Greetings!
This post is about LIMITING-BELIEFS, or as me and my brother Matt now call them, Old Thought Thoughts - OTT.
---
This post will most likely not appeal to many people, because I am writing about our beliefs that we have about life and ourselves, that we all have had for much of our life.
Our beliefs are personal, and yet oddly the 'same' as well.
---
There is a school of thought that teaches us that when we identify the OTT i.e. I am unlovable.
Relate to the OTT, rather than from it.
We can then release the attachment to the OTT, as well as the aversion to the OTT.
For example -
A child is told that they are no good, useless and worthless, every other day.
-sadly, this is a story often told, by many.
As this child grows a set of OTT have been programmed into the mind-body of the now grown adult-child.
I am no good.
I am useless.
I am worthless.
etc etc etc
The adult-child now has an attachment to the OTT.
But also you would see an aversion to those OTT as well.
I am no good <- the attachment.
And, I hate that I am no good <- the aversion. The judgement for having the OTT in the first place, keeps us attached to the OTT.
---
Not all beliefs are limiting.
All beliefs are fluid.
They are mutable - liable to change, as all things in existence are!
But...
How do we release the OTT?
Thats what we're most interested in!.
I am going to share a few things of how I am learning to release all of the OTT that once ruled my life, and would love to read yours as well!.
1) Refer to the OTT being in the past. If we keep on affirming the OTT in the present moment, it stays in the present moment. By writing and talking about the OTT being in the past, youre correcting the memory. REWIRE!
2) I AUGMENT positive memories. Whatever they are, whenever they happened. This is why I actively look for things to be thankful and grateful for. Appreciation, heals! And thats now science...if youre interested in the research about this, let me know!
3) I have learned to ask for help, and to RECEIVE it graciously, whenever it comes to me. And, it always does.
4) I SMILE and LAUGH more. Theres research for this too!
5) I have changed my eating habits. I EAT WELL now. I am now on the Guts and Psychology Syndrome foodplan GAPS. I used to be obese. No more.
6) I EXPRESS in healthy ways - dance, music, write..
7) I take time out to LOVE - my family, friends, my dog bundy, nature..
REMEMBERING to LOVE is a biggie!.
And, whatta 'bout you?...

My recovery was faster than expected all due to your belief in me and the world in all its glory.
I think the path is clear for your return.
Forever your brother
