Putting Shoes On The Right Feet

I wanted to talk to you today about our mindset, about negative beliefs, thoughts that we continue to think that don't serve us and quite frankly make us feel a bit crap.?

Negative beliefs like - I'm not good enough. I'm rubbish with money. Money doesn't grow on trees, things like that.?

Things like - I'm fat, I'm thin, I'm too old, I'm too young. All those negative beliefs actually are just thoughts that we continue to think.??

Now, when these negative beliefs are planted, the seed is planted into our heads. It usually happens in that ONE particular instance. I had one years ago where I dropped something in a shop and mum shouted at me. Telling me how stupid I was, and for some reason, I planted the seed in my head that told myself that I WAS stupid. I can think about that moment now, and I can honestly say that, at that particular moment, it was like I had swapped my shoes over - wearing the left on the right and vice versa.??Uncomfortable. Awkward. Humiliating.

Now that might sound completely crazy. But think about it like this for a minute, how does it feel when you put your shoes on the wrong feet? It feels pretty uncomfortable, doesn't it? But it's not awful. It's just uncomfortable, it just doesn't feel right. That's just like when we get these negative beliefs or plant the negative seeds in our heads. This is what it feels like - yes?

But the problem is if we LEAVE our shoes on the wrong feet, which we do tend to do for years and years - it has that uncomfortable comfortable feeling, that just sort of lives there.

We learn to live with it and we wish it would feel better, but it's not bad enough that we have to do something about it. Or, we can't really work out what's wrong to do something with it.?It just feels uncomfortable and that it is not quite right. Do you know what I mean?

But do you know what? We CAN think about that.?We can actually think about what we feel uncomfortable about, what is in our mindset that is holding us back, making us feel uncomfortable. Try writing it down. Work out what the seed was - when was it first planted?

We can question its truth, question whether that seed you planted in your brain is true.

Then try this, take your uncomfortable, comfortable shoes off and put them on the right feet. I've tried it and actually, it feels really, really good. So have a go.

I would love to know what you think and feel....

Thanks for reading.
