The five W's of beliefs that run our lives



Our whole lives are based on beliefs. Some may take us forward and some may hold us back. But some beliefs that we may not even realize we had, have enough power to turn our lives upside down with recurring patterns, repeated problems and even self sabotages that can wreck havoc. 

We are left holding thoughts like 'why does this always happen to me'? 'Things never work for me' 'I am so unlucky' 'I'll never find love' "I'll never have money' etc. 

These thoughts further power those beliefs and the loop stays on. 

Like I've mentioned in an earlier article about beliefs and patterns even the smallest of words/experience from our childhood can have a huge impact in our adult lives, especially if it has caught us at our most vulnerable time. 

To release a belief, we have to identify it and here are five questions you can ask yourself that can help you:

What do I believe?
Why do I believe it?
When did I start believing this?
Where is the origin of this belief? 
Who made me believe this?

The answer to your 1st question is always the story you tell yourself, when something goes wrong. The rest of the questions will need you to dig a little deeper for answers. Once you reach the roots of the belief you hold, pulling it out will be much simpler.

Try it out. You may be able set yourself free from at least some redundant beliefs that no longer serve you.

Control your emotions?

  An often misunderstood sentence is 'Control your emotions before your emotions control you'. A lot of us unfortunately try to resist feeling the emotions, mistaking them for control. Others feel them but push them inside. Both ways are almost always counter-productive. It is impossible to control anything without even acknowledging its presence in the first place. All emotions are beautiful, they are our guides. They help us find our answers. They help us connect, they help us bond, they help us understand and they help us express.  The problem is only when we let them slip away from us, or when we cannot stop feeling a certain way or get so carried away in an emotion that it feels like going down a never-ending slippery slope.  So an easier way of controlling our emotions is to first simply pause and try to understand why we are feeling a certain way. To do that we first have to accept and acknowledge we are feel...

Weave gratitude into your life

We all know the power of gratitude. We all know, the more we have to be thankful for, the more we have opportunities to be thankful for. This is possibly one of the most well-known mantras since the time people understood the concept of the law of attraction. But still, the moment we get caught up in our daily life, gratitude more often than not slips way back into our priority lists. Have you noticed that the only time you are holding on to the attitude of gratitude is when you are present in the here and now?  So accepted and acknowledged that we in our daily lives have enough attractions, distractions, to-do lists, not-to-do lists, etc. which all come together from making sure we are all not always in a state of gratitude.  The universe is very smart, it has given us the tool to achieve so many things, but also made sure the only way we can use it is by being present....

Create a gratitude group

After my last post 'Weave gratitude into your life', one of the main questions I was asked was how to ensure being present. As I mentioned in the previous article, we have no shortage of distractions in our everyday life as every single second, minute, and hour slips away from us before we even realize it is gone.  I also gave a method by which we can consciously focus on being grateful throughout the day.  In this article, I want to suggest another method that can possibly be even more fun in our journey towards a more grateful living. Get a group of friends you can connect with and create a gratitude group. You can help each other and guide each other to stay on the path of gratitude. You can even help each other notice more things to be grateful for.  Even if, in a group of 3-4 people, each can have 2 things to be grateful for twice a week, it is a good place to start.  There are times when some of us feel ...
