Hello and welcome to episode 110 of the nourishing, Amy podcast,
and today is going to be a therapy Thursday episode.
Now, if you haven't listened to one of the therapy Thursday
episodes before the reason that I called them, this is because
it will be a topic that I personally have found a lot of
value in as. Well, whether that be recently
or something that I've learned that I'm like, this is going to
also change my life as well as yours.
It will be a topic that is something that I personally have
taken onboard myself as well. So today I'm going to be talking
with you guys about beliefs and getting clear on where your
beliefs come from. Are your beliefs yours if
they're not. What do you actually believe?
It's such a big topic and I know in last episode I kind of
touched on this a little bit because it was like a bit of a
introduction. To the actual topic that I was
talking about in the last episode.
And as I was talking, you guys would have heard.
I was like, whoa, this is huge. Like I need to stop going on
this tangent of beliefs because that's not actually what this
episode is about and do another episode on beliefs.
So, here it is for you. Now, before I jump right into
that topic, I am going to give you this week's recommendation.
Now, this week's recommendation is this quiz.
Just so it is a goes for about 10 minutes.
It's a daily podcast episode that runs you through the
headlines in the news cycle and I have to be honest, like I
don't watch the news, I don't listen to a lot of news.
I find it a little depressing, I guess.
I kind of ignore things to a certain extent.
I feel like there's just been such a heaviness around the news
cycle in the last, like, two years.
Really forever. Actually, if I'm honest, like
it's not often that you turn on the news and there's a really
happy exciting story that's on, but I find this quiz really
great because it is very Punchy, it really delivers the news in a
way that doesn't feel overwhelming.
And it also feels really achievable for me because I'm
like, I know it's only going to go for like 10 minutes.
Also, what I find interesting is sometimes they'll be talking on
my toe that topic sounds interesting.
I want to do a little bit more research on that and I'll go and
get Going or jump onto some of the news websites and actually
start to read a little bit more about those topics to.
Now there's also an Instagram page called The Daily.
Let me just really quickly, jump onto Instagram and double check,
because it might actually be the daily Oz.
But the reason that I love the daily is because so it's
actually yeah, the daily oz. So no spaces tThe, daily4 us.
The reason that I love this Instagram Pages because very
similar to this quiz it gives you the news headlines or like
the important stuff that's happening in really easy to
digest ways. There's lots of quote tiles and
things like that, and it gives you, you know, like the big
focuses, but it's easy to read, it's easy to understand.
Sometimes there's tiles that you can scroll across and get a
little bit more information from So yeah, it's great.
I would say those two. If you're looking to get into
the new cycle, a little bit more in-depth, your toe in without
feeling overwhelmed, or anxious or stressed, the daily Oz and
this quiz as a podcaster series are really great ways to get
started. Now, let's start to talk about
beliefs. This is such an interesting
interesting topic, because when you think about it, All of your
beliefs like basically beliefs come from, what we hear, and
continue to hear from others, like, at the core of their
being, that's what our beliefs are.
And it's so crazy. When you think about that, like,
really think about that for a second.
What that actually means is your beliefs, may not even be your
own, because if we think about these on a really large scale
like a life time scale for you, If you go back to when you were
a really young child and the thoughts and opinions, and
beliefs that you were exposed to back then from anybody in your
life, but more importantly, influential people that you had
in your life. So that maybe parents if you
lived with parents or had a good relationship with your parents
or even a bad relationship with your parents, it could be people
that grandparents teachers at school friends parents that kind
of stuff, but So that's like that really big scale of like
okay well I can start to understand the enormity of this
when I think about that you know as children we are so
impressionable. We're not to know if somebody in
our life is telling us something we're not to know whether that's
you know, right or wrong or where not to not that anything
really is necessarily right or wrong because it's their
perspective. But we are less able When We're
Young actually, I would kind of say unable when we're really
young to put our own perspective and context on to those beliefs.
And so when we're really young we take them on board as our own
essentially and we kind of grow and evolve that belief as we are
growing and evolving, it changes with us and it evokes in evolves
and grows with us. Sometimes we And get to the
point that we realized that's not actually something I want to
buy into a believe anymore. That's not my opinion or
thoughts. But other times if we look at
the absolute other end of the spectrum for that, we can really
fully wholeheartedly jump into those beliefs and carry them
with us. Now it's not to say again.
Like I just said that anything is really inherently right or
wrong but what we really want to do is start to create a little
bit of curiosity, sorry. The word was escaping me for a
second, a little bit of curiosity around, where do my
beliefs come from? Where are these regular thoughts
or opinions, or perspectives that I have coming from?
And is this something that I fully wholeheartedly believe
myself or has this potentially been given to me and passed down
to me either when I was younger and it's something that I still
hold onto to this day or is this maybe a newer belief that has
come in the more recent years? Say, Last like, five 10 ish
years or so. Through older relationships that
I that sorry relationships that I have as an older human being
or not a child in the way of like friendships different
careers and jobs that you've had that kind of stuff and beliefs
and opinions and perspectives that you have then taken on
board as your own from those experiences in your life as
well. Now, I actually did want to
preface It's the beginning of this episode, and say, I really
hope the audio is okay for you guys.
Today, I need to be honest, I'm recording in my car today
because all he's got conjunctivitis and cold, and
it's just absolute chaos in my house this week.
And he obviously can't go to daycare.
So I've got to do what I've got to do.
I really wanted to get this episode recorded and sent out
for you. I've had a lot of personal stuff
going on in the last few weeks, and I'm not going to dive into
it, but I really needed to take a few weeks of time for myself
for my own mental health, and really just process that whole
situation. So, if you do, follow me over on
socials, you probably would have noticed over the last few weeks,
I've been very quiet, if not like barely non-existent,
because I just really needed that mental health time in
saying that this week. I've kind of felt like, okay,
I'm ready to start getting back into my routine.
So help me to feel really Good. And start to switch my brain
back on into work mode and of course, then Ali got sick.
And I haven't had time away from him in the house today and I
thought no, I've got to get it done.
I want to get it done, and I want to get this recorded and
out for you guys. So, here we are in my car.
I hope that the audio isn't too terrible quality for you.
I do apologize and we should be fingers crossed as long as the
daycare bugs, stay away next week, back to regular According
next week for you guys. So like I was saying those for
the beliefs that we have come from what we hear and continue
to hear from others. So, These can be beliefs that
have been internalized by others and automatically passed down to
us. So what I mean by that is if
this is true what we're saying about your beliefs that they've
been passed down to you and it's things that you've heard
regularly over the years and over the time of your life span
and that's things that you have taken on board.
We also want to really put that on a large like a huge scale and
see that that is also So, the case for literally, every single
other person in the world, it's the same for people that, you
know, people that you don't know.
For your friends, your family members people that you have
close relationships with people at work.
It's also, when we think about that, the idea that this is
where we get the idea of like generational beliefs.
Because say, let's just use the example that you have taken on
board, a belief that maybe your mum had or your dad.
When you were growing up and when you were a young child that
belief that they had has actually probably been passed
down to them by somebody, influential in their life and
it's evolved and grown and changed with them, as they've
become an older person and an adult and then they are
sometimes subconsciously. And that's why I say that
sometimes these beliefs are internalised and automatically
passed down because it can be so subconscious that we don't even
realize that we're doing it. Or they don't even realize that
they're doing it. And this is kind of the part for
me where I was like, it really is mind-boggling when you think
about the enormity of this subject and I'm going to do my
absolute best to try and get through it in a way that makes
sense. And it helps you to understand
and really Embrace this concept and for it to be something that
doesn't feel overwhelming or stressful.
So, One of the reasons that we have beliefs and that they can
be passed down to us, is because it helps our people that came
before us to feel like they are maintaining a sense of culture
or tradition. So whether that is really
ingrained, culture and tradition and things like, you know,
religion family traditions. You could even think about, you
know, the way that perhaps, you spent Christmases when you were
younger or Or if there was any like family, traditions that you
guys had or friendship, Traditions that you guys had
when we are passing down our beliefs, it helps us to feel
like we're maintaining that sense of cultural Tradition.
Now that in turn can also help us to feel like we have a sense
of belonging and certainty and those of you that either are my
clients or that aren't my clients.
But have seen me speaking on my Instagram lives or Doing some
live online sessions with me, would know that belonging and
certainty are two of our main psychological needs.
So we have six psychological needs all together.
These are at our core of Who You Are.
Who every single person is these are at your core needs.
That you have psychologically that you are looking to meet
every single day. So yes, these will be a lot of
the time subconscious and and I'm actually pretty sure while I
know that I have done a quite a few podcast episodes on these
but it's generally that sense of if one or two or any of your
psychological needs are feeling like they're not being met at
any extent to any extent. Then what that means is that you
will just feel a general underlying feeling of like I'm
just not really feeling like myself or I'm feeling a bit off
I'm just feeling a bit blah a bit flat and when we really Look
at the meaning behind what's happening for you.
Whether it's like life's thrown a curve ball, or you're going
through some big change. Things like that, we can really
have a look at these six psychological needs and get
clear on. Okay, well with this change, or
with this, this curveball that's happened in life at the moment.
What of these six psychological needs is being challenged for
you belonging and that sense of community is one of them and
certainty or that sense of like, I know what's happening, I feel
Confident and comfortable with my routines and my lifestyle and
that I know what's going on in my life.
These are two really, really big factors in the sixth circuit
logical needs. And so our beliefs help to
reinforce that sense of belonging and help to reinforce
that sense of certainty so that on its own is also a huge factor
that plays a part in. Why we have beliefs, why we can
hold onto them so tightly. And why it can also feel so
uncomfortable if someone disagrees with one of your core
beliefs as well. I've got another note here but
I'm just trying to figure out what it means.
Oh yes, of course. So on the opposite, end of that,
if we know that holding onto our beliefs, or buying into our
beliefs, whether they're ours, or whether they've been passed
down to us, helps us to feel that sense of belonging or
certainty on the other side. What it also Also helps us to do
is avoid things like shame and isolation and guilt because
they're really the opposite end of that belonging and certainty,
right? So it's like, well, if I go
against something that again, for example, like my mom, or my
dad has passed down to me and perhaps they're still alive and
I'm going against that belief. What are they going to think?
This is really like, I guess if we look at an example, say In a
lot of the movies and it's like, the parents of Saved, 18 years,
or however old children are when they go to college over in
America and they've saved for 18 years to get their child to go
to college and then all of a sudden their 18 year old child
turns around and says, actually I don't want to do that.
That's an 18-year belief. That that those parents have
held possibly even longer. That is then being turned
around. Round and not necessarily thrown
back in their face but it's a big pill for them to swallow to
be like, whoa, okay? Like this is going against
everything that I thought was going to happen and that I
believe is important so we can really get that sense of like I
don't want to disappoint Somebody by saying this thing
doing this thing, having this belief and maybe going against
the grain a little bit as well. That's where we can get those.
Feelings of shame or isolation or guilt coming up in that.
Well, if I don't believe this anymore, the big question then
is, what do I actually believe. But also then on a subconscious
level and more of like a, you know, caveman style level of
like, well, where do I fit in? Am I going to be kicked out of
my tribe in inverted commas? Obviously, we know that, you
know, tribes aren't really a thing anymore.
Yeah, but they kind of are as well like really.
When we look at our sense of community, a sense of loving and
belonging, we have different tribes within our life, whether
that be your family, whether that be people that you work
with, or your friendship group, we have different tribes, or
groups. I would prefer to say now, of,
in our life and that sense of changing or going against the
grain of Of either, what they believe to be true, or what you
believe to be true and have shared that as your belief can
feel quite confronting and quite uncomfortable as well.
So, basically our beliefs start from, if we again go way back to
when we were younger, they start from those influential people in
our life and then as we get older, if they start to evolve
into friendships, You know, social media, even plays a big
part in this because we're so exposed to other people's lives
and watching what other people are doing that, we start to
place importance in all like that would be cool.
If I had that thing in my life, I want to go and buy a house in
that area or I want my children to go to that school or I really
would like to do this certain thing for a job or move my
career in this direction, or have this certain amount of
money saved or a I love this style of clothing or this brand
of clothing. So many like honestly the list
is literally never ending in the way that social media can.
Influence and change our beliefs, our perspectives, our
thoughts, and so subconsciously, without us, even realizing that
we're doing it. It's yeah.
Such a big topic. I'm so passionate about this.
So when we start to think about, I'm assuming that, especially
from the last episode that I was talking about, I know I spoke a
lot about like those influential people in our lives from when we
were younger and how they have played a part.
So I'm definitely going to To come back to that in a minute.
But if we start to think about, say the more recent years like
the, the like 5 to 10 years, the most recent five, to ten years
of your life and thinking about the influential people that you
have in your life. Now, those relationships that
feel important to you, but also in the way that potentially
social media could be impacting, your beliefs, your feelings,
your thoughts, all of that kind of stuff as well.
Let's kind, And of just take a moment to consider how impactful
that can actually be in your life, right?
Like it's a pretty big concept when we think about instead of
just doing the automatic scrolling on your phone and
watching what everybody else is doing or like watching your
YouTube videos or even watching like TV shows and movies and
watching stories, play out in front of us.
It takes a lot of. What's the word that
intentional? That's what I'm trying to think
of. I swear my mom brain and
pregnancy brain has just been absolute Next Level.
This last two weeks. I don't know if it's just like
all that personal stuff that I had going on that was taking a
lot of like energy and just everything.
But oh my gosh. I swear I'll I'm like the word
is on the tip of my tongue so often this last week I'm like
has my brain just stopped working But I digress.
So it's it's really you know, looking at where are these
beliefs coming from? What am I watching?
What am I placing importance in? And is this actually important
to me like why is this important to me or is it important to me?
Because I am seeing that it's important to somebody else and
like we One have a little bit of balance here.
Like of course we get our sense of maybe things like you know,
fashion that you're enjoying wearing or foods that you like
to eat recipes that you would like to cook that kind of stuff.
We don't want to stop using social media, and the internet
and things like that. All together, I've spoken about
this a lot in my podcast episodes on distraction
techniques as well. What we want to do is find a
balance of utilizing these things that we have in our lives
like social media and Technology as tools.
That feel really good for us that are beneficial for us.
But also to just kind of like in the background be aware that
this could be happening. Like, I could be being
influenced because again that's why influences are called
influences, right? Because they influence our
lives, they subconsciously or sometimes, not so subconsciously
influence, the decisions that we're making Being we're
watching People's stories. YouTube's we're watching TV
shows reality TV shows made up fictional TV shows movies.
Those types of things that we are being fed, all of this
information and taking that on board.
And sometimes it feels like we don't have a lot of choice as to
what we're picking and choosing for our brain to focus on.
Imagine, if you were really intentional about every single
thing that your brain took in, it's physically, impossible,
like physically mentally emotionally impossible.
I know I've spoken about this statistic before on the podcast,
but every single second, your brain, through all five of your
senses is taking in three million pieces of information
every single second. And that's just like the things
that you can see, the things that you can hear the things you
can touch and smell and taste all of that kind of stuff and
It's just absolutely impossible like you would never be able to
pay attention to three million different things, every single
second. So your brain is actively
choosing what to filter out. If you're interested in that go
back and have a scroll back through, I think it's around
episode, like 60, 70 ish for the mindset series, and I dive
really deep. There's 16 podcast episodes,
they go for about 10 to 15 minutes each and they dive into
the different cognitive distortions, which is basically
thinking patterns that help us to filter through all of the
information that we are getting every single second.
So there's a heap of different thinking patterns and ways that
your brain filters through information and it's super
interesting when you can start to be aware of them and call
them out and realize, like, oh, I'm this is one of my cognitive
distortions. I'm doing black or white
thinking or I'm generalizing or, you know, I'm really running
into my cognitive bias here, that kind of stuff.
So that's all in the mindsets. He's there for you.
But what we want to start to bring a little more awareness to
is okay through the information that I'm consuming whether it is
via technology and social media or whether it is through my
friends and family members and relationships that I have in my
life. What am I choosing to buy into?
And do I want to take this on board as my own?
Or is it just kind of like? Okay, cool.
I'm like taking it on board, but do I actually believe that?
Do I like that? Thought to, I like that opinion,
like what do I actually? Really think that's a big
question, right? What do I think about this?
And I guess he's kind of dives into that topic of like identity
and like, who am I, if you have either been through, like, a big
life change or maybe you haven't been through a big life change,
and there's been a lot of consistency around maybe things
like your career, and your work life, and things like that.
That it's like things just feel, maybe a little predictable for
you. That then it's like.
Well, hang on to actually question that and be like, but
what do I think? Especially when life has felt a
little on autopilot, it's a pretty big question.
So I'm going to give some examples of beliefs that could
come up. They're kind of, like the common
ish ones and ones that I could just kind of think of off the
top of my head. Of course, these are going to be
individual for everybody, but it could be things like, for
example, Example this suburb in my area or it's a bad suburb
black. No, we don't go there because
it's not a good suburb we could have.
And again I'm really want to State, these are not my own
beliefs. These are just examples that I'm
using that you may be able to identify for yourself.
You might be able to identify these beliefs that maybe other
people have had that you've heard other people, talking
about things like it's bad to, you know, insert, whatever their
budgets. Things?
Like, it's bad to be gay or that it's bad to cry if I'm a man
like, you know, men don't show emotion or maybe even something
like, it's bad to show emotion. Like, I need to be strong, I've
got to keep it together. I've just got to keep pushing
through those types of any sentence where it's like, it's
bad to or maybe even like, I need to, I should it's good to
like, the Opposites of them as well, or like, I should be able
to get this this in this done. But why do you believe that?
Where have you seen that? Has that been played out in
front of you by somebody, when you were younger that it was
like, I just got to get all the things done or, you know, are
you being exposed to that behavior on social media or in
TV shows that it's like, oh, that person's so productive.
I need to be that productive, as well.
Things like, I need to have this, do this be this.
All of that kind of stuff. That's all subconscious beliefs.
You have another really common one.
I should have this certain body type or I should look this way
so whether it's hair color makeup that you like wearing
clothes that you like to wear a certain weight that you would
like to aim for or the way that you believe your body shape or
style. Looks a lot of the time that can
really be traced back to when we were a lot younger and I've
spoken to quite a lot of my clients in the last few months.
I don't know why but I feel like body image is kind of having a
bit of a Resurgence again as a topic that a lot of my clients
and just in general like I think the general I won't say general
population but like my Niche and demographic of clientele that I
work with and you know people that I'm chatting with on
Instagram and stuff like that that will send me messages about
maybe things that they have questions about or that they
want to know more about all that, they're struggling with.
I have found that in the last few months.
Image has been a massive topic that's been coming up quite
regularly and something that I've really spoken a lot about
with so many people is the fact that, you know, my generation
and so I'm going to assume and say your generation as well.
Because I know most of you guys are around my age demographic,
all of that kind of stuff. Our Generation has been so
exposed to marketing from like, Like when we were young, if you
think about like Dolly and girlfriend magazines and then as
we got a little bit older that turned into like and W magazine
and I can't even remember what what they were even called
anymore because they're not really around.
I don't, I wouldn't even know actually if they're around
because I don't really buy magazines anymore.
But so if we use nw4, an example and the articles that they would
run on celebrities body, weights cellulite like they would have
20 Page spreads on stars that have been popped at the beach
with cellulite in their bikinis or dramatic weight loss by the
Stars. I don't know.
Like I feel like those images of Nicole Richie in that blue
little bikini from probably like 20 years ago.
Now they're like burned into my brain because they were on every
single newspaper and it was this big thing about like oh look how
much weight she's lost and in some Gene's it was like, she's
looking fantastic. She's lost all this weight in
other magazines. It was like, wow, she's so,
scarily skinny. But if we are thinking about the
impact, that, that marketing has played on us.
Now as adults, when it's like, you have been fed these images
and these stories, literally, since you were a young child and
now it's morphed into marketing companies, it's a multi-billion
Dollar business. Business and Empire that
marketing companies are paid to make you feel less than, and to
make you feel like you need more, you need to be more be
different. Look, different look better in
inverted commas, whatever that means.
And so our beliefs, this is another really big example of
how beliefs can be passed down to you from things like
marketing and media. Like these companies are paid To
touch on your pain points and to get you to feel like you not
just want to, but need to change something about yourself.
So I should have this body type. I should look this certain way I
should eat this food. I should have these routines and
healthy habits in my life. All of that kind of stuff.
Yes. Like eating healthy foods is
good for you. Yes, having routines and healthy
habits. It's good for you, but, but it's
getting clear on what are the healthy habits?
That feel good for me? Not for a me, not for one of
your friends, not for that person on social media, but for
you, what feels good for you and we can gain inspiration from
other people. We can talk to our friends and
our family members and look to things like social media to see
what other people are doing and get an idea of like ah actually,
maybe that's a habit that I would like to do for myself or
that self-care. Cold.
But it's actually feeling into like, what is going to fit with
me, what feels good for me and how can I incorporate these
moving forward? So it feels good for me.
Not just because this person says that, I should like this
thing or do this thing, right? Reconnecting back to that, wire
behind the actions that you're taking in your day-to-day life,
some other examples could be things.
Like this certain religion is bad, so religious, Beliefs are a
huge huge worldwide topic. And I mean, very obviously, like
the reason for so many of our wars in the world in, and in
history and the reason for so much conflict in the world.
And so religion is a huge belief and it's not that any religion
is necessarily right or wrong again.
Like I said, these aren't any of my personal beliefs.
These are just examples that I'm using But when we look at that
topic of religion, we can see that there are people that are
so passionate, and they so passionately believe about the
really believe their religion that they are like, putting
their values and their life beliefs in that, it can when we
get to extreme circumstances result in things like violence
and fighting and disagreements, and things like that.
So religion is another really big example of a belief that can
be passed down to us all also things like, you know, I kind of
mentioned it before like this food is like good or bad or all
that kind of stuff. So, so many different examples
and again, these are just like some quick ones that I threw
together this morning when I was planning out this podcast
episode, what I really want you to do.
I've got three different action steps for you.
That is going to help you to start to move through these and
to start to really get clear on like, what do I actually believe
in starting to feel like Creating more of an identity for
yourself and for you and who you are as a person.
So, we've got first of all, and I know I say this all the time,
but we have to create awareness. You cannot change something if
you're not aware that you're doing it or that you're thinking
it, so creating awareness around beliefs that you have.
So, just getting clear on like, oh I think I should be doing
this with my life or I should have this thing be at this point
in my life. Life, I should look this certain
way. It's bad to do this, it's bad to
do that. Like, all of that kind of stuff.
Just start to create awareness start to get a little bit
curious. Where does this actually come
from? So the second point so first
step is when a second point is that questioning and calling
out. So, questioning getting curious,
where does this belief come from?
Where did I originally first hear this?
Or why is this something that I am?
Important thing at the moment. Where does this come from?
Is this? Mine is it, my friends?
Is it a family members? Where have I got this belief
from? Is this something that I want to
continue to buy into and if it is amazing run with it, if it's
something that feels empowering or good for you, love that.
Go for it. But really what we're doing is
after the awareness, step questioning getting curious and
calling out beliefs that you have recognizing that there
probably is. Well, they're definitely is
Going to be some that feel a little uncomfortable or that you
realize hang on a second. This isn't actually something
that I believe this is one, that's been passed down to me
and then our third step is creating change.
Now, of course, this is like a little easier said than done,
but what we want to do as a Next Step from that questioning and
calling them out. When you realize, hang on a sec.
This has been passed down to me. This isn't actually.
Something I do believe in or want to believe in anymore.
Or by creating that change what we can do.
In the most powerful question we can ask is okay, well, if this
isn't something that I want to believe anymore, What do I
believe? Or what could I believe here?
What would changing this belief look like to me?
So really big sweeping statements really big
generalizations can be beliefs as well.
Things like on my partner never helps me around the house or you
know, my partner should do more around the house, or my kids
should be acting a certain way or my boss should be doing this
for me at work like that kind of stuff.
Big generalizing big sweeping statements.
These can also be examples of beliefs that you hold as well.
So just getting clear on what These are when you're noticing
these big sweeping statements whether it's lifestyle-wise
body, image wise, just big General sweeping statements that
you're making and thinking and just getting clear on like where
is it actually coming from an if this feels empowering or it's
something I want to continue buying into a believing amazing?
What does that look like for me moving forward?
Or if you notice that hang on a second, this has been passed
down to me. I don't actually believe this or
I don't want to believe this anymore.
That's all. Is such a huge step forwards,
because it means that you are now taking that power back to
you and that you're giving yourself the opportunity to
think about, okay. Well, what would this look like?
For me if I was to change this, you don't necessarily have to
give it up altogether but maybe it's just looks like changing
perspective. Just a little to start off with
and what you, then may start to realize is, you know, that could
put a bit of a Snowball Effect into place that you may look
back in another 6 months. 12 months to years and realize.
Wow. Wow, I've really done so much
work on changing my beliefs and feeling empowered with the
beliefs that I do want to buy into.
And that I do want to have into my life in my life, that I've
actually let go of a few of those other beliefs, that felt
really limiting that were holding me back that I realized
what passed down to me from other people and I've been able
to let them go and now look at where I am.
Look at this change. Maybe that I've been able to
make in my life, which is really cool because at the end of the
day, you do have the power to do.
That this all really revolves around creating that awareness
as that first step of, like, hang on a second.
Where is this coming from? Where does this thought come
from? An, is it mine?
