How To Change Your Beliefs (rewrite your negative stories)

It all starts in the mind then it appears outside. Everything in your life started from your mind and you are seeing the result of it.

Because

Our thoughts ARE what creates our feelings which in turn drives our actions which lead to the results we get

For that, we need to change our thoughts to achieve what we want

we will sabotage and stop ourselves from doing what we want if our thoughts and beliefs don’t serve us and are hinders

TO know what thoughts/beliefs we have about a certain area,subject..etc is to look at our actions, where in our lives we are stuck, unable to make a change or move forward

To not fall into abyss write your answers and don’t just think about it in your head

ask yourself these type of questions to start your mind thinking and looking

what am I thinking about(fill in the blank)

why I am doing this (eg.procracinating, doing this job that drains you…etc) when I want to do that(eg. work from home, travel the world while being able to have an income…etc)

How we form beliefs?

A belief is a thought that is repeated so many times that now feels like a fact. it’s ingrained in our subconscious mind and we operate on it in autopilot without realizing it most of the time

So, to change those thoughts we must install new thoughts repeatedly to make it stick in our subconscious mind which we can reach in a state of relaxation

where do beliefs come from?

it can come from others our parents, society massages and conditioning we get from school, advertisements and other high and well-trusted people

also, it can come from the conclusions we draw from our experience and dramatic emotional experience that lift an impression on our mind, sometimes we don’t even realize it like a situation or an event that you can remember clearly from a long ago

The best times to install new beliefs where we are can reach the subconscious mind are

When we meditate,

right before we sleep,

right when we wake up and during and after working out

how I changed my belief to help me learn a new language

it was the first time I came across affirmation when I read a book called headstrong by Tony Buzan. I used not because I fully understood it but because it was suggested in the book to change a belief or thought

so, I created the affirmation(day after day I am becoming fluent in English) which I wasn’t at all. it was strange but I liked the book and what in it to give it a try. I started saying as many times as I can in a day in the book he suggested to read it 100 or 200 times it was too much so, instead I opt-in into doing as many as I can

after a few years when I look back now it’s just fascinates me how I can read, write, listen and speak English with confidence

yes, i worked hard to get where I am now but with having the new belief in my mind gave me the drive to move forward and keep going to the point that I have no doubt that I can learn it no matter what others say it’s hard or difficult. it didn’t affect me because my beliefs were stronger.

 

That being said, let’s dive into how  we can actually change our beliefs

How we can change our beliefs and stories

1- identifying a negative belief or an area or a thing that we want to believe that we don’t believe we can do, have or be

1- By reframing those beliefs into something empowering, lifting and in your best interest. by telling ourselves a different story about what happens and what will.

when the repeated negative thought plays and you catch it then say the new belief /thought right then and there

2- By repeating the new thoughts and beliefs many times until ingrained in your subconscious

3- Create affirmations to create a new belief/thought

then repeat it either by writing it, reading it or both

using neutral affirmations reduce the cognitive dissonance that comes from holding two different, opposite beliefs at the same time

Example

negative belief: I don’t have time

positive belief: I have more than enough time

neutral belief: I am considering the possibility that I have more than enough time

Tip: use the negative beliefs as a reminder when they come to you to say the new thought/belief(the affirmation)

Use the negative thought to remind you to say the new beliefs instead of getting frustrated when the old one plays(this is what it means to reframe your thoughts)

3-Normalize the thought by being around people who have the same belief and living it, by saying to yourself it’s normal for you to do that

4- Expose yourself to the new thought many times through listening to audio material like a podcast, your own made affirmation recordings, hypnosis or watching a youtube video, live training on social media

5- Meditation with suggestions/affirmations in it

when you are in a deep relaxation your subconscious is closer to reach

6- Saying the new thoughts and beliefs after meditation immediately

7- Using hypnosis to reprogram and change our beliefs

hypnosis: get us to the subconscious level where we can reprogram our minds easily
