Why is your belief the way it is
The human mind is limitless in its potential. Neuroscientists are exploring the powers of the human brain, and are always curious about what endless possibilities are possible for a human mind. Reminds me of ‘Limitless’ movie!
Scientists are curious and intrigued with how humans can perform better by tapping into the powers of the human brain.
The research over the past decade has provided us with so much of insight into the human brain, especially with respect to: how to achieve goals, how to achieve outcomes, how to get into an amazing state of mind, how to generate new and lasting behaviours, and how to let go of unresourceful limiting beliefs, and how to create powerful beliefs.
A child is not born with limiting beliefs. Humans over a period of time create their limiting beliefs by repeating a series of thoughts and feelings patterns, which are based on their surroundings, their own life experiences, how they code their experience, and what meanings they provide to these experiences.
Human potential movement which originated 70 years back, where lot of visionaries of the era, psychologists, therapists, Behavioural experts, were interested to know what enabled some people to achieve a lot of things in their lives, and others fail to do so. Over a period of time, some geniuses were able to decode what makes people achieve extraordinary results, and created a serious of frameworks, models out of that work, which basically transpired into what is called Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).
NLP provides a user manual for the brain, how we can navigate through what we think, how we feel, how we generate improved behaviors, powerful beliefs, etc. The experts in the change process, and will be able to help a person with unresourceful beliefs.
People move forward in their lives by being able to manage their state of mind, and that is generated by asking powerful and meaningful questions.
The power of achievement is in understanding what makes a person work, what is their unique strategy of excellence, their unique drivers, and if they understand that they can replicate that to get better results and consistent results. NLP enables a person to design their life the way they wanted to, by providing the rights tools, methods, patterns, models, etc. NLP also provides resources to get rid of negative unresourceful beliefs, and create powerful ones, which propels a person forward towards their goals/outcomes.
Here is a Belief Change process using NLP which enables a person to gain control over situations where a person is unable to move forward due to negative beliefs.
If you believe (Belief x) about something very strongly, and that is stopping you from doing something, then check what is the belief (y) about that belief x (the one that is holding you back).
Question the belief (y) about the belief (x).
Do a strong ‘No’ to that belief (y) — Say out loud that I refuse to believe in the belief x (the one that you want to let go).
Example:
Belief x — It is difficult to change a behavior.
Belief y — Belief x is very true.
Hence the stuck state.
Belief x — It is difficult to change a behavior.
Belief y (New statements)- Belief x is rubbish, and is hampering my life. Belief x is pathetic. Nooo, Belief x is not true.
Belief x will start to become shaky, and eventually ready to be collapsed.
The more you question the belief (y) holding the belief (x), and develop a strong ‘No’ to it, you will notice a significant shift in your thinking, and a feeling of freedom from the limiting belief (x), which then is easy to Let Go….
