INVESTIGATING YOUR CURRENT BELIEFS
As children, we develop beliefs about ourselves and the world, and these
beliefs become the lens through which we view life. We're constantly on the
lookout for evidence to support our beliefs, which means that we're always
looking for information to validate that what we believe is true.
Our limiting beliefs shape everything that we do. They prevent us from seeing
opportunities and discourage us from going on to achieve the things we want in
life. Once we identify what these beliefs are, we can then recognise that we
have a choice as to whether we will continue to accept them in our lives.
We can start to identify these beliefs by listening to what we're telling ourselves.
For example, if someone is in a dead end job that they hate, they may say
something like, 'you just have to accept your lot in life'. Whatever we tell
ourselves to justify or explain why our lives aren't working out the way in which
we want them to, is most likely a limiting belief.
Take a few minutes to honestly self-reflect and consider the beliefs listed on
the following page. Pay attention to how it is that you respond to each of these
statements, and consider the reasons why you are agreeing or disagreeing.
Your response will be an indication of what you believe. For example, consider
the first statement 'the world is a bad place' - do you find yourself agreeing or
disagreeing? If you're agreeing, where did this belief come from? Did somebody
teach you this? If so, how do you know that they were telling you the truth?

Can you think of any other prominent core beliefs that you've identified in
your own life?
