Do you feel that you harbor beliefs about yourself that are sabotaging your success? What if there was a way to get past the Belief Detective that is guarding those old beliefs and not allowing you to become the person you want to?

You may not realize this, but your beliefs are assumptions, explanations, and conclusions you've adopted throughout your life starting in infancy. They become the rules that shape your perception of the world. They become so ingrained, due in part to your experiences that seem to prove their accuracy. So you think they are truth, when in fact they are not.

We've all known children that have grown up in the same household that have turned out totally different from each other. How can that be? It's because the beliefs that they form are based on how they interpret their environment, not on the environment itself. If the children are left alone a lot, one may become fiercely independent because they believe that they learned to take care of themselves. The other child might feel rejected and become needy and end up searching for the love they feel they missed out on. It's the same environment, but a different interpretation of the environment leads to different beliefs.

Our beliefs about our world are the very foundation upon which we view the world. It is our truth. It's hard to move forward in life if our beliefs limit us. They totally define our world. Anything that challenges a deeply rooted belief will meet with great resistance. I know that anytime I start to grow, it feels like I have this internal battle going on. It seems like I have this Belief Detective who is standing guard so that anytime one of my beliefs feels threatened, the Belief Detective lashes out.

I'm sure you've experienced a time in your life when your negative beliefs have kept you stuck. If you believe you always get the short end of the stick, that's what you will get. Your subconscious will help to prove you right by giving you examples of how you always get the short end. But in truth, we all have many positive beliefs as well or we'd never get anything done. Most of these beliefs lay hidden in our subconscious and we never even know they are there until we try to do something that threatens that belief. Then trying to change them becomes very challenging.

Sometimes old beliefs that no longer serve any purpose dissolve on their own and are replaced with more productive beliefs. (YEAH!) Our work, then, is to uncover and remove the negative beliefs that no longer serve us and are holding us back from achieving all that we desire.

So how do you do that? First you must be willing. You may be holding onto a belief because it has some payoff. Maybe it's keeping you safe, maybe it's proving you right. And every time you do something to change it, the Belief Detective stops you. For example, for awhile I used affirmations, which are positive statements that have been found to be effective in reprogramming unwanted beliefs. But what I found was that I couldn't do them consistently for any length of time, because my Belief Detective was sabotaging my by making me think I was too tired, or didn't have time to do them, or that they were just stupid. I realized that I needed to find a way to bypass this Belief Detective.

I just had to find a way, so I tried meditation, visualization, hypnosis and a lot of other stuff with some limited success, but the excuses would always creep back in and I'd stop doing them. What finally worked for me was to set my affirmations into short, catchy little tunes. Have you ever heard a jingle on TV or the radio that played in your head all day long? Well, I used that phenomenon and created short little jingles with affirmation statements in them. They would run all day long in the back of my mind over and over. I called them AttitudeZapz!

Has there ever been a time when you've argued with yourself about song lyrics? Not very likely. Also scientific studies have proven that by keeping the critical part of the the mind, the conscious mind, occupied by music, the uncritical subconscious will be able to accept the affirmations without filtering them. There's no little voice inside your head telling you it's not true. And once these little affirmation jingles get stuck in your head, you can sing them on autopilot and you don't even have to wonder if you believe the words or not. They just melt right into your subconscious mind with no effort at all.

Ha! I'd finally found a way to stop the Belief Detective. It's so easy and because of that, I've been able to grow amazingly fast and you can as well. You can put your affirmations to music too if you want to, but if you'd like some help, why not give AttitudeZapz! a try and put that Belief Detective out of a job.
