Exploring What You Believe to Be True About the World

Beliefs are feelings of certainty about what something means. We all have thousands of beliefs that perhaps aren't even aware of. Some of these beliefs support us in our journey creating our ideal life, other beliefs hold us back and even sabotage us.

For example, the belief that all people are out to get you... what kind of life do you think a person with this belief would experience? Compare that person's experience with someone  who believes all people have within them the capacity for kindness. Do you think they would experience people differently?

Do you think each of these people would experience different qualities of relationships?

In this belief audit take the time to write down what you feel is true about these questions. Don't  think too much about what your writing...if you can write what comes to mind, rather than what you think a "good" answer would be, you'll get more value from this exercise later on.
