When most people think of beliefs, they think about “limiting beliefs” yet beliefs also have the power to heal. This starts within and is aided by the woman or man who is an experienced coach. Why? Beliefs are part of a system of thoughts that go on and on. It’s difficult to break this cycle from the inside because it’s so automatic. Having a coaching conversation can lead to questions that open the doorway to healing. Yes you pass through the limiting thoughts but that is not the destination. With a “guide” you travel on to a place of understanding that brings you peace, freedom and healing.
Here’s an example: Imagine being eight years old and having a homework assignment to write a poem. So you finish the poem, your first, and you are very proud. The next day when called upon to read it at school, you stand in front of your classmates and read it. You beam. Then, a shocking thing occurs. From the back of the room, your teacher stands and screams, “Who wrote that? I know you didn’t!” She is angry. You are humiliated, embarrassed, confused, and numb – in front of your classmates.
What limiting beliefs might be triggered from that event? Here are some possibilities:
- I am a dumb liar.
- Adults are not to be trusted.
- I am unworthy.
- I hate speaking in public.
And how to create a healing belief from this disaster? 1) It begins with getting out of your comfort zone and speaking to someone who has experience in guiding people on their healing path. 2) Be authentic in communicating your hurtful belief thoughts to her or him. 3) Remember the definition of a belief. “A BELIEF IS NOT A FACT. We only act like it is”. 4) Talk about this to your coach, a great one who won’t let you off the hook and wants you to win in life. 5) Reframe, take action, trust your vision for your future.
I am a master coach. My clients tell me that they experience a sense of relief, freedom and peace in working with me. They are more productive in their work and happier. I wish the same for you. I imagine how the world would be if everyone lived their dream and do all that I can to make this happen.
