It’s a simple component of how a human mind works—fix your mind on something, and you’ll notice opportunities for that something to be true. You have a certain degree of choice when it comes to what your mind fixes on, i.e., you can practice choosing your beliefs and changing them from unhelpful ones (those that discourage positive action) to helpful ones (those that help you notice opportunities for desirable things to happen).
The worksheet you’ll download below invites you to pick an area of your life and something you’d like to achieve in that area, and then to examine possible helpful and unhelpful beliefs that could impact your ability to perform well. Pay attention to how frequently negative beliefs are present in areas of life in which we struggle to achieve desirable outcomes. How can your imagination help you find more helpful beliefs? What can you do to practice letting go of unhelpful beliefs and incorporating helpful ones in your day-to-day?
Keep in mind: there are many things in life that aren’t in our direct control. Often, it is helpful to not only put pressure on yourself to be better, but to also put pressure on others in society in order to fix a variety of systemic and interpersonal dysfunctions. In either case, however, it is important to examine how your personal beliefs play a role in what is happening. Empower yourself, and model empowerment to others, by choosing beliefs that can help you and lead you to goodness. It is just one step in the process of change, but it is a particularly critical one.
