What are your Beliefs?

If we are feeling stuck, unhappy or grieving for any length of time, it is because we have a belief that something should be different than it is. That means that our “belief” is going to get in the way of our hearing Spirit in the moment and having the ability to follow guidance. 

Many of the belief systems we operate from had their onset in our early years. Like a seed that is planted in the ground and grows, so have these beliefs. Some of them have created fear, sometimes paralyzing, sometimes subtle. Others have set us up for disappointment. If you trace the emotion or feeling that is being triggered in the moment you will be able to find the belief that is the root cause of that trigger. If you are not able to do it on your own, talking about it with a trusted friend or counselor will help to uncover it.

There are some beliefs that are buried in our subconscious minds and they are more of a challenge to uncover. The symptoms will keep repeating themselves until we pay attention to them. If you are confused by self-sabotaging behaviors that have been with you since you can remember, you are definitely on to something.

No matter how you approach this, it is imperative that you do. You would not wear a blindfold intentionally and expect to be able to see with your physical eyes. If you did walk around with the blindfold on and not get any training on how to do it safely, you will quickly start bumping into things, bruise your body, and eventually have a more serious accident.

That is what we are doing by not paying attention to the belief systems that play the self-talk tapes in our heads incessantly. Again, those are not as dangerous as the buried and unheard subconscious messages.

Do you hear any of these regularly?

1. I should make more money
2. I am supposed to be married and have a family by now
3. I should look better, be fit, and eat right
4. I should be healthier
5. I definitely need to be more successful
6. I definitely need to be more educated
7. I should be smarter
8. I am not popular
9. They really don’t like me
10. Why am I alone? I will never find the right person
11. There is no way I am going to change
12. I will never have what I want or deserve in life

You get the idea. There are so many more. Start paying attention and you will find yourself laughing at the absurdity of these beliefs. They are not rooted in any spiritual base and have no real power. The only power they have is what we have given them because we were told at some point by someone or something that “we should” do or be this.

Release these beliefs by finding your “truth” based on God’s truth. Your energy will increase; you will feel lighter, healthier and beautiful. That is a “belief” to ponder on for this day and always.
