What do you want to change in your own life? Do you know which of your thought patterns are contributing to the unwanted situation? However long you’ve held on to these beliefs, understand that they no longer support you, and it is okay to let them go now. You can manifest a new future for yourself, one filled with joy and love.

When you feel ready to start on the mental work, the following tips will help you examine and transform your beliefs.

1. Discover where you have unconsciously picked up you negative and detrimental messages from. For instance, what are the things you parents said were “wrong” with you? What did they say about money? What did they say about your body? What did they say about love and relationships? If you can, just look objectively at your list and say to yourself, “So that’s where that belief came from.” Remember, you cannot make positive changes in your life until you recognize the beliefs you currently hold.

2. Replace your “shoulds”. I believe that should is one of the most damaging words in our language. Every time we use it, we are, in effect, saying that we are wrong, or we were wrong. Replace should with could.

“give the thought no importance Just see it for what it is – another way to keep yourself stuck in the past.”
