Ah, the trio of limiting beliefs that can stop you in your tracks. They can wreak havoc on us at one time or another. One day you’re fine and the next day these insidious thoughts decide to sneak inside your brain, pull up a chair and have a party. And, they weren’t even invited!
They can ruin your day, add more stress and anxiety (as if you don’t have enough already), cause you to question what you are doing and why and they basically rain on your parade. They ignore the “No Trespassing” signs and trash your mental property. So how do you evict them from your mind?
You need to call in the L.B.B. – Limiting Belief Busters; Belief, Faith and Trust. You issue a warrant for their arrest and throw them in jail. Otherwise, you will be the one imprisoned as they run rampant in your domain with no way of catching them. The reality is, you allowed them to sneak in because you let the watch guard take a vacation.
Doubts, worries and fears have no more power than what you give them. And you feed them by acknowledging them, listening to them and letting them take over without putting up a fight. You own your mind and when something chooses to impinge on your happiness you have every right to knock it out.
These intruders don’t have a chance against belief, faith and trust. Invite them into your world and they will set you on the right path and protect you from sabotaging your peace of mind and harmony. It’s all about what you allow in.
When you are focused on the fear of something happening or not happening – you ignore Faith. When you worry that what you don’t want to happen will, you keep Trust on the outside looking in. And, when you doubt that you will ever have what you want, you kick Belief to the side of the curb.
Look, we all have doubts, fears and worries that knock on our door from time to time but it’s up to you whether you choose to entertain them or not. When you go to a buffet for dinner do you focus on what you don’t want to eat? Or, do you look at all the good things you can have?
It’s the same with your limiting thoughts and beliefs. If you focus on them, you will have a brain full of them causing you to be sick and tired. Instead fill your mind with faith, belief and trust that your divine source; call it God, your Higher Power or whatever, has your back and will provide you with exactly what you need.
If you choose to live in fear, have doubts and worry all the time there is no room for the goodness that is knocking at your door. So who are you inviting to your party?
Warmest wishes always…Love Susan

Dear Susan,

I thought I would never get over my husband of 15 years. I tried so hard and I couldn’t get out of my depression. After I read, “There Is Life After What’s-His-Name” I finally had the hope and strength to leave the past behind. And, I even could forgive him, thanks to your wise, wise words. You have a gift for writing and any time I can, I tell people about you. God bless your work and thank you for every word in your book.

ok, this is exactly what’s going on in my head. When I woke up and read this it was nice to know that this happens to other people. The final closure of my divorce I believe brought it on?

Suzan, I can’t thank you enough! I m just having a very bad day today, I have been crying since I woke up, I feel that I have been rowing and rowing and there is no shore in sight! But your words are just bringing some sense into my very tired brain and spirit. I don’t know how you do it!
Love to you.

Susan, you are 100% correct when a person entertains fear and doubt they will reap what they sow. Fear and doubt only allow the dark side of our mind to flourish, we need to focus on the bright light of our mind and soul. Fear and doubt can even destroy a marriage if we allow this in our minds.
We need to be 100% certain that any fear and doubt is real and not just internal thoughts we allow to grow and cause us to live our life in darkness of fear, doubt and worry.
