The Power of Beliefs in Shaping Reality.'

Do you feel as if there is something holding you back in your career, your relationships, or your enjoyment of life, but you can't quite put your finger on it? Do you ever feel less than confident, like you know you can do something, but don't believe you are capable? Is there something you would love to do, and know you have the ability, but there is this nagging feeling of "I'm not good enough"?

Well take heart, you are not alone, we all have these feelings at some time in our life, sometimes on a daily basis. There is a reason for it that can be corrected that dosen't involve hours in therapy or truding through you past.

We all understand that we have beliefs, however, no one has told us how deep they go or how limiting or freeing they can be. What do you think of when you think about your beliefs? Does your mind go straight to religious, political, or worldly beliefs? If so, that's ok, most people go straight there when this subject comes up.

There are deeply held beliefs you have that go beyond the conventional socially held belief construct. If we look at what a belief is, "a belief is a statement we have about our reality that feels true to us on some level". Therefore we think our beliefs are true about our reality. What if your reality is true for you because of the beliefs you formed as a child, that you may or may not know are controlling your decisions, and thus your reality today?

The majority of our limiting beliefs in our lives are formed in our childhood, due to what our parents said or didn't say, or what they did or didn't do, or being ingored as a child, no exceptions. That's not to say our parents are bad or intentionally wanted to make us feel bad. They were doing the best they could with the limiting beliefs they held, that have never been addressed.

All of us formed beliefs during this time, and for many these beliefs were compounded when they went to school, some even compounded more when they went to high school, from teachers and our peers. I call this the stacks on effect, for anyone familliar with the school yard game from many years ago. The belief becomes compounded because we think what they say or do is more evedience of our belief of "nothing I do is good enough", "I'm not capable", or "my importance comes from what other think of me". etc.

Another effect of these beliefs is - it can cause us to put others on a pedistal or place them in a ditch depending on our beliefs about ourselves and the beliefs we have about them, based on what we see or hear. Many people place themselves in the ditch by placing others on that pedistal. An example of this is when we meet someone who we think is doing better than us, who seems to have it all together, or who has the relationship we have always looked for. We will look up to these people and wonder why we don't have that in our lives. Then the "I'm not capable" or " I'm not good enough" feelings rise up. Sound familiar?

I have used the Belief Behavioural Technique with myself, and many other people who were stuck in self limiting patterns in their life. By looking at the limiting patterns your life, the beliefs behind them will become apparent, and together, one by one those beliefs can be eliminated, freeing you to become unstopable.
