First, let’s talk about core beliefs. Your core beliefs are the sum of your past experiences. From the moment we’re born, we’re constantly trying to make sense of our world. What do you think when you think about yourself? Do you think you’re kind & deserving or bothersome & undeserving? Our brain automatically answers these questions using the direct & indirect messages we received during childhood. A direct message could be “Jenny, aren’t you clever?” or “You are so lazy, Sam”. An indirect message is a belief your brain accepted via experience. They are the beliefs that control your actions without you even knowing. For example, if one of your parents were often too busy to spend time with you, your brain may have created the indirect (subconscious) belief that you are unimportant & unlovable. Your parents didn’t blatantly tell you that, but it’s how your brain perceived their actions, hence the term ‘indirect’ or ‘subconscious’ belief. The bad news is that until you reframe those beliefs, there’s a good chance they will continue to influence your decisions & ultimately run your life. The good news is that it’s never too late to reframe our beliefs! Take a moment to think about what subconscious beliefs are running your life. If they aren’t contributing to your happiness & well-being, then it may be time to replace them. Once you have identified the root cause of your negative beliefs, you can begin to reframe them using neuroplasticity & psychology, which I will discuss in my upcoming posts.

In simplest terms, if you don’t believe something is possible under any circumstances, you have limiting subconscious beliefs that need to be reframed. If you believe something is possible & just not possible for you, you likely have a poor self-concept and/or have been conditioned to subscribe to low self-worth stories. In either scenario, the first steps towards change is reframing your beliefs.

✨ Follow along as I teach you how to manifest your dreams using psychology, quantum physics, neuroplasticity, and just a sprinkle of magic.

Снимок с моей последней лекции. Меня пригласило читать научное сообщество моего вуза, а я только рада посветиться и повыступать. Я редко хорошо получаюсь на фотографиях, но тут даже ничего, вроде.
