Just what are beliefs then?

Beliefs - we all have then and without even being aware of it your beliefs could well be holding you back and stopping you from achieving the things you really want in life, whether that be money, fitness, happiness or career we have beliefs that affect all of these things.

Let me explain a little; as humans we are subjected to influences every second of our lives, these could be the influence of friends, parents, media (T.V, Newspapers, etc), events past and present.

Based on our interpretation of these events or influences we feel emotions and then attach meanings to the event, as these events are replayed instead of assessing them again based on their current context our subconscious will either delete, distort or generalise about the event.

This process doesn't allow us to identify differences between the events and so we begin to believe that we must feel or behave in a certain way every time a similar event occurs.

So you can see that over many years this could well become a belief so powerful that it stops us achieveing the things we really want.

Beliefs are based on past events and infuences, they are then strengthened by evidence provided as a result of the delete distort and generalise process....they can be changed
