 In this video, I'm going to talk about core beliefs and why finding out what you think and believe about yourself at the core of who you are Why that's so so important? Start off here. I'm going to ask you a question. I just want you to think about this What would it be like if you were to really? Realize and accept really know that who you are at the core of your very being is Okay Who you are at the very core of your being is fundamentally enough Fundamentally acceptable Fundamentally good core beliefs Are the thing that probably determines our life more than anything else and these core beliefs are the beliefs that Show up again and again in different ways. They're triggered by different different things in life But for some of us, you know, it could be about not feeling good enough could be a core belief that's in there I'll never make enough money. I'll never meet anybody etc etc these core beliefs that we have and The thing is these core beliefs are Not really who we are They are sort of a layer that masks who we really are at the core of our being So to get to that core is tricky if it's covered up with this layer of Limiting limiting beliefs or negativity about who we are or who we think we are the thing about it is who you are at the core of your being is so important because if You're in in touch with who that is the fundamental Okay-ness of that who you are at the at the center of your being All these sort of issues that we have in life that surround our life all the little problems and weaknesses and perceived difficulties that we have about ourselves all of those things can be accepted They don't become defining of who we are if we're in touch with who we are at the core of our being If that part of us is sensed as Perfectly enough. That's okay Because if we if we are in touch with that these these surrounding little issues that we have We see the more as little things to be well I could work on that and I could look at that and I could do something with that but always with an awareness and an understanding of Even if that doesn't change I'm still okay. My life can still be okay as it is Sure, I might like to change a few of these little things. I might like to grow look at them But if we don't have a sense of who we are at the very core of our being is already okay and enough these external little problems that we have become The way we define ourselves So any efforts we make to look at these or to change anything in these areas becomes a very very scary and intimidating task to take on so It's a readiness to sit with Okay, maybe I do have some problems. Maybe I do have some issues But do my issues define me who I am Do my problems define me do my Perceived weaknesses define who I am the core belief essentially what I'm saying here that we really need to look at is I'm not enough There's something fundamentally wrong with me and Until I change this and this and that thing I Can't be happy or I can't have a functioning peaceful life a Valuable life in which I feel like I'm receiving and contributing to to the world So this belief comes up again and again It can be as long as it's there you get triggered and get triggered by other people it get triggered by social situations It can get triggered by your bank account. You can get triggered by Every time you look in the mirror, you'll see something that reflects that inner belief that's there And when we're working with core beliefs what I tell people is okay You can inquire into this into the truthfulness of this belief that there's something wrong with me I'm not enough and You might do some inquiry in that core belief and you might feel a sense of relief to see well maybe there's not as much to this as I thought and A day goes by and the core belief comes right back in again even after you did all this work on it and The thing with a core belief is that this is a really important thing sometimes it takes repetitive work on a core belief before it can start to soften and fade off so I've known people to do work on core beliefs for months and that's consistent work on core beliefs and I really tell people like Look at this core belief. It's been coming up for for years here Conditioned to believe this core belief the story about myself So don't be afraid if it keeps resurfacing in fact That's the best thing that could possibly happen because it means now it can really start to do a little bit more work on this and Look at this core belief that I'm carrying Ultimately when it does fade off what you're left with is who are you at the core of your being and it may be It may not feel like it resonates with you right now Perhaps but who you are at the core of your being is Okay It doesn't need to change It can be open to working on things and looking at things but from a secure foundation of it's okay I'm okay now. Okay. I don't have to change anything So we need that security before we can actually even start to think about any of these additional Changes that are that are good that are fine, but they're not defining. Okay So don't be afraid to look at a core belief again and again If it if it's going to come up because the more it comes up We can't actually do anything with it until it comes up it gets triggered by something and it shows itself so Core beliefs are very very important But it is possible to change core beliefs because it's really just conditioning We've believed it for so long and we've told it to ourselves for so long often unconsciously almost always unconsciously So it gets triggered by something It's just a conditioned pattern of thought Right and we need to just look at it for a while until we start to let it down Ultimately, we pick up these core beliefs and The problem is we believe that is by holding on to them. That's the thing that makes us safe There's actually a feeling of insecurity or anxiety that comes up when we start to experiment which is putting it down Because we've learned that to talk to ourselves in this way is actually a safety strategy for us Doesn't make you a bad person if you have a core belief like I think most of us have some kind of a negative core belief really so what we're all trying to do I think is Use the opportunities when they do surface and Realize, okay. It's okay. If I'm if I'm resistant to putting this down That's a completely the natural response because somewhere in the past I learned that I have to believe this about myself if I'm going to be safe So be patient with ourselves is what I'm saying too when we're working at these core beliefs, but ultimately they will change They'll lead to external changes to in life Healthier environments healthier relationships, which will again reinforce this new perspective or this original perspective of ourselves before maybe trauma came on board Which is I'm fine. I'm okay the way I am and it's free now to express who I am Express my authentic personality to others So guys, I hope that's a useful piece of information here about core beliefs Ultimately, if we can get to the point where we realize who I fundamentally am is okay right now That's what we're aiming for So thanks for being with me today, and I'll see you again in the next video. Bye for now
