What Do You Believe?

“Examine the routine of suffering and break out.” ~Deepak Chopra
Why do we suffer?
After doing a bit of soul searching, I’ve come to believe that a big reason why I have suffered in the past and present as well, is because of the conditioned beliefs I took in as a kid growing up. These beliefs come from many places including family, school, friends, media etc. When we’re little, we’re like little sponges and we soak up all that is around us, including the beliefs of others.
How break out?
Examine your routine, as Deepak says, and become aware of the thoughts that make you suffer. If you feel anger, fear, or grief, what thought preceded those feelings? Try to remember it and then examine it.
Examine your beliefs.
Where did you first hear that belief? Was it a parent, sibling, teacher? Do you truly believe it to be true? What would it feel like it you didn’t have that belief anymore? Check in with yourself daily and become aware of your beliefs so you can decide, with awareness, if they are worth keeping or if it would benefit you to toss them out the door. Energetically feel how your body responds with and without that belief. What feels better?
Try it out…..
I invite you to break out and examine your beliefs to see what is true for you.
