"We learn our belief systems as very little children, and then we move through life creating experiences to match our beliefs. Look back in your own life and notice how often you have gone through the same experience." -Louise L. Hay This month’s theme is Core Beliefs and you can get the free worksheet at AffirmationPod.com/CoreBeliefs  Before I go over my experience with the Core Beliefs Worksheet, here are three points on Core Beliefs: 1. Core Beliefs -> Thoughts -> Feelings -> Reality Your core beliefs show up in how you think, feel and live. You can probably think of family, friends, co-workers and be able to pick out pretty quickly what their core beliefs are. Sometimes it's not so easy to recognize them in ourselves but if we want any change in ourselves and in our lives, it's vital we take a look at our core beliefs. 2. Not all Core Beliefs are Truths. Some are blatant lies! Some core beliefs need a 10, 20 or 30 degree to see a huge improvement in our lives. Other core beliefs need to be flipped 180 degrees in order to see benefits. We can challenge our core beliefs and understand how much truth may (or may not!) but a part of them. 3. Be Ready for a Fight If you're trying on a different core belief, woohoo! Just remember it's wise to expect a fight. Destructive or not, core beliefs won't go down without a fight BUT if those beliefs are creating a reality you no longer want or need, it's time to lace up those gloves. I also encourage you to SAY your new core beliefs. It may feel uncomfortable. It may not feel "you" but change takes time and we all have to start somewhere.   The sister episode to this one is Episode 70 Worksheet Series - The Reflection Worksheet   SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT Thanks for supporting our sponsors! This helps keep Affirmation Pod free for you to listen to whenever you need it.
