Ep 49 Change Your Thoughts, Change your Life

All your beliefs start with your thoughts. The thoughts that you think about over and over again ultimately become your beliefs. If you struggle with limiting beliefs the good news is you can change those beliefs by changing your thoughts. Here's how...

1.) Pay attention to the thought you have and the stories you tell yourself over and over again. Awareness is ALWAYS the first step.

2.) Write down 5-10 limiting beliefs/doubts/negative things you tell yourself. Here are some examples...

• I'm not good enough
• I'm too weird to fit in
• I'm not skinny enough

3.) Recognize those things for what they are...LIES! You don't have to believe those things about yourself. They are just the stories you've been telling yourself but they don't have to be your truth! Cross out everything you wrote on your list!

4.) Write an affirming statement that counters the limiting belief you wrote. Here are examples from the limiting belief examples...

• God created me for a reason. He made me perfect in his eyes
• My weirdness is a gift because it makes me unique
• My body is beautiful/strong

5.) Look at your affirmation list daily and anytime you have a negative thought stop yourself and replace it with the matching affirmation.

Remember - you have formed the habit of repeating your negative thoughts. You can for a different habit but it WILL take time. Give yourself grace but stay consistent. Keep showing up for yourself because if you do there is nowhere you can go but up!
