HAVE AN ARGUMENT WITH YOURSELF

Just because you believe something, doesn’t make it true. Many beliefs which we have held for years – often since childhood – sabotage our resilience. Start challenging the beliefs which are holding you back.

Psychologists recommend judging your beliefs on four criteria. Firstly, look at the evidence. Does it support or negate your belief? If your partner leaves you and you begin to question your worth, focus on the evidence that disputes this. Secondly, consider the alternatives. Rather than latching on to the bleakest explanation for a bad event, find a more positive explanation. Thirdly, what are the implications? When faced with a setback, try not to draw negative conclusions. And finally, think about usefulness. Question the utility of your beliefs – even the most negative situations can have hidden gifts in the end.

So, whenever you recognize beliefs that are holding you back, try replacing them with new, more empowering ones.
