I have blogged a lot about beliefs and also wrote about them in my newsletter.  Why, you might ask? - Well, because what you believe is so pivotal to how you shape your reality.  Dr Wayne Dyer even wrote a book entitled "You Will See it When you Believe it".  Think about that for a moment.  How many times have you been blind to something until you shifted your belief structure? 

Choice comes into this too.  What you choose to believe will determine how your reality is modelled.  I want to take a look a the anatomy of a belief.  Not because I am a scientist, far from it, because I want you to question some of the things that you believe to be true. 

I think there are number of stages as follows:-

1. You are given some information from a source that you trust
2. You adopt that information
3. You transform it into an idea or ideas
4. You gather some evidence to make it real for you
5. You talk about it
6. You re-enforce the idea
7. You believe it
8. You get to be right about it
9. You validate it whenever you can

The same framework works to replace negative beliefs with positive ones.  If you take the 9 steps above, you can use this to 'install' some more valuable, a belief that supports you, better feelings and better outcomes.  What are you beliefs costing you?  Look beyond what you see and consider alternatives.  How will you world look when you replace your limiting beliefs?
