The fabric of our Lives is interwoven with them: beliefs. Some are empowering, some limiting. They are essentially the frame of our perception and influence how we see and experience the world in very fundamental ways. We can see the results of their influence all around us, our Life circumstances and also in our version of Self. We better choose them wisely, to realise the Life we actually want to live successfully.
Your beliefs will appear to be true to you. Reference experiences that are corresponding with them may strengthen them. The damaging nature of the limiting ones can show when your perception excludes everything that does not validate them. They basically narrow your world view.
You can choose your beliefs.
It is a positively transformational foundation in Personal Growth when we know what kind of a Life we want to live and align our beliefs to successfully realise that Life.
For most of us who have been doing this work intensely for years, some Mentors for decades, there still are limiting beliefs to weed out and that is because we seem to continuously create them. That's also because with every new learning there's new information to be filtered through our beliefs. We can learn to consciously steer the process by Self-reflection and catching limitations in their forming and dissolving them right away, before they could cement themselves into any form of blindfold or dogmatic view.
The work really requires some more effort with those beliefs that have been with us since childhood and are not serving us to be and live as our best version.
When you realize how much you've been changing already in your Life, you probably can embrace the belief that it's absolutely possible to get to know yourself better and better every day and exercise your power of choice, becoming more and more conscious of these choices while simultaneously you learn to engage your Intuition with increasing efficiency, so that you harness the best of your conscious, subconscious and spiritual abilities - again, depending on what you choose to believe in from the available spectrum, or rather: expand your belief how broad your spectrum of existence really can be. Ever evolving, potentially.
As you reflect on your beliefs, see which ones represent that highest quality Life you are building. When it comes to limiting beliefs, you can spot them also by their higher emotional charge.
Which topics are those when you are more ready to go into an argument to defend your belief? Which topics usually cause you to feel negative emotions - often, in retrospect, out of proportion - towards those who have a different opinion?
If you feel doubtful or worried, even fearful of change, an action, an event, how deep can you dig down to find the underlying belief that causes that emotion?
Our primal needs generally play a role in how we form our beliefs, like the need for belonging, connection, safety, control, challenge and creativity, a sense of meaning.
A most often found core limiting belief is "I am not enough". Especially hypnotherapist Marisa Peer is a big advocate of that, she centers her work around this theme, and says that this is a root cause for most other beliefs that stem from that. Psychology describes it as the "I am not good enough" core belief, that we shall work on dissolving in order to free up our capacity to create, succeed, express authentically and more wholly embrace our Joy in Life.
When you invest energy, attention and intention into nourishing your belief that you are enough as you are – beyond any material or non-material goals, looking at this on a human existence level –, then you can find positive progress in all your Life areas as they are interconnected through you and what you believe in.
Test it, try it, experiment. We best base our beliefs not on hearsay or other people's experiences or opinions, no matter how influential, famous, impactful they are or seem to be, but on our very own experiences. That seems our authentic way of Self-actualizing. This is my belief. See if it resonates. If yes, integrate it, if not, create your own.
Enjoy the process!
If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning. Mahatma Gandhi
