Fears, Thoughts, Beliefs

When we have some fear, it seems to the person having that fear, that the fear makes sense.  If you have a fear, it would seem that fear is real and is valid.  But often — if not most of the time — that fear is at least overblown.  Sure, there are times when a fear is valid.

But since our system is designed to over-fear, we suffer fears that are neither logical nor valid.  Since some fears are legitimate, it is tough to decide what is fair fear and what is useless.

In fact, those fears aren’t just useless, they are limiting.  They keep us from moving forward with living.

David Wood, How our beliefs (often false) create false thoughts, leading to false fears.In prior episodes, we have examined how our thoughts lead to feelings and fear, that any emotional state can be tracked to thoughts you are having, independent of reality (although it may reflect some reality).

So, in this episode, David Wood returns to examine how beliefs affect and create our thoughts.  Which leads to the fact that our emotions and fears and their roots in our beliefs.  Beliefs that may not be true.

But how do you test a thought, to see if it is real?  How do you examine a belief, to see if it is valid?  David pushes the envelope with an example, and follows up with a clear protocol for testing beliefs and thoughts.

4 C’s To Changing Your Limiting Beliefs: #32 Thriveology Podcast

Change your beliefs, change your results.We all have beliefs about ourselves, other people, and the world around us.  Sometimes, those beliefs help us to move forward with great success.

But many times, those beliefs hold us back and keep us trapped.

In last week’s podcast, we talked about the stories we tell ourselves when something happens to us.

This week, let’s talk about those beliefs that permeate our lives.  They are the recurring beliefs that can keep us stuck.

Maybe you believe that people won’t like you, or that people are angry with you.  Perhaps you believe life isn’t fair (and can even point to events that prove this).

These pervasive beliefs are often very limiting and negative.  They can keep us stuck, unable to grow and develop.

But what if you had a model to take on these beliefs and push them aside?  What if you could replace the limiting beliefs with freeing beliefs?

In this week’s podcast, I want to offer the 4 C’s to changing your beliefs.
