Beliefs: Are They Keeping You Stuck?

beliefs

You can accomplish anything you wish if you believe in yourself, set realistic goals and take consistent, persistent action. You can have all the good intentions and support that is needed but our thinking can make us stuck. Ask yourself: what beliefs are usually rolling around in my head? Are my beliefs in aligned with the decisions and goals I have made? Do you even think about your beliefs?

Your beliefs determine the life you have. If you are feeling stuck and are unhappy with your life, examine your beliefs. [twitter url=” https://cherebork.com/beliefs-keeping-stuck” style=”horizontal” source=”@cherebork” text=”Your beliefs determine the life you have. ” float=”left”] 

Step One: Identify Your Empowering Beliefs.

“I can do anything I set my mind to.”

“I can learn to be happy with myself.”

“Others opinions of me don’t matter.”

How do these beliefs empower you? How do they give you strength no matter what happens in your day?

Write done your number one empowering belief and post it on your bathroom mirror.

Step Two: Identify Your Limiting Beliefs

“I’ll never be good enough.”

“I’m a failure.”

“I’m too old to make changes in my life.”

What are the consequences of hearing these beliefs? How are they keeping you stuck and from the life you truly desire?

 

Ask yourself:

How is this belief ridiculous?

Who did I learn this belief from? And are they a person worth emulating?

Are they living the life I want?

 

Many evenings I work until 10 pm and can hear my precious mom in my head saying, “No rest for the wicked.” She must have said that one hundred times growing up. If I had not gone to coaching school I would surely think I am unworthy of happiness because I am “wicked.” It is time to dump the old stories rolling around in our heads.

Step Three: Write a Replacement Belief for each Limiting Belief

“I’ll never be good enough.”

“I could get into medical school if I wanted to – it is not my true passion.”

“I’m a failure.”

“I’ve accomplished everything I’ve attempted; I attended UC Berkley, the # 1 public university in the world.”

“I’m too old to make changes in my life.”
“Personal growth is a life-long process.”

 

Ask yourself:

What do I need to achieve my goals?

Who can support me?

Who can I emulate that is already doing what I want to do?

So what are you thinking today? Happy thoughts? Sad thoughts? Tomorrow’s plan? Troubles and challenges? If you want to have a juicy life lived to the fullest, examine your beliefs and change the ones that are not leading you to what you desire. Dump your worry, fear, anger and “comparitis” to other people. Think empowering beliefs instead. Your happiness depends on it! Better get busy!
