What’s more, they can be detrimental to our mental and physical health. Writer Ally Sinyard digs into her own and finds out how to overcome them.
“I’m not good enough.” “I must look a certain way to be loved.” “Eating ‘clean’ and being fit means I’m valued more.”
These are all examples of limiting beliefs. If you’ve never heard of the phrase before, don’t worry, I hadn’t either.
