What We Believe About Ourselves

It’s funny what we believe about ourselves.  I am getting a “Makeover.”  First I had to look at my facial features and decide what category I fell into.  I chose the one with the “lump of clay nose.”  My makeover artist asked me why I chose it and I said “because I have a big nose.”  She looked at me so funny and said, “no you don’t.” My rebuttal, “yes I do.” We continued this for awhile until she showed me a picture I sent her before the makeover.  She had me look at my nose, I still saw big.  What I realized through this?  Someone in my past told me I had a big nose and I should wear my hair high on top to distract from it.  I believed it.  I believed it so much that when I looked in the mirror I saw a big nose.  How does this happen?  My belief system is so strong that when faced with truth I couldn’t believe it, even when I saw it, because the brain is seeing what we believe, not what is the truth.  It made me wonder what else I am  believing that is not true?   This was such a revelation because I believed it but didn’t voice it so friends couldn’t correct me or point it out.  It was so deep set. What are you believing about yourself that just isn’t true?

I’m too old?  I couldn’t do that? Good things never happen to me?

What ever it is, when you catch it…challenge it… because your brain will believe it if that is what you are telling it and that is what you will see.  Try changing the dialog in your head.

You are beautiful and good things want to happen for you!!

Live What you Love,
