Stepping into the present moment gives us the space to proactively create the life we desire while simultaneously diminishing our core limiting beliefs.

When I learned that my beliefs were behind the thoughts I was having and the feelings I felt I realised if I changed my beliefs I could also change how I experienced life.

I also learned that beliefs continually reinforce themselves through the experiences they create - the experience made up of our thoughts and feelings.

I saw that these experiences were always related to the original belief. If the belief was negative I would experience negative thoughts and negative feelings; if a belief was positive I would experience positive thoughts and positive feelings.

This belief > thought > feeling > experience process continually reinforces the original belief as the experience it creates has originated from it.

While practicing being in the present moment I noticed that any difficult experience I was having felt easier and less overwhelming, and I also noticed that I had more space to decide if I wanted to keep being in that experience or choose a different experience entirely.

In this episode I share the process I’ve been using to come into the present moment using my feelings and how that has created the space for me to choose a new action which isn’t of the original belief.

Using this process I’ve watched some of my biggest negative beliefs fade away and be replaced by beliefs of positivity, compassion and self-growth.

Highlights and Takeaways

* Beliefs are created from our experiences of the world around us.

* Beliefs dictate the thoughts we have and the feelings we feel.

* Beliefs reinforce themselves through the thoughts and feelings they give rise to.

* A negative belief will create negative thoughts and as a result we feel negative feelings. A positive belief creates positive thoughts and positive feelings.

* Coming into the present moment breaks the energy cycle of our limiting beliefs and provides a space where we can take a new action.

* There’s nothing more we need to do to enter the present moment than becoming aware of our present experience.

* Acceptance is a vital part of present moment awareness, without it we can continue resisting or repressing our experience in this moment.

* Present moment awareness is not an analytical process, it’s an open listening to how we are in this moment.

* We can tell we are in the present moment when we sense any amount of relief or ease from what we are experiencing.

* New action leads to new experiences. From new experiences we begin to build new beliefs. These new beliefs will change the way we think and feel in our lives

* We all have the ability to come into the present moment.

I want to explore how we form beliefs and also how our beliefs are triggered by the events around us, and with awareness of the experience of the thoughts we’re having and the feelings we’re having we can come into the present moment. From that present moment we then have a choice to take a different action, to walk a different way or make a different decision, whatever it is we desire. And it’s the space that’s created by the present moment which allows us to do that, which allows us to make that new decision.

This is where the amazing part is; every time we take that new action we’re starting to build up new beliefs on a different pathway that have nothing to do with our old beliefs, they’re not conditioned by them, they’re not bound by them, and over time these beliefs give rise to new experiences because it’s the belief that is causing particular thoughts and feelings to come up for us.
