Listen "All The Way to the CORE"
Episode Synopsis
Core beliefs are our most fundamental beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world. They are formed in early childhood and are based on our experiences and interactions with the world around us. Core beliefs can be either positive or negative, and they can have a significant impact on our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Positive core beliefs can help us to feel confident, secure, and worthy. They can also help us to be more resilient in the face of challenges. Negative core beliefs, on the other hand, can lead to feelings of insecurity, worthlessness, and hopelessness. They can also make it difficult to cope with stress and adversity.
If you have negative core beliefs, it is important to remember that they are not set in stone. They can be changed with time, effort, and the right support. There are a number of things you can do to strengthen or change your core beliefs, including:
Identifying your core beliefs. The first step to changing your core beliefs is to identify them. What are the things you believe about yourself, others, and the world? Once you are aware of your core beliefs, you can start to challenge them.
Challenging your core beliefs. Once you have identified your core beliefs, you can start to challenge them. Ask yourself if your beliefs are really true. Is there any evidence to support them? Are there any experiences you have had that contradict your beliefs?
Seeking support. If you are struggling to change your core beliefs on your own, it can be helpful to seek professional support. A therapist can help you to identify your core beliefs, challenge them, and develop more positive and helpful beliefs.
Engaging in new experiences. One of the best ways to change your core beliefs is to engage in new experiences. When you have new experiences, you have the opportunity to challenge your beliefs and see the world in a new way.
Practicing self-compassion. It is important to be kind and compassionate to yourself as you work to change your core beliefs. Remember that these beliefs are not your fault. They were formed in early childhood based on your experiences. With time, effort, and support, you can change your core beliefs and live a happier and more fulfilling life.
