Changing beliefs
In order to change an old belief
you need to develop a new one and then convince yourself
that the new belief is true. You can do this by
seeing the new belief in action either through other
people, or in yourself.
There are lots of ways to do this.
- You can read books and listen to
tapes by people who have the belief that you want to
have. This will re-enforce this new belief for you
so that it is real for you.
- You can also read biographies of
people who have a positive view on the new belief
that you want to have. This will help you understand
that anything is possible.
- Tell yourself over and over that
you can have whatever you want. and take action
in that new direction. The "taking action" part of
that is vital. You can talk yourself up as much as
you want but without taking the right action you
will stay where you don't want to be
- Do something to move your life
forward in the new direction you want to be moving.
At many points along the way, you may get in touch
with beliefs that stand in your way, work to create
new ones.
- Plan for success by creating a
life plan that includes success. Write it out.
- Do a treasure map with pictures
of what you want. See in your creative mind,
yourself having whatever you want. When doubts come
up, just acknowledge it and move forward. When you
think of what you are trying to create, keep telling
yourself, You can do it!
Find out what
it is about success that scares you about changing your
beliefs.
Your old beliefs may be serving you well if you are
afraid of the responsibility that comes with your
successful shift to the new belief. Or, you may be
afraid of losing your connection to your peer group or
your family if you move your life forward
It is important to get rid of the critic in your head. A
lot of your negative self-talk will be coming from some
mythical critic you have created or learned. The fact
is, you can tell yourself whatever you want. Your
subconscious mind, which creates your life, will believe
whatever you tell it. So tell yourself that you are
wonderful, delightful, talented, creative, able,
deserving, lovable, worthy, etc. If the critic
interrupts, acknowledge it and go back to the positive
self-talk. Make positive self-talk your daily habit. And
then .... yes, you know what I am going to say ....
follow it up with some positive action in that direction
If you aren't happy with your life the way it is now,
you owe it to yourself to do something about it in
order for it to change. Waiting for it to change is not
the answer. Once you identify the core negative beliefs
that are stopping you from having the life you want, you
can start to understand the emotions that you are acting
out through your life as it s at the moment. Your
emotions are the result of your beliefs.
Keep in mind that this whole thing is a process and you
have to be really motivated to have a different kind of
life in order to get out of your old rut. It is so much
easier to keep on doing whatever it is you have been
doing than to step out of your comfort zone and propel
yourself forward.
No matter what your life is like now and how you are
living it, you have the ability to change and create
whatever you want. Take a chance and do something
different this week. You'll love the pay off
