Belief Changing

Erika Slater headshot photo 300x300

Belief changing is about recognizing we limit what we achieve by our beliefs – limiting beliefs – and doing something about it to change.

We are not born with beliefs but acquire them during childhood through experiences and the environment in which we grow up. Many of our beliefs come from our parents and immediate family. The fact that we “learn them” provides an opportunity to “unlearn” those that are limiting and replace them with beliefs that support our personal growth.

But belief changing not only supports self-improvement it also helps overcome poor habits and addictions, health and wellness aspirations, and treatments we would not otherwise consider to resolve barriers and stubborn challenges holding us back.

The selection of materials you’ll find here provide help in starting down the path of changing beliefs that no longer support you.

Enjoy the articles.

How to Get a Natural Anti-Aging Attitude to Feel Younger

By Erika Slater
Portrait of a smiling senior woman

There is a term that exists in today’s society referred to as ‘ageism’. Personally, I consider this term condescending in its tone as it refers to older people in a negative, stereotypical manner. It assumes when you reach a certain age you’re ‘past it.’ What does “past it” even mean in today’s society? Past what? Young people picture seniors as needing walking canes, inflexible and bent over, and shuffling along both in the house and outside. The sun has set on them. When people are called weak, feeble, frail, and even useless just because they’re ‘older’, they’re being labeled based on this stereotype. This is both wrong and sad! But what is even sadder is when older people ‘buy” into this stereotype, believing it to be the truth they start behaving and living accordingly. Image is one thing, but attitude is everything. Let’s explore together how to get to the right attitude…

Overcoming the Fear of Money – Breaking Deep-Rooted Barriers

By Erika Slater
Fear of Money Concept Image

What are your personal thoughts on money? Were you ever told when you were a kid, or even reminded today that “Money is the root of all evil?” Perhaps you were told when you were younger that “Money does not grow on trees!” which led to a mindset that money is really difficult to acquire. If that isn’t enough, some people have been led to believe those who have the most money are born with a “silver spoon” in their back pocket, therefore having lots of money is an entitlement right. Still more folks have bought into the notion if people are rich, then they must have acquired their wealth perhaps through illegal activities or immoral or unethical ways. News media tends to focus on the bad things people do with, or to get, money, rather than the good things – news about good things people do doesn’t seem to get viewers! But it does tend to promote the idea there is more bad things going on with money than good. Of course, this isn’t true. Read more…

What words are you using to create your realities? Remember, thoughts eventually become things, spoken words are thoughts. Are you creating your life wisely?

Our Mental Blueprints – DNA for the Soul

By Erika Slater
Mental DNA Concept Image

All of the physical and even some non-physical traits such as temperament and mental health, were formed in you before you were even born. What’s really interesting about DNA is that no two people have the same DNA. That’s correct, you’re an original, wonderfully made like no other of the 7 billion people living on the face of this earth, and they’ll never be another person like you. This is your genetic blueprint. Individuals also possess mental/cognitive blueprints as well based on how they think, feel and act which eventually lead to their behaviors. Cognitive is a fancy word used to encompass all that goes into how we individually think, understand, reason, learn and remember knowledge and information. The fact is two people will process the same information differently and arrive at different conclusions influenced by their mental blueprints. Ready to dive in and discover more…

Pattern Interrupt – Breaking the Habit

By Erika Slater
Break Bad Habits Concept Image

Are you a creature of habit, hooked on always doing the same thing over and over, or repeating the same habits even though you know they are detrimental? Have you ever been told by someone close to you; a family member, spouse, friend, co-worker, a counselor, that if you continue to do things the way you’re currently doing them you’re headed toward more mediocrity, perhaps even disaster? Albert Einstein said it best when he came up with his famous definition of insanity–doing things the same way over and over, and hoping for, or expecting different results. If you have been engaging in this form of thought process, or acting out the same way, you’d think by now you’d see different results. Have you? I’m guessing you haven’t. Thinking is a habit. In fact it can be either a good habit or a bad habit depending on the outcome. Your feelings and behaviors are also habitual when you think the same way, even if that certain way of thinking is destructive. Read more here…

Crossroads of Life Concept Image

Where are you at in your life right now? Perhaps the better question should be is; Are you living the life of your dreams? When asked this question, too many people assert that they are living a life filled with regrets and disappointment. Some say that the “best part of living” is behind them, or that they are “too old to start” something new, or something they have always dreamed about doing. How does someone know that they are too old to change things up and rewrite their life story? What if someone is sixty, does that make them too old? Read more here…
