Talking with others is a great way to identify limiting beliefs, too. I insist that, "The universe loves me and wants me to be happy." My husband felt that was misguided at best, since his perception was that the universe promised you things, only to cruelly snatch them away just before you reached them. Then there are empowering beliefs he had, that conflicted with my feelings of reality, which I didn't know I had until faced with his.
