Chapter 2: How Thoughts Become Beliefs
Goal of This Chapter
In this chapter, you'll uncover how subconscious beliefs are formed, why they hold such power over your actions and results, and how misaligned beliefs can sabotage your efforts. By understanding the roots of your beliefs, you'll take the first step toward transforming those that no longer serve you and aligning them with the outcomes you truly desire.
Let’s back up and talk about the origin of our deepest, most common negative thoughts—our subconscious beliefs. It took me a long time to understand the concept and process of embedded beliefs and why they play such a critical role in how we’ve manifested our current reality. The incredibly frustrating thing about these beliefs is that you probably have no idea they even exist. Talk about annoying! And what’s worse, they are often the opposite of what we think we believe. In other words, they are tricky little fuckers! There is nothing worse than working your tail off to get a result when, all the while, your subconscious does not believe that result is even possible. When this happens, you will always manifest the result that aligns with the belief, not the effort. And let me tell you from a lot of personal experience… THAT SUCKS.
It’s so important that we align our beliefs with our actions so they are both pointing in the same direction. When they are in sync, we get our desired result, often far more easily than we ever imagined. When they are in conflict, or going in opposing directions, all the effort in the world won’t deliver our ultimate desired result.
