Step 1: Identify Your Limiting Beliefs Start by brainstorming and writing down any limiting beliefs you may have about yourself, your capabilities, your worth, etc. These are usually the thoughts that tell you what you "can't" do. Let the thoughts flow, and don't judge anything that comes up - just write it down.

Example: I'm not creative enough to be a successful artist.

Step 2: Reflect and Analyze Consider why you hold these beliefs. Where did they come from? Are they based on past experiences or something you were told? Write down your thoughts.

Example: In high school, my art teacher told me I wasn't talented.

Step 3: Challenge Your Beliefs Question the validity of these beliefs. Are they fact or opinion? How would you react if someone else told you they held this belief about themselves? Write down any evidence you have that contradicts these beliefs.

Example: But I've created pieces of art that I’m really proud of and people have complimented my unique style.

Step 4: Transform Your Beliefs Now, take each limiting belief and transform it into an empowering affirmation. This new statement should be positive and written in the present tense, reflecting the person you aspire to be.

Example: I am a creative and unique artist with my own style.

Step 5: Repeat Your Affirmations Write down these affirmations somewhere you'll see them every day. Repeat them to yourself often. You might feel a bit silly at first, but repetition is key in shifting your mindset.

Remember, journaling is a journey - it's not about getting it "right." It's about uncovering, understanding, and shifting your beliefs. Be gentle with yourself throughout this process and remember that change takes time. Happy journaling!
