Remind yourself
For really stubborn beliefs try making up a card with empowering alternatives. Write the beliefs in the same style as you would write an affirmation: present tense and focusing on the positive things that you are moving towards. Put the card in your wallet and read it whenever you can, especially when the belief is holding you back. You may want to take this idea further and put a card on the fridge, the computer monitor, in your car, next to your bed… anywhere you have a blank space.
I once had a friend who always kept his affirmations on a card in his shirt pocket. After repeatedly getting them mangled and put through the wash, he decided to get them laminated!
