No matter how much we read or
study and practice personal growth we are not immune to limiting beliefs that
come up every so often. Our limiting beliefs are our conditioned mind or our
UNCONSCIOUS Guidance System moving us in the wrong direction. Remember, anytime
you feel any negative emotion you know you are out of the Flow and out of
Alignment with what you truly desire in your life
People often ask me how I handle
this when it happens to me. My response is the first thing I do is acknowledge
that it is happening. I find that if I try to fight it or deny it, I give it
more power. So I just say to myself, "That's interesting. Why do I feel
this way?" And then I feel it. It
is important to allow yourself to feel the emotion behind it because that is an
emotion you need to deal with in order to release it. If you don't allow yourself to feel it you
will bury it. And if you try to bury it alive, like a horror movie, it will
arise again and haunt you. It will reoccur and may surface at an inappropriate
time which could cause you to feel angry or even break down into tears or have
some type of emotional outburst because you didn't feel the emotion originally.
So I take a look at it without
judgment. And when I don't fight it, it dissipates, dissolves and evaporates
because I don't give it any power. I just allow it to be there, acknowledge it
and then let it go.
The next step is I always replace
it with a better feeling thought. So after you acknowledge it, feel it, express
it and let it go, just reach for the alternative to it. Reach for the opposite
of it.
This is the same as experiencing
what you don't want, in order to discover what you do want. That belief or emotion is probably one you
don't want. And a great way to deal with it is to simply reverse the belief
that showed up. For example, you have the belief or emotion that there is not
"enough". There is never enough, money, love, food, freedom, etc.
(fill in the blank). The opposite of
that is there is ALWAYS more than enough, if I am willing to accept it.
So the point here is that when
this happens, you acknowledge it, feel it, don't fight it and then just reach
for a better feeling thought. That thought is usually the opposite or
alternative to it. When you choose that, you have regained control and the new
belief creates a new emotion which attracts a new experience. It is as simple as that!
