Power Hour: You Become What You Believe
There came a time in my life when I needed to seriously look at my life, heart, mental/physical health, and overall well-being and... ask myself what do I believe? I spent so many years living the life that I was 'supposed' to be living or the life that society and those around me thought I was supposed to be living.. and it did not make me happy, it did not give me peace, it did not give me joy, and definitely did not give me happiness. I needed to make some changes..
These changes were not going to be easy, and these changes were not just going to impact me and me alone... I needed to make changes in my life, my relationships, my way of life, and perspective that I knew were choices that were going extremely tough, but I felt like I was having the life literally being sucked out of me and felt like I was dying... I needed to accept the fact that I deserved to be happy too... I needed to take the steps to make my life change... I believe that the growth and changes within my life are all part of the journey. And while I am on this journey, I am trying to ask myself questions, learn and grow...
Do you believe that you are worthy of Happiness?
Do you believe that Happiness, Success, Abundance, Comfort, Fulfillment, Peace, Joy, and Love is your Birth Right?
Is that what you believe or do you believe something else?
Because you will Manifest the Life that You Believe...
Whatever you deeply believe, you will create...
Be The Change you want to see in your life
Here are some thoughts and questions..
Close your eyes and "fast forward" to a moment 5 years from now, when you are living your best life to its absolute fullest. Describe the room where you wake up—where is it, how is it decorated, what is the energy like, and who is there with you?
Think of something you wish to make happen— and in your mind create a concrete symbol to represent that wish coming true. What did you wish? What is the symbol?
What is the feeling in your body as you imagine this wish coming true? Feel for ways to shift and reshape your vision until it feels possible and peaceful. In fact, it's most likely to happen if it feels like a done deal—normal.
What is it you know you can do, with your eyes closed on your worst day? Thinking about your falling-off-a-log-easy skill, how might you see that leading not just to pleasant outcomes, but to huge success?
To find out what you truly believe, write a description of your life situation—the people around you, your circumstances, and "blind spots" where your self-concept fails to align with your real self.
Look back on your previous answer, and investigate the beliefs that correspond to your life's worst elements. Rethink those beliefs.
When has a negative statement called forth a strong feeling in you that said, "No, this person is wrong. I am meant to succeed"?
What offhand remarks have you said—or heard someone else say about you—that turned out to be a sort of prophecy?
Are your actions in alignment with what you say you want in life? Where are you staying in a situation where other people are treating you badly, waiting for them to change? Passivity in a situation of injustice creates a damaged life.
Do you undermine yourself by thinking, "I'll never..." or "that doesn't happen for people like us"? Instead, find examples of times your negative belief was wrong. Focus on the places where your life plays out in defiance of your negative beliefs.
