“Whether you think you can or can’t, you’re right.” – Henry Ford

Some say that whatever you believe to be true is making up your entire experience here on earth. Whether the people who teach this are right or wrong, my own understandings of beliefs are thus;

A belief is just a thought you keep thinking.

Simple. A belief is nothing more than a thought that you’ve given a lot of attention. It’s easy to create a belief that you must work hard in order to earn money, since that’s what you see with your eyes and experience for yourself.

Your beliefs can be created in two ways… the first being with your 5 senses and the second being with the power of your mind. There are no other ways in which you can form a belief, you either experience it or you utilize your mind to make it true.

So, if you want to install some new beliefs that aren’t “true” to your experience, then you must use the power of your mind to create them. There’s many ways in which you can do this, but here’s a couple for you to start off with.

Think trigger – If a belief is just a thought you keep thinking over and over again, then it should be obvious to you that in order to change it, you must think the new belief over and over again. To begin forming your new beliefs, set yourself some trigger words or objects that you will use to remind you of your new beliefs.

For example: If you want your new belief to be “I have lots of money” then you could set yourself a trigger that whenever you see money in any shape or form you will think about your new belief. This would be a great trigger if you’re a cashier and handle money all day long.

If you don’t see much money in your day to day experience then pick something different that you do see a lot in your experience. Maybe every time you see a flower you can begin thinking about your new belief.

Visualization – This probably doesn’t come as a surprise to you, but if you cannot experience your new belief by using your physical senses then we’re going to have to use some other method to install the new belief. Using visualization is a brilliant way in which you can install your new beliefs as you’re creating the 5 senses in your minds eye.

If you were to give yourself just 10-20 minuets every single day visualizing what you wanted to experience in reality, I personally feel that this alone would bring about manifestation and change your beliefs. The problem is that it’s so simple that most will never do it… these people are stuck with the belief that if it’s easy it probably won’t work.

The only thing you have to lose is your time, so give it a go. My first ever manifestations came about by simply visualizing what I wanted for about 20 minutes a day. It wasn’t long before I had manifested a new relationship and a brand new source of income. Just make sure you don’t ask “where’s my stuff” and instead have fun feeling the feelings of your visualizations.

Experience the stillness within – This moment right now is all you have. The past and the future do not exist, only now exists. By giving your attention to this now moment, you will be eliminating the need for beliefs to exist. Remember, a belief is just a thought that you keep thinking. If you keep giving your attention to the past or the future then you will keep forming beliefs and keep re-enforcing beliefs.

If you remove the need to think about the past and future then you will stop forming beliefs. It’s easier than you think to slip into this present moment and give it your full attention. Anyone can do it and at any time. You just need to focus on something and give it your undying attention. Try focusing on your breathing for just a couple of minutes… thoughts may come and go, but do not encourage them by giving them your attention, give this moment your attention. Feel your breathing. Feel the moment.
