    A simple 3 step framework to help you shift your belief systems

    1. Ask, check in with your body and test the new belief by asking yourself do I believe this while holding your hand over your heart. If you can feel your heartbeat then its a yes. Then take some time to download the new belief into your body. If you cant feel your heartbeat then something is misaligned. 
    2. Take the action to show your body that it's safe to believe that
    3. Get really clear on the belief and share it with someone you trust
