Hello, American podcast listeners. Max Roshton here from The Guardian Football Weekly, which I think you should give a listen. It is good. It comes out 3 times a week, and the podcast delivers you analysis, news, both the good and the bad from the beautiful game, and maybe even the occasional laugh. He's angry about everything.

He doesn't have a great poker face, does he? I would like to play cards with Bruno Fernandes.

You can listen to The Guardian Football Weekly wherever you get your podcasts. Hopefully see you soon.

I hope that everyone is good. My name is Mart Tweedy, I'm your host, and just before we get cracking with this week's episode, I just wanted to say that I'd been putting something off for so, so long within my academy. I had a bit of an idea one day when I was meditating earlier this year that when someone was in my membership, they could access all the subliminals that I'd ever recorded, all the meditations and the visualizations that I'd ever recorded, that they could access an area with EFT tapping scripts, journal prompts, all past live calls, sound healing sessions, you know, all of the above. And you know what I did? I put it to the bottom of me list. Why, I hear you ask? Because I thought it was gonna be such a hard job. So last week in me academy, I told all me members that something was coming, and I thought, I'm just gonna say that it's coming in January. And the reason that I did this is because then I thought it'll put pressure on myself and a bit of accountability to actually get shit done and to work on getting a kind of resource library built. So I put that idea out to my members on, I think it was Thursday last week. And then on Thursday and Friday, I had a little bit of spare time and guess what? I kind of realised that that thing holding me back the most was my limiting beliefs. You know, you'll never be able to do that, or it's too big of a task, Oh, nobody even wants that kind of thing. And guess what? By pushing that limiting belief to one side, I got the resource library up running with over 100 resources all within 48 hours. I actually launched it on Saturday morning to me members of Manifest with Mart on the Canny Crystals Academy. And I can see people have actually already been utilizing it a lot more than I thought people would. So just a bit of a quick shameless plug here really, but if you head to cannycrystalsacademy.co.uk, you click on Manifest with Mart from the courses, you can get all of those resources of subliminals, meditations, EFT scripts, journal prompts, downloadable workbooks, and so much more for just £10 a month. And you can cancel it anytime as well. I don't hold anyone in contract, so whenever you want to quit, you just head to your billing section on your login, you click cancel subscription. So come and join us. It is limited to 200 people because I really want to be able to give focus to people without people thinking that there's just too many people in there to actually communicate with. And it's such a lush little community as well. Like, we always help each other out with things. We're always spurring each other on with the weekly challenges and in the chat room as well. Anyway, enough about that. The reason that I mention all of this is that Asharp realised that I'd put off building that resources section because of my limiting beliefs. So I thought, let's get into the nitty-gritty of limiting beliefs again and unpick why we sometimes think like this about ourselves. So simply put, limiting beliefs are just thoughts or ideas that sit quietly in the back of our minds, and they might tell us stories like, "I'm not good enough for that," or, "I don't deserve this," or, "That's too good to be true." And these beliefs, they aren't loud or obvious most of the time, but they are incredibly powerful sat in the back of our minds, okay? If you think of us as like meat puppets, basically, they are like the little invisible strings that are quietly controlling how we feel, the choices that we make, and ultimately what we attract into our lives. So why do they matter? Well, because they are shaping our reality every single day. Limiting beliefs, they act like filters that color the way that we see the world. So let's say you're trying to manifest, let's say, a loving relationship, but deep down there's a tiny voice that's telling you, I'm just not lovable. So without even realizing it, that belief is affecting your vibe, it's affecting the energy that you put out, and probably even the kind of people that you attract. So it's like trying to a marathon with a bit of a weight that's tied to each ankle? It's possible, but you're making it so much harder for yourself. And here's the thing, okay, we all have limiting beliefs, every single one of us, because these beliefs often come from early experiences or things that we've been told or even moments when we felt small or hurt. So thinking back, like, maybe a teacher once told you that you'd never be smart enough, or a family member might have suggested that money doesn't grow on trees. Those are two things that I can instantly think of from my childhood, okay? Those little moments stick and then they settle in and then they shape our beliefs about who we are and what we can have in life. But the exciting part is that once we identify these limiting beliefs, we can start changing them. So imagine like realizing that all those times that you held back, all those times you thought, "I can't do that," it wasn't actually true. You were just seeing things through the lens of these limiting beliefs. So when we see them for what they truly are, they lose all their power. And that is where the real magic begins, because as soon as you start challenging those beliefs, you can then open the door to unlimited potential. You can begin attracting experiences, opportunities, relationships that you'd only ever dreamed about before. So we are going to bring these sneaky little beliefs into the light, basically. Okay, so it's time for us to get curious and ask ourselves, what have I been holding as true that might actually just be a story? What beliefs have I let shape my life that I'm now ready to release? Because trust me, the minute that we shed those limits, a whole new world of possibility will open up. And doesn't that sound like something worth working for? Okay, so I'll give you those two little, um, journal prompts again in case you want to write them down. What have I been holding as true that might actually just be a story? And what beliefs have I let shape me life that I am now ready to release? Okay, so we're going to dive a little deeper into this because now that we know what limiting beliefs are, I want to talk about the ways that they sneak into our lives without us even realizing. Because the truth is, these beliefs love to wear disguises. They don't just walk in and announce themselves. Instead, they'll show up as kind of, you know, logical reasons or excuses that feel true, but are really just barriers. So here are some of the biggest signs that you are holding yourself back. And trust me, we have all been there. So first up on my list is procrastination. Now, this is something that even though I work on all the time, it still affects me on a day-to-day basis, okay? It's that good old habit of putting things off. So we often think procrastination is just about being lazy or disorganized, but it's usually much deeper than that. It's often a sign that a part of us is scared of moving forward, or what success might mean, or of failing. Do you know what I mean? So if you keep putting off a big goal, or even small tasks that are just steps towards that big goal, there's likely a belief underneath saying, "I'm not ready for this," or, "I won't be able to handle this." Now, second on my list is self-doubt, which is that persistent little voice that tells you that you're not qualified enough, you're not experienced enough, or you're just too plain to go after what you really want. Self-doubt tends to pop up at that exact moment that you start stepping out of your comfort zone. It's almost like it's a warning signal from your brain saying, you know, hey, this is new, are we sure about this? And believe me, that is totally natural. But if you let it lead the way, you end up talking yourself out of amazing opportunities. Now, the third thing on me list is perfectionism. So this one is quite sneaky because it can feel like we're just setting ourselves high standards. But the thing is, with perfectionism, it can be a way of holding yourself back because If you're always waiting for things to be perfect before you make that move, you'll never actually get started. So perfectionism often hides a belief that you have to be perfect to be worthy of success, and that's a heavy burden to carry. And then fourth on my list is fear of failure, or even fear of success. And yes, that is a real thing. Like, the idea of actually achieving what we want, that can feel intimidating sometimes. That fear of success, it often comes from beliefs like, you know, "If I succeed, people will expect more from me," or "Success might change me and I might lose something in the process." That fear of failure, on the other hand, is usually tied to the belief that mistakes define you rather than teach you. Okay, and then last on my list and fifth is self-sabotage. Now, this one shows up as behaviors that seem to go against what you want. So maybe you've decided to save money, but you keep impulse buying. You know, things that you just don't need, or you're aiming to focus on a project but you keep on saying yes to distractions. So that self-sabotage usually comes from a deep-rooted belief that you don't actually deserve the thing that you're going after, so you end up just subconsciously working against it. So when you start spotting one of those 5 patterns, it's like getting a real sneak peek into the thoughts that are running the show behind the scenes in your head. So it's not about beating yourself up for these behaviors, it's more about, you know, seeing them as clues. Every time you catch yourself procrastinating or doubting or perfecting or sabotaging, just ask yourself, what am I actually afraid of here? What belief might be hiding underneath all this? Because recognizing those patterns is a huge step in taking back that control. Because when you see them for what they really are, you can then start making new choices. So imagine kind of turning that procrastination into action or that self-doubt into self-belief or letting go of the need for perfection. Because honestly, you will be amazed at how much progress you can make when you stop holding yourself back. And I promise you, your goals are closer than you think once you start shifting these patterns. All right, so something else that I want to talk about is one of the biggest mindset shifts in manifestation, which is the idea of manifesting £1 million being no harder than manifesting just £1. Now that sounds quite wild, and especially when I first heard this, I thought, what? Surely it's got to be so much harder to manifest a million pound than it is to manifest £1, or if you're American, dollar, whatever. But here's the secret, okay? The universe doesn't see any difference between the two. All it comes down to is us with our human minds who add in all of this weight. We add all these layers of meaning, we add all these limiting beliefs around us around bigger manifestations. So we might decide that some things are just too big or too hard or too unlikely, when in reality The process of manifestation is actually the same whether it's big or small. So why does a million pounds feel so much harder to manifest than just a pound on its own? So it's because our minds kick in with all the limiting beliefs and doubts about what is possible. So we might start thinking things like, you know, people like me don't make that kind of money, or I'd have to work way harder for that kind of money. And we add in all these conditions and obstacles in our heads, and we tell ourselves that it's only possible if we hustle, if we struggle, or or if we get super lucky, we might win the lottery. Yeah? So meanwhile, manifesting £1 feels quite easy because there's no resistance there. We believe that it's possible, so we let it flow. So put simply, it's kind of like our minds getting in our own way. So instead of believing that the process is the same, which it is, we then start attaching conditions and blocks to bigger goals. So it's like putting a million different hurdles in front of ourselves and then wondering why the big manifestations feel so out of reach. So we can start by shifting that. So we have to remove the labels. So I want you to stop seeing that one thing as big and another thing as small. I want you to start thinking of your manifestations in terms of energetic frequency rather than the quantity or the size of it, okay? So if you can get yourself into the same open, relaxed, trusting mindset that you would have when manifesting a pound, then that million will flow into your life just as easily. I hope that makes sense, because when it comes down to it, it's all about your belief in what is possible. It's the mindset, it's the feeling of deserving and allowing that makes the difference. Now, another way to break that down is by practicing with something in the middle. So a figure or a goal that feels, you know, a little stretchy but not too intimidating. So for this purpose, I'm going to say £100 or maybe even £1,000. Okay, so spend time really tuning into that feeling of receiving that amount. Without any pressure or attachment. Because when you start seeing those results, you'll almost feel the shift in your belief system. And the more that you prove to yourself that manifestation works without the barriers, the easier it's going to be to expand into bigger desires. The universe isn't judging your goals, or it's not deciding what's too big for you, so to speak, okay? It's ready to provide whatever you're in alignment with. That means whatever you truly believe you deserve and are open to receiving. Okay, so the question isn't whether you can manifest a million pound, but rather can you let yourself manifest it? It's time to get out of your own way. Let go of those limiting beliefs, okay? Allow that abundance in, because the only real difference between one pound and one million pound is the belief that we attach to it. So we need to start thinking bigger. And this is something that I'm taking my own advice in, because obviously, I mean, some of you might be listening right now and thinking, but Mark, you don't have a million pound in your bank. And no, I don't. Nowhere near, in fact. But I am working on my limiting beliefs, okay? And I will get there one day, and I truly believe that I will get there one day. And believe me, when I do, you'll be the first people to hear about it, obviously. So now that we've tackled that idea that any manifestation is within reach, I want to dive into kind of the art of getting out of our own way, because we are often our own biggest obstacles. We build up these walls of doubt and fear and disbelief and then we wonder why we're not seeing results. So how do we kind of go about tearing down those walls? How do we go about releasing the mental blocks that stand in our way? So for me personally, awareness is key. So start by becoming hyper-aware of the thoughts and beliefs that pop up when you set an intention. So let's say you're trying to manifest a new job or a new level of income. Pay attention to that inner dialogue that follows. Like, do you instantly think, "I'm not qualified enough for that"? 'it'll take too long to make that much' because those thoughts are your limiting beliefs that are trying to sneak back in. So recognising these thoughts is the first step because once you see them, you can stop them in their tracks. You can also flip the script as well. So whenever a limiting belief for me pops up, I immediately counter it with a more empowering one. For example, the other day I caught myself thinking, 'I'm not ready for this,' so instead I shifted it to, 'I am capable,' and "I am growing more ready every single day." Now, that might feel a bit unnatural at first, 'cause it did when I first started doing it, but the more that you do it, the more you'll start to believe it. It's kind of like reprogramming your mind to that default, just to supportive thoughts rather than self-sabotaging ones. And then like I mentioned before, we need to let go of perfectionism, because this one is really tough, don't get us wrong, because we're often told that being perfect is something to strive for. Look at us on Instagram, we post perfect pictures, do you know? So it's almost like we are striving for perfection all the time, but in reality, that perfectionism can be the biggest dream killer. It makes us hesitant to take risks or afraid of making mistakes, constantly worried that we're not ready yet. But the truth is that no one is perfectly ready. The universe doesn't need you to be flawless, it just needs you to show up and be open. So embracing imperfection is a kind of way of telling the universe, I just trust that things will work out. 'Even if I don't have it all figured out right now.' And then something else that we can do is just to release that need for control, because this is a huge mental block for me. And, you know, many of us listening to this podcast episode right now, we will try to control every little detail from the how to the when of our manifestations. So we want to know how it's going to show up, we want to know when it's going to show up. They are the two biggest questions that we ask, okay? But the need for control is often rooted in fear. It's the fear that if we don't manage everything, it won't happen. But manifestation works best when we step back, when we allow the universe to just do its thing. Yes, we need to take that inspired action, but the universe will meet us halfway. It doesn't mean doing nothing, it just means taking that aligned action without actually micromanaging the outcome. So instead of stressing about every detail, just focus on staying open to different possibilities and just trust that the best outcome is already on its way to us. And then finally, I'd say that one of the most powerful tools in getting out of your own way— you know what I'm going to say here— it's daily affirmations, daily visualizations. And I know this sounds super simple, but these practices work because they help retrain your mind to see what's possible. So when you affirm something like, I am worthy of success, or I am open to receiving abundance, you're planting those seeds of belief that over time will grow into powerful convictions. And visualizing your desired outcome with excitement and gratitude that makes it feel real inside your brain, and that feeling is what attracts it into your life. So imagine it this way, like each mental block that you release is like taking off another weight that's been holding you down, and the more that you let go, the lighter and more magnetic you become. So you'll start to feel unstoppable, and you know that energy shifts everything. So I'm going to make a pact with you all right now to stop doubting, stop overthinking, stop putting obstacles in my way, You know, it's time to trust that the universe has our back, as Gabrielle Bernstein once said, because, you know, spoiler alert, it absolutely does. So we need to release, we need to realign, we need to get ready to receive. Okay, so now that we've identified and challenged those limiting beliefs, I want to talk about rewriting them. Okay, this is where the magic happens, when you start intentionally creating beliefs that actually serve you, that uplift you, and that align with the vision that you have for your life. So think of it like upgrading your mental software. So if you've been running on beliefs like, "I'm not enough," "Success is only for other people," it's time for a major update. So I just want you to start by choosing new beliefs that align with the goals that you're working towards. Like, if you want to manifest abundance, start affirming things like, "I am worthy of financial freedom," or "Money flows to me with ease." These new beliefs should feel empowering and true to the person that you're becoming. Now, one of the most powerful ways to solidify these beliefs is through consistent affirmation and repetition. So the more that you repeat your new beliefs, the more that they start to feel natural. So write them down, say them out loud, make them a part of your daily routine. The goal is to reach a point where these empowering beliefs feel as true to you as the old limiting ones did, okay? Because you're building a new foundation, and every time you affirm a positive belief, you're reinforcing that foundation. Another powerful tool is visualization. Like I said, it's giving your mind a sneak peek of what your life will look like with these new beliefs in place. So imagine yourself living in alignment with these beliefs. See yourself being confident. See yourself attracting abundance, you know, thriving in relationships. Because the more that you can feel these new beliefs as if they're already true, the more natural they will become. And don't forget to celebrate your progress along the way as well, because For every time that you catch an old belief and you replace it with a new empowering one, acknowledge yourself, because this isn't just a mental exercise. It's a transformation in how you view yourself and what you're capable of. And in the end, rewriting your belief system isn't just about choosing who you want to be. It's about stepping into a version of yourself that's no longer held back by the past. Someone who sees limitless potential in every moment and who deeply, truly knows that they are worthy of every beautiful thing that they desire. Okay, so now that we have started rewriting our belief system, I want us to go big. I want us to fully embrace an abundance mindset. So this shift is key to unlocking possibilities and allowing us to see opportunities instead of limitations, you know, inviting limitless potential into our lives. So it's all about training yourself to believe that the universe is a place of of plenty, not scarcity. So to cultivate that kind of mindset, we want to start with things like gratitude. Yes, gratitude is truly the foundation of abundance. I bang on about it all the time. I've got 31 Days of Gratitude on my Canny Crystals Academy. I talk about gratitude every day. I do gratitude every day. I live, eat, sleep, and breathe it, basically. When we focus on what we already have and we feel deeply thankful for we send a powerful message to the universe that says, "I'm open to more of this." So just start your day by listing a few things that you're grateful for, whether it's the roof over your head, the people in your life, or even just small wins that made you smile. That practice shifts your focus from lack to abundance, and that's going to help you recognize the richness that is already present in your life. And something that I often find myself doing is seeing opportunities where other people might see obstacles. So having that abundance mindset kind of allows us to view challenges as chances to grow or pivot in new directions. So instead of feeling stuck when something doesn't go as planned, just ask yourself like, how is this situation working for me? Or what new door is opening here? Because that shift is transformative because it moves you from a place of powerlessness to a one of possibility. You'll start and see every experience as part of your journey that's going to lead you closer to your desires. You know, abundance is kind of a state of being. It's not just about money or material wealth. It's about feeling rich in love, creativity, connections, experiences, growth. So when you cultivate that feeling of abundance in all areas, you just naturally attract more of it. So the more you cultivate it, the more natural it'll become. You'll start to see evidence of abundance everywhere, like in opportunities, in the people you attract, in synchronicities, you know, angel numbers, that kind of thing. And before you know it, you'll be living in a state of endless possibilities. Okay, and then the last thing on my list here— I'm just reading through my notes to make sure I've covered everything— is— what is it? Oh yeah, it's letting go of the how. Okay, so this might be the hardest part of manifesting, but it's also where the magic kind of happens. So we get so caught up in how our dreams should unfold that we actually block ourselves from receiving it. Okay, so we might say, I want to manifest financial abundance, but then we might get stuck thinking that it has to come through a certain job, a certain person, or a certain opportunity, or in my case, a radio competition, or, you know, something off This Morning where they're running a competition to win a trip around the world and £250,000 cash. Whatever it is, the universe often has bigger, more creative plans. So letting go of the how means being open to all the ways that your dreams can actually manifest. So it's about trusting that the universe knows exactly how to bring you what you want. And that can be a huge limiting belief for us as well, because it's almost like us taking control again, okay? So when you release that control, you allow room for more unexpected miracles or synchronicities or doors to open that you didn't even know existed. So one way that we can practice this is by focusing on the feelings and essence of what you want. Rather than the specifics. So instead of saying, I want a promotion at my job to make more money, I want you to focus on the feeling of having that financial freedom. So it's almost like we're, we're feeling the emotion around that end product, okay? So you might want to focus on the feeling of financial freedom, security, joy, whatever it is. Hold on to that feeling and just let the universe handle the details. 'Cause when we anchor into the energy of our desires rather than that fixed path, we will then become receptive to receiving abundance in any form that it might take. So it's kind of like practicing that detachment. It doesn't mean giving up on your goals. It just means releasing the need to control every single step. So you could repeat an affirmation such as, um, "I trust the universe has the perfect plan for me," or "I am open to receiving my desires in ways that are best for my highest good." because that will help you stay aligned with your goals without getting bogged down in trying to predict every step of the journey. Okay, living beyond your limits means trusting the process and believing that you are always being guided, even if you can't see it in the moment. It's just about having that faith that your dreams are already unfolding in the background. All you need to do is stay open, stay grateful, and take that inspired action when the time feels right. Okay, so we've explored limiting beliefs, we've recognized patterns of self-sabotage, we've tapped into abundance, we've even released control of the how. Now I just want to quickly leave you with a question, okay? And this question is, what are you ready to let go of today? What are you ready to let go of today? I want you to take a deep breath and really feel into that question. Just ask yourself, what's one belief 'One fear, one habit that I am ready to release.' So maybe it's the belief that you have to struggle to be successful, or the habit of doubting your own worthiness. Whatever comes up, just know that you don't have to carry that around any longer. If you choose to let it go, you're making space for something new, something better, for the life that you've always dreamed of. It could help to symbolically release it as well, so you might want to write it down on a piece of paper If you feel called to, you might want to tear it up, you might want to safely burn it. Just watch it disappear as a powerful signal to the universe that you are done with that old story. You're done with that old limiting belief. You can simply say out loud, "I release this belief. I'm ready for something new." That small ritual can be incredibly freeing. It's a way of closing one chapter and opening another, stepping into a version of yourself that no longer lets limiting beliefs hold them back. Okay, so moving forward and going on from this episode, just carry that energy of unlimited potential. Just remind yourself that you're not defined by your past or by things that other people have told you. You are the creator of your reality. You have everything within you to manifest your dreams, and it all begins with believing that you are worthy and that you are capable of receiving every beautiful thing that you desire. So as you go about the rest of your day today, I just want you to think about what you're stepping into. Okay, so picture yourself embodying your new empowering beliefs, you know, free from self-imposed limitations. Imagine yourself walking through life with ease, with a bit of confidence and a deep trust in the process as well. Keep your heart and your mind open to the possibilities that are on their way to you, because they are coming. All you have to do is stay open to receive. Okay, so that's it for today's episode. I hope that this has inspired you to take a fresh look at your own limiting beliefs and start letting go of anything that's holding you back.

There'll be lots of guided meditations and mindfulness exercises in there as well. Then I'm also recording a Tarot for Beginners workshop at the minute as well. This one is obviously huge because I'm having to go into so much detail with every bloody card, but I am hoping that, you know, that that one will be beneficial to the majority of you as well. And then last but not least, there will also be a Manifestation Mindset course, which will be looking at more advanced manifestation tools and techniques such as rituals and the likes of that, okay?

Wayfair. Every style, every home. Acast powers the world's best podcasts. Here's a show that we recommend.

Hello, American podcast listeners. Max Rushton here from The Guardian Football Weekly, which I think you should give a listen. It is good. It comes out 3 times a week, and the podcast delivers you analysis, news, both the good and the bad from the beautiful game, and maybe even the occasional laugh. He's angry about everything.

He doesn't have a great poker face, does he? I would like to play cards with Bruno Fernandes.

You can listen to The Guardian Football Weekly wherever you get your podcasts. Hopefully see you soon.
