What is a Limiting Belief?

Sep 19, 2022

A limiting belief is something that your unconscious mind believes about yourself, other people, or the world. These beliefs hold you back from accomplishing your goals because you believe them, but guess what? They aren’t objectively true. That’s one of the hallmarks of a limiting belief.

Probably not; most people can learn to do basic math well and the majority can also learn to do higher-order math if they apply themselves.
