Some people cope with their negative, limiting beliefs by ignoring them, pretending they do not exist. Unfortunately, this action alone is not sufficient
to prevent the impact they can have on our behaviour. Once a limiting belief is brought to the surface and identified, we can take responsibility for
choosing to change it, if we so wish. All around us every day are life experiences, information we absorb into our subconscious. If we take these
experiences in negatively, then the person that suffers most is ourselves. If we recognise the opportunity to interpret events in a more positive way, then we
empower ourselves to move forward.
The way we train our mind to react is important. Rather than constantly criticising ourselves with our inner voice, we can construct our inner questions to be
more positive, for example :-
“How well did I do that?”
“Could I do it better?”
“How could I do it better?”
By asking ourselves these questions, we can digest information in a positive way into our subconscious, where it will remain until we need to apply it.
Such positive information will reinforce other positive beliefs already there. Learning to accept responsibility for our perceptions of the world and
understanding that our limits are self imposed by our attitude of thought is invaluable to our development and growth.
The Power of Beliefs
Once you have identified your beliefs, changed those that are limiting you, by resolving any that conflict with your innermost desires and embraced fully
those that serve you best, you will be in a position to literally take control of, and change your life for the better.
How beliefs affect our thought processes
When we examine what effect beliefs actually have upon our thoughts, we can see that there is a domino effect in place here. The first domino in the
chain is your beliefs. The beliefs you have, help reinforce or discard your values. The combination of beliefs and values result in thoughts, which mixed
with feelings become our emotions. From all of this, our expectations are born, which lead to our behavioural pattern and the actions we take.
Expectations mixed with behaviour and action, create a force of attraction which magnetically attracts the results we experience, good or bad.
Your Belief Becomes Your Reality
Perhaps the most powerful single factor in your quest for happiness is your belief about yourself. This law of belief that simply says: Whatever you believe,
with feeling, becomes your reality. Whatever you intensely believe becomes your reality. We have a tendency to block out any information coming in to us
that is inconsistent with our reality, with our beliefs. Page88
