Beliefs
Monday, May 12th, 2008Dear Savvy Woman,
What beliefs are you walking around with?
I’m a good person
Life is unlimited abundance
I’m not worthy
I’m so lovable
I can do this
I’m ugly
I’m fat
I don’t know how to ‘do relationships’ very well
I make stupid mistakes
Beliefs are like the food of our minds, and therefore, they make up our emotional and physical health and realities.
Recognizing unhealthy,false beliefs and replacing them with healthy, abundant and true beliefs -which propel my clients forward to living bigger, bolder and deeper lives - is part of my coaching work.
Debbie Ford writes, in “Why Good People Do Bad Things”, “We participate in the killing off of our spirits by perpetuating the lies that have been delivered to us in so many ways - the lies being the beliefs we hold about ourselves. But it’s now time to break free from denial and start telling the truth. Your beliefs, even the ones deeply ingrained in your psyche, are not the truth, they are a truth - and they can also be a lie.…It’s time to recognize these lies for what they are and acknowledge the deeper truth: beliefs are just that - beliefs. These lies that we tell ourselves shame us, confirming the untruth that we are really the bad ones who should go without love, money, health , or happiness.”
Check your beliefs. How might they be limiting you - keeping you in denial, playing small, and simply not expressing the full, true self that is you?
Create new beliefs. If you struggle with this, ask a trusted (and enlightened) friend to help you.
Post them. Read them morning and night.
From my savvy heart to yours,
Leslie
