In life, we all pick up belief systems along the way depending on our experiences. I've seen some people be able to shake it off with positivity while others really struggle. I was one that struggled. For years, my beliefs were defining me and as a result of that, my life was always in turmoil and chaos.
I finally stumbled across Byron Katie's book "The Work". In it, she asks the question, "Who would you be without your story and can you believe it to be true?" I started to wonder if all the nonsense I was telling myself was just that- nonsense.
Every day we have the choice to rewrite our story and redefine our beliefs about ourselves. It took me a long time to learn to love myself and change what I believed about myself. It takes daily reminders and disipline to rewire but it's possible.
What are your belief systems? What is the story you tell yourself over and over, and are you certain it's absolutely true? Remember, thoughts become things. Be gentle and patient with yourself as you would with your inner child. It takes time but you deserve to love yourself.
