As I watched one of Michael Mackintosh’s videos from the Inner Self Image program this morning, I was inspired to figure out what beliefs I have that are limiting me in different aspects of my life.

The best way I could think of to figure out my current  limiting beliefs was to look at all the areas of my life where I have less of something than I would like to have.

Areas of limitation:
(see if any of these are also true for you)

• money
• loving relationships
• places to hang out
• things I feel comfortable doing
• jobs available
• I’m sure there are more, but I can’t think of them right now

The more I study spiritual literature, the more I realize that each one of us is an infinite being and that our beliefs and attitudes are the only things that can place any sort of limitation in our experience.

So based on that, it seems that my current limiting beliefs are that there is only a limited amount of money available, that my relationships can only be so loving, that I have a limited number of places I can go to hang out, that there are only so many things I feel comfortable doing, and that there are only a limited number of jobs available, etc..

Today, while I do my Inner Self Image meditation, I plan to visit these belief systems and reaffirm that they are indeed only belief systems and not really true.

Your inner self image is the image that you hold in your mind (and your heart) about who you are. All of your beliefs, attitudes, actions, relationships, everything you’ve ever done and everything that has ever happened to you combines to make up your current inner self image. In short, it is who you perceive yourself to be.

What’s so important about your inner self image?

According to Michael Mackintosh, your inner self image is responsible for almost everything that happens in your life. Think of it like a blueprint of your life.

For instance, let’s take someone who is shy, who believes that social interactions are scary, that people are out to get him, that he is socially awkward, etc. All of these beliefs together form an inner self image which has a tremendous effect on how that person acts, what types of activities he does, how he feels, and ultimately what happens in his life.

This person is likely to develop social anxiety, to avoid social situations, avoid dealing with people as much as possible and eventually become depressed due to a lack of social support.

By the way, that person used to be me, and even though I’ve come a long way, I still feel that I have a lot of residual beliefs and attitudes about people and social situations that I would like to change.

The concept behind Michael Mackintosh’s Inner Self Image program is that anyone can change their inner self image and by doing so, drastically change their life.

The program is actually very simple, but Michael calls it one of his most powerful programs and says it is foundational for anyone who wants to make positive changes in their life.

I’ve just started doing the Inner Self Image program about 4 days ago, and judging from the results so far, I would have to agree that it is very powerful. I’ll be sharing some of my results and more about the program with you over the next few weeks, so stay tuned…
