Our subconscious mind is like an invisible force that influences our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors without us even realizing it. It’s the hidden realm where our beliefs, fears, and desires take root and thrive. Understanding its role in our lives can lead to profound personal growth.
Beliefs, the fundamental building blocks of our lives, are often shaped during our early years and can persist throughout adulthood. They can be empowering or limiting, and sometimes, we don’t even recognize their presence until we take a closer look. But how are these beliefs formed?
Beliefs are the result of our experiences, interactions, and the information we absorb from our environment. They can stem from family, culture, religion, or personal experiences. Over time, these beliefs become deeply ingrained in our subconscious mind, shaping our perceptions and decisions.
Identifying Limiting Beliefs: A Unique Approach
To change limiting beliefs, we first need to identify them. One method is to play a game of associations with everyday objects or words. For instance, take a list of all object that surrounds for example when you think of a CCTV camera, what’s your immediate thought? This simple exercise can help unveil your core beliefs.
For example, when I played this game with a classmate, her first thought associated with a CCTV camera was “getting caught.” In contrast, mine was “security.” It was an eye-opening moment that revealed her fear of being apprehended, while I focused on the sense of protection.
Similarly, consider words like “money” or “wealth.” What’s your initial thought? When I thought of “chanel”, my immediate response was “I can’t afford.” This indicated a limiting belief about my financial situation that I wasn’t consciously aware of.
Changing Limiting Beliefs: A Path to Transformation
Once you’ve identified your limiting beliefs, the process of change can begin. Awareness is the first step. Acknowledge the belief and its origin. Understand that beliefs are not set in stone; they can be altered.
Challenge your beliefs with evidence to the contrary. In my case, I could question my belief about money by examining my financial situation objectively and seeking ways to improve it.
Replace limiting beliefs with empowering ones. In the example of the CCTV camera, one could work on changing the perception of potential consequences from “getting caught” to “personal responsibility.”
