Time to shake up your beliefs
If you are not getting the results in your life that you want, no matter how hard you try, it may be because of your beliefs. Now what are beliefs? Beliefs are only thoughts that you have thought over and over again until they became so ingrained that they are now beliefs. Sometimes they are not even thoughts that you have been thinking but thoughts and beliefs you have picked up from other people.
They could be your parents, teachers, friends, your culture, country. Every single person has different beliefs that are passed down from one generation to the next. We don’t even question these beliefs. We just take them on as our own and it’s only when we are growing and wanting something for ourselves which does not “exist” within our social circle, that we might question them. Most of the time we are not even aware of the way we are thinking or have any idea of our beliefs, we just think that making money is not for us, or having a loving relationship is not possible or travelling the world, a pipe dream.
There is a real science behind our beliefs
All our thoughts have neural pathways in our brain and the more we think a particular thought, the more ingrained it becomes, hence creating a belief. Can you imagine driving on a dirt track where the tracks are quite deep, you could probably take your hands off the steering wheel and your car will stay on the track. If you want to turn off the track you are going to have to put some serious muscle behind your steering to get out of the ruts.
Time to shake up your beliefs
So like getting out of ingrained ruts, you can do the same with your thoughts and beliefs. It will take work though, but it is possible. However, you first have to know what it is that you are thinking and believing. Sometimes it’s not as easy because you have never been asked to question these thoughts and beliefs.
Think of an area where you would like to excel or change. Write down all the things you think and believe about that area. What kind of things did your parents say or comment on. It may take a little while as you explore your beliefs. Think about yourself having achieved that thing or changed that thing that you want. What thoughts come up? It’s not possible because….What are people going to say?….I am going to have to do….. Just notice what your brain is telling you and write it all down.
Question everything
Once you have this information, you can now question everything. Our brains love telling us stories and you will make up stories with facts to prove something true. Those facts may be very true, however, do they serve you. If you do not have what you want, those stories are not helping you. If you are blaming someone or something else for not getting what you want, you are in victim mode. I get it. I was in victim mode for a long time, believing that I did not have agency over things in my life. There are still areas in my life that I would like to change and I have to remind myself of my stories, that they are not true, despite the facts.

Hi, I’m Antoinette Porter, your hostess at Live Life Inspired where we will explore what is possible in your life. A life you can look back on and say, “Wow!! I did that!”
We all choose stories that “benefit” us. Perhaps you do not want to go out into the world and conquer. You would rather lie on the couch and be safe. But is this really benefitting you? If you have a burning desire to be someone in the world, lying on the couch is not going to get you there. The benefits of doing this keeps you small. If this is a conscious choice you made and you like your reason, by all means, stay on the couch. But I am guessing, if you are reading this, you want something more for your life.
Time to shake up your beliefs
When you have questioned and discarded all those beliefs that do not serve you, you have a completely clean slate to work on and you can now decide what you want to think, what beliefs you want to create so that you can go after your dreams. If you are not sure what to add or where to from here, there is a ton of self-development, coaches, books and teachers that can help you. Trust that you will find the right person/teacher/coach for you.
Now go and change some of those limiting beliefs that you have been hanging on to for years and live the life you are meant to.
Till next week.
