What is Beliefs? This is a mental acceptance of and conviction in the truth, actuality, or validity of something. Since we have looked at the meaning of beliefs, the next question is to ask ourselves, what kinds of belief are truly empowering? Which ones will help us to reach our goals and succeed in improving the quality of our life?
The answer is simple, beliefs that will empower us to make positive changes, beliefs that can catapult us to the next level of our life, be it career, relationships, family etc. This would include beliefs that allow us to change how we feel about things, and those that allow us to change our own behavior.
One of the keys to your success is your ability to change your belief system. Your beliefs create your reality - change your beliefs and you change your life.
Feelings and behavior define who we are as a person. Most of the time our behavior is just the outward manifestation of our feelings, and our feelings are a reflection of how we view things through the window of our beliefs.
For instants, is the lady beautiful? Was that person trying to insult me or are they just running low on resources? Is this challenge a bummer or an opportunity? The answers really depend upon our beliefs and how we choose to sort information and view circumstances.
Below are some guidelines to creating empowering beliefs
The sky is large enough to accommodate everyone: -
There is an endless supply of everything you desire when you connect with your spiritual source. You came from nothing, out of a surge and impulse for life. The universe provided everything you ever needed to grow in life. Everything in this world is created in the same way - from a desire to exist. Express your full desires in grateful appreciation of the world around you and watch them grow like flowers emerging from the ground in springtime.
Your thought determines who you are: -
Change your negative thoughts into positive ones. While positive thinking alone will not alter your existing beliefs, it is a practice that can help you get in line with your thought patterns in a more conscious way.
Rather than being a victim of your own thoughts, you can take control of them and choose them moment-to-moment. As you become aware of negative thoughts throughout the day, consciously replace them with equally positive (and usually opposite) thoughts.
For example, if you find yourself thinking that you’ll never be successful because you just can’t seem to break out of your limiting behaviors, consciously affirm that you have just as much potential to be successful as anyone else.
Visualize yourself with the determination, courage, and optimism you’ll need to succeed. And the next time negative thoughts arise in your mind, go through the same process again.
Remember that it is a process and it will take time to get into the habit of thinking positively, but it does begin to have an effect on how you feel on a regular basis. And the better you feel, the more positively you’ll think. You end up creating a continuous cycle of positive thoughts, positive feelings, positive beliefs, and positive actions!
Belief in yourself:-
Develop a stronger belief in yourself. While you’re working on transforming the quality of your thoughts, you can also purposely develop a strong belief in yourself and your abilities. A good way to start is by making a list of your positive character traits, qualities, skills, and talents. Write down every positive thing you can come up with about yourself, even if you don’t think it’s that amazing.
Then simply spend some time every day reading this list and affirming your ability to accomplish whatever you set your mind to. Over time, you’ll begin to feel more positive about yourself and more confident about your abilities, just because you’ve developed the habit to do so.
Motivation: -
Empower and motivate yourself. Another wonderful tool for forming new beliefs is using your imagination to change your self-image. Visualization is an easy yet effective tool to replace your old, limiting self-image with an empowering new one. You simply close your eyes and conjure a mental image of yourself as you want to be.
You are the writer of your book: -
It’s your life and whatever you make out of it depends on what you put into it, as they always say “ as you lay your bed so will you lay on it” you own yourself the full responsibility for your actions in life, Blaming anyone else for the results in your life does nothing to change your circumstances. Instead, focus on what you can think, feel, and do to sail where you want.
Create a spirit of forgiveness: -
Forgiveness goes a very long way in our individual lives, God himself takes delights in the act of forgiveness, so when you have hurt, or have been hurt by someone else, then you must forgive. Forgiveness does not mean to condone the behaviour, but rather serves to release the hurt and promote healing. Without forgiveness, the hurt festers and infects, leading to disease and further pain. To forgive, first ask, "What can I learn from this?" Then express gratitude for allowing the gift of learning in to your life. Try as much as possible to forgive every wrong doing towards you and release yourself to the word of God.
Why not take a moment to write down some of the beliefs you have about reality. What do you believe to be true about yourself; could it be your health, career, relationships, finances, spirituality, etc? You own yourself the responsibility to be who you really wants to be, so don’t let any negative beliefs limits you.
Good luck and stay bless.
Cheers
Quotes
"Don't let the negativity given to you by the world disempowered you. Instead give to yourself
that which empowers you."
- Les Brown
"All personal breakthroughs being with a change in beliefs. So how do we change? The most effective way is to get your brain to associate massive pain to the old belief. You must feel deep in your gut that not only has this belief cost you pain in the past, but it's costing you in the present and, ultimately, can only bring you pain in the future. Then you must associate tremendous pleasure to the idea of adopting a new, empowering belief."
- Tony Robbins
It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.
- Bristol, Claude M.
You can change your beliefs so they empower your dreams and desires. Create a strong belief in yourself and what you want.
