Beliefs are interesting things.\u00a0 We often treat our beliefs as if they are fact.\u00a0 We don\u2019t question them, or their origins, even when \"beliefs-wordle\"<\/a>there\u2019s something inside of us that doesn\u2019t feel in total alignment with them.\u00a0 Our beliefs come from many sources: family, religion, ethnicity, education and others.\u00a0 When our beliefs are tied to longstanding family traditions or religion, it can be a challenge to question them.\u00a0 If we no longer prescribe to the beliefs that we were raised with, it can be perceived as a denial of our heritage or that we\u2019re turning our back on our religion or our family.<\/p>\n

Accepting the beliefs of others without questioning them, however, leaves us in an interesting position.\u00a0 We follow the beliefs of others without truly understanding why.\u00a0 We end up doing things the way they\u2019ve always been done, resistant to change that may provide us with a more efficient or effective way of doing things.\u00a0 If we\u2019re not careful, we end up closed-minded and closed off from opportunities for continuous growth and development as individuals.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll belief that does not make us more happy, more free, more loving, more active, more calm, is, I fear a mistaken and superstitious belief.\u201d ~ John K. Lavater<\/i><\/p>\n

Are you holding on to beliefs that are stopping you from living the life you deserve?\u00a0 Often, we have limiting beliefs of what we are capable of, what kind of life we\u2019re worthy of and what it is that we have to offer the world.\u00a0 Why do we hold onto beliefs that don\u2019t contribute to our lives in a positive way?\u00a0 Does it make you feel good to believe that you aren\u2019t worthy, or good enough or smart enough to achieve your goals?\u00a0 If you\u2019re beliefs aren\u2019t serving you then it\u2019s time to take inventory of your beliefs and identify those beliefs that serve you and those that don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

There are times when we have a conflicting belief about a certain area of our life.\u00a0 Whether it\u2019s money, marriage or career, those conflicts are guaranteed to block the flow of what it is you want in those areas of your life because you have mixed emotions about them.\u00a0 Consider challenging those conflicting beliefs.\u00a0 Look for a positive spin on the negative beliefs in your life, and see if you can turn them into affirmations that inspire and empower.<\/p>\n

Holding onto beliefs that don\u2019t serve us in a positive way doesn\u2019t make sense.\u00a0 Like the John Lavater quote implies, I think our beliefs are there to inspire us to be the best we can be in all areas of our lives.\u00a0 If you have beliefs that are holding you back or making you feel powerless, it\u2019s time to take stock of those beliefs, ridding yourself of those that don\u2019t serve you and creating new, powerful beliefs that help you to create your best life!\u00a0\u2665<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
