Reply To: Exercise 8: Adopt a New Belief
Changing Beliefs
1. Did your initial candidate belief feel fake? Did that feeling change?
No. This is not a new concept for my life. It is a new process by which to choose alternative stories.
2. Did you feel like you could not just change “a” belief but beliefs in general?
Yes.
3. Did you sense how your mind adopts beliefs and changes them?
Yes
4. Where and how might you apply your experience to the rest of your life.
It was a reminder to me to consciously review what my beliefs are when I’m feeling an emotion that I would call negative and playfully/intentionally/creatively explore alternatives.
