Welcome back to the podcast. My name is Joseph Clough. And in today's episode, we are talking about our values and our belief systems which ultimately form our identity. And more importantly, how we can get into a lot of trouble if we don't discover

and uncover those unconscious beliefs and values. You see, they are unconscious after all,

because if you could change, you would change. You would just kind of click your fingers and let it go.

So your unconscious mind is really running all the things that make up your identity.

And you might even hear my cat in the background as well on this audio.

He's going a little bit crazy. But that is all

good. So let's just break it down to basics. In the last week or two, I did talk about how our

values are very, very important. But if you haven't listened to that one, let's just recap. And if you

do remember, it's going to refresh your memory as we go through

this. So if you think about how you show up in life, we usually think about of our environment, right?

We try to change our environment, but that's not going to really work. Because you can leave one

relationship, go to another

relationship and just almost repeat the same experience of a different person you can

leave one job and go to another job and things just keep on showing up to your

disliking maybe so whether that be anxiety fear worried doubt worried doubt, the imposter syndrome, all of those

things. Now the other thing we try to do is change our behavior. But behaviors are just habits

and they're governed by something bigger, which is our capabilities. If we have an unlimited

level of capacity and capabilities, you get to do whatever you want.

But if your capacities are very limited, it limits your behavior as well.

So what governs your capacity, your behavior, your environment, what is those two things, your identity, which summarizes

the beliefs and the values that you experience.

So what is a belief system?
