Do you Believe in You?

Human Beings are Meaning Making Machines (Triple MMM’s!)  Every second our nervous system is bombarded by 2 million bits of information via our five senses.  To be able to make sense of this and to prevent total overwhelm, we delete, distort and generalise the information. We sift this information through our own unique set of filters which include our beliefs.  Our beliefs were formed to help us make sense of the world in light of the things that happen to us.  We have both empowering beliefs and disempowering beliefs. The second ones, often called limiting beliefs, are just that.  They limit us in some way by limiting our perspective on reality.

For example, you may have been told when you were young that money doesn’t grow on trees, or money is the root of all evil!  You may not consciously have taken this on, but your unconscious mind is awake 24/7 and is always eavesdropping on your internal dialogue. So, if at some level you believe this to be true, you may find this reflected in your results in your life.  If you aren’t having the financial success you want, check out what beliefs you might have towards money.  Your brain will endorse your beliefs as it likes to prove us right. It notices things that we are focusing on.  Consider this.  Can you recall a time when someone told you about a car they were wanting to buy, or one they bought, that you had never heard of?  Once you heard about it or saw it, you suddenly saw them everywhere!  Now, it’s not that they suddenly made lots of them, it’s just that you were not focused on them before.  Your unconscious mind is always eavesdropping on your thoughts, so whatever your internal dialogue is, you will create your own internal representations, made up of your pictures, sounds, senses, tastes and smells.  The brain then grabs onto a picture that you have made, and what it sees it believes.

So, if you say I don’t want to be broke, it conjures up just that - a picture of the very thing you don’t want!  If you tell yourself you are no good or don’t believe you have the skill sets to get that job, guess what picture you will be conjuring up?   Remember, what we focus on is what we get and our beliefs determine our actions, which in turn determine our results.  Our beliefs really are a lynch pin in relation to our results in our life.

So, what do you really believe?   What empowering beliefs can you choose right here right now, that will get you great results? What would your life be like if you truly believed you could have all the riches in the world, or you were an amazing successful business owner/ worker?   One of my beliefs I choose, is that I take responsibility for everything that happens to me in my life.  For me this gives me greater results than blaming others for my life situation.  How often do you hear people blaming someone else?   If you blame other people you are not truly taking responsibility, and this will show in your results.

So, it’s half way through the year.  Remembering that your beliefs will determine your results, ask yourself where are you in relation to where you want to be?   What would you have had to believe to be where you are right now?   What beliefs are serving you and what ones are not serving you?  Consider this like taking a stock take of where you are right now in your life.  Are you truly happy with where you are?  Truly?  In all areas?

Ask yourself what beliefs would you have had to have in order to create the results you have right now (TIP - take a look at what you haven’t achieved).  If, for instance you didn’t exercise regularly, or eat healthily like you said you would, ask yourself why.  Keep digging until you find something, a belief that may be disempowering - such as “I am lazy,” or “I’m not good enough”.   Then run these questions through the belief.

Where did this come from?
Do I really believe it?
Could the opposite be true?
Is there a time in my life when the opposite was true?
What would happen if I let it go?
How do I feel when I consider being able to let it go?
How would my life change if I could let it go?

This will help loosen up any beliefs that may be blocking your success.   If you would like some help with getting rid of any obstacles that may be limiting your results, please call me about my results focused Coaching Voyages.
