What are some beliefs you have discovered that were limiting, wrong, unfair, or downright destructive to yourself, a segment of the population, or humanity as a whole?
Slave owners had certain beliefs, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) have certain beliefs, those who don’t believe in gender equality, in equal pay for men and women, interracial or same sex marriages… they have a set of beliefs.
Here are three ways to debunk beliefs that no longer serve you:
ONE:
Where does a certain belief that doesn’t serve you come from?
First, a belief is simply a thought we keep thinking. Nothing more.
Why would you want to get rid of a belief?
The first thing to do is understand how we came to believe something that is no longer serving us.
Who passed it down to us?
Who said that something was so… whatever it is?
For example, women should not ask men to marry them.
If you’re not married by a certain age you’re an old maid/spinster?
If it didn’t come from you, why should you keep it?
TWO:
How long have you held on to, and practiced this belief? The longer it’s been, the longer it may take to get rid of, depending on what it is.
A belief we’ve been believing for a long time is like a tall thick tree. No matter how much you push on it with your hands, you will not be able to topple it. But if you start chipping away at its trunk with an ax or a saw, little by little it will start to weaken its trunk. That’s all it takes… a sway in the wind, a wobble in its balance… it’s the same with debunking a long held belief… you can debunk it and topple it over!!
IMPORTANT:
If you are in an abusive relationship and you don’t feel safe,
