A practice I greatly value in my life is one that I call “examining beliefs.” Engaging in the practice regularly can be transformative. Let’s say you want to do something new but feel stuck.
You might be procrastinating or feel bound by an old habit. One way to break free is by discovering the thought, assumption, or belief that causes you the action (or inaction) you want to change. I don’t want to do this because “I’m going to do a bad job.
” I’m dreading doing this because “it will be boring.” I don’t want to do this because “it will be hard and uncomfortable.” They shouldn’t behave that way.
They don’t love or respect me. They don’t support me. 1.
