I'm a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and this is the first thing I teach every patient that walks in through my door. And if you actually take this to heart and apply it, it will change your life. Here's the secret. There is no such thing as reality. Everything that you perceive as reality is actually a reflection of your core beliefs.

Let's say you have a core belief that you are hardworking and you cannot tolerate people who are lazy. Let's say your co-worker comes in late to a meeting or your nine-year-old daughter is dilly-dallying around her math homework or your spouse said that they would do the dishes and forgot. You will immediately see each of these situations and use it to reinforce the belief.

See, people are lazy and I'm hardworking and I have to do everything around here. But in truth, we don't know why that co-worker is late. Maybe they're going through a rough patch in their marriage or maybe they have to work two jobs to make ends meet. We don't know what's happening with your nine-year-old.

Maybe she really struggles with math and needs extra help and doesn't know how to ask for it. And that's why she's dilly-dallying. When we have a certain belief, we will not have any curiosity or compassion or further investigation. We'll immediately see this as more evidence of this belief being true. There are 12 core negative beliefs that keep us stuck in a cycle of suffering.

If you want to know what your core beliefs are that are keeping you stuck and reprogram them with me in real time, I'm running a live workshop called Belief Reset. Comment waitlist below to join that waitlist.
