What if I told you that 90% of your beliefs were imprinted on your brain by the age of 6? Sounds unbelievable, but yet it's true. We don't choose to have most of the beliefs we carry through life. Instead what we do is constantly look for confirmations that reinforce those beliefs.
No wonder people utter the phrase "You can't teach an old dog new tricks". We keep ourselves trapped in our limiting beliefs that we didn't even create ourselves! Everything we see, feel, or think about a situation, or religion, or culture, or well....anything different. These have predominately been formed while young and reinforced over our lives. But how do you break the cycle and change those beliefs?
Follow these 3 simple (but not easy) steps:
1. Identify 3 negative beliefs you currently have, and 3 positive beliefs your best self would have. Create new I am statements like, "I used to believe _____, but now I am getting better & better at ______ everyday."
2. Decide you will commit to change, adversity is your advantage! Draw that line in the sand, you are not going to remain as you are, nor will you ever return to the old you. Be willing to keep going when everyone else quits!
3. Control the inputs. Garbage in = Garbage out. Instead of consuming negative inputs, focus on positive ones that help you create the new you. Stop watching news, tv, playing games, & gossiping on social media. Start studying a new skill, reading a book, joining a mastermind group, learning from a mentor, anything that helps you develop the ultimate you.
Take the time to really think about your beliefs, and where they came from. Then you'll know what changes you can make to become your ideal. No dog is too old to learn a new trick, it just takes reflection, repetition and consistency.
