#117 Are Your Beliefs Tripping You Up?

 In episode 117,  I ask you to question how your beliefs are tripping you up?  I'm not referring to religious beliefs, but rather those beliefs that rule how you think and how you feel.  

Beliefs like, I'm not ready; I can't do it;  If I don't see it, it can't be true;  If it hasn't happened yet, it won't happen; I'm too old; I should know how to do this by now. And so many more. 

A belief is merely a thought we've had again and again, and we now believe is true. It's the same with other people's beliefs. They're not facts, only thoughts.

One such belief  tripped me up yesterday to the point that it was impossible for me to see what had happened, and I even went so far as to doubt my own memory because that seemed more plausible than what happened. 

In episode 117, I share what happened.

We only see a silver of the world and sometimes not even that. 

The first step is becoming aware of what you're thinking. 

If you're feeling stuck, consider there is another way even if you can't imagine it. Know that there are other possibilities. 

You can start small with questions like I wonder how this day will surprise me, even if you don't expect any surprises. 

You can also consider - if I believed X, how would I show up today? 

These questions start to stretch our thinking.

The healing practice I offer is to cross your hands and hold your inner thighs. This practice comes from Jin Shin Jyutsu. Hold for 5 minutes or more. It helps your energy to move, and helps you to get unstuck.
