WHAT ARE YOUR CORE BELIEFS?
FIND OUT BY ANSWERING THESE QUESTIONS.
Most of us will struggle at some point in our lives with thoughts and feelings that threaten to derail our success and happiness.
Core beliefs include the thoughts and assumptions we have about ourselves, others, and the world around us. They are ingrained beliefs that often go unrecognized and yet constantly affect our lives .
Here are some common examples:
•I'm not attractive.
•Everyone else is better than me at their job.
•The world is full of selfish people.
• Everyone just wants to take and never give.
These examples are core beliefs. Our entire lives are dictated by such inner beliefs, and most importantly to note, sometimes our core beliefs are inaccurate! If you consider the examples above, you can guess the influence they would have. Thinking you are unattractive, you will no doubt struggle with your self-esteem and confidence. If you think everyone is better than you at their job, then you may feel small and insignificant. If you consider that the world just wants to get you, then you may find yourself reduced to cynicism, locked up in a prism and seeing the world and its people negatively. This will affect what you offer to the world and what you are willing to give and share.
Core beliefs influence what you get and how you operate in the world as a whole. Negative and often inaccurate core beliefs will drastically reduce your chances for joy and personal fulfillment in life.
