The Hell Loop of Limiting Beliefs
the after life of our current existence
Do you ever feel that something you can't seem to do it’s not about the activity itself, but more about how you see it?
Like getting up early, you could feel that your authority is telling you 'No', your body is not ready. And indeed it isn't, but it's not about the time of the day, it's because you don't feel like you're contributing to something, so there is no healthy pressure. Or you feel like you're avoiding something and don't confront the fear or root issue behind the dreading routine of marching towards the hell-loop.
It has been more than a few times where in order for me to see real change in regards to something important in my life or my routines, the change itself depended more on the way I structured it and the story I'd create around it, rather than the situation.
Motivation plays a huge part in change, and then Discipline is the one that takes over because it doesn't rely on Motivation anymore, but in repetition instead. However, we forget how much discipline we have for the things that are not for our best benefit. That's why I don't see Discipline as an enemy or authority anymore, it is simply the habitual rhythm we carry regarding some of our actions.
how do you change a limiting belief?
Limiting in the concept of "not being able to change" a non-expansive thought that keeps repeating over and over again.
Shows like 'The Good Place' and 'Lucifer' even though they don't change my thoughts on the after-life, they mostly question my perspective on my actual life, the one I'm living. So I ask you: What is your hell-loop?
What would be that dreading scene that repeats in your life in infinite replays showing you scenes of the most triggering situations in your life where you indeed have the control to change course but you feel like you can't? You can't because your survival feels more important, your reputation, your ego. But later realize that your survival actually depends on the changes you make because evolving is the only way to keep on existing.
Are our limiting beliefs a hell-loop? The threat of change in fear of not making it? Not knowing how the change feels and therefore avoiding it despite all of the constant proof that is doesn't feel ok.
Perspective changes everything
The moment we realize that the pain itself is not what we fear but what we think the pain is; that's what keeps us from surrender. The mere thought of not knowing, anything at all.
So in moments of change the real question is: What pain I am willing to give more power to? The pain of the known or the pain of the unknown?
If you knew that pain was inevitable, which one would you choose?
