliefs with intention and conviction. By replacing your limiting beliefs with empowering ones, you can reshape your self-image and unlock your potential as a mum and mumpreneur.

To rewrite your story, follow these tips:

Identify your limiting beliefs: Recognise the beliefs that hold you back, such as "I can't have a successful business and be a good mum," and understand how they impact your life.

Create new, empowering beliefs: Develop positive statements that counteract your limiting beliefs. For example, replace "I don't have enough time" with "I can prioritise and manage my time effectively."

Reinforce your new beliefs: Repeat your empowering beliefs daily, visualising yourself living in alignment with them. The more you affirm these new beliefs, the stronger they will become.

Step 3: Adopt a New Strategy

The final step in changing your limiting beliefs is to adopt a new strategy for achieving your goals. Many people try to change their strategies without addressing their state or story, resulting in short-lived changes. By addressing your state and story first, you create a solid foundation for lasting transformation.

Here's how to adopt a new strategy:

Set clear goals: Define your objectives as a mum and mumpreneur and create a roadmap for achieving them. Break your goals down into smaller, manageable steps, and celebrate your progress.

Learn from others: Connect with fellow mums and mumpreneurs who have successfully overcome similar challenges. They can provide valuable insights, support, and camaraderie along your journey.

Embrace a growth mindset: View setbacks as opportunities to learn and grow, rather than as failures. This mindset will help you stay resilient and persistent in the face of obstacles.

Changing your limiting beliefs permanently is possible by following this three-step method. By altering your state, rewriting your story, and adopting a new strategy, you can overcome self-imposed barriers and achieve your goals as a mum and mumpreneur. Remember, the journey of personal transformation is ongoing, and with determination, self-awareness, and the right tools, you can create lasting, positive change in your life.
