256: How to Change a Belief That's Holding You Back

Published: July 26, 2018, 8 a.m.

b'I just wrapped up my three-week trip traveling through Europe and phew \\u2013 it definitely rocked my world! Yes, the experiences were amazing, but as a person who loves her rituals and who has habits that are deeply engrained, it felt a bit daunting at first. If I would have taken this trip five years ago, I would have left 20 pounds heavier because I would have just given it the all-or-nothing approach. Anyone else?\\n \\xa0\\n The difference of taking this trip now? Even though my life was tipped upside down in terms of bedtime, food, drinks and activity, I made a conscious effort to figure it out. In order to do this though I had to give up the belief that it would be impossible for me to feel good and happy.\\n \\xa0\\n \\u201cIn order to change a habit, you have to change a belief. And in order to change a belief, you have to change a habit.\\u201d\\n \\xa0\\n Spoiler Alert: I feel amazing! \\u201cControl freak\\u201d Lori went on a vacation of her own! And it\\u2019s all because I figured out how to let go and surrender.\\n \\xa0\\n Here are five things that help me change a limiting habit or belief\\u201d\\n \\xa0\\n You have to believe that whatever you\\u2019re desiring is possible for you. For me, it meant applying an abundance mindset to everything. I don\\u2019t have to eat ALL this amazing food or have multiple drinks because I know there will be more tomorrow and I can have some then, too.\\n\\n Gather evidence of why it\\u2019s possible. Look at the people and culture around you. Why can\\u2019t this be possible for me?\\n\\n Gather evidence of how you\\u2019ve been lying to yourself about the other belief to keep yourself safe.\\n Look at why you\\u2019re afraid to believe something is different. Surrendering can be scary, but sometimes certainty can be worse. \\u201cSurrender opens the door to something that changes your life.\\u201d \\n\\n Do that new thing/habit/belief for as long as you need to until something shifts. It won\\u2019t happen overnight, but don\\u2019t stop just because it\\u2019s uncomfortable \\u2013 keep at it.\\n \\xa0\\n I challenged myself the entire three weeks I was gone, but as I stated above, I feel great \\u2013 and I ate and drank what I wanted and walked a ton. Will I keep up with the late suppers, nights and overall structure? Maybe about 30% to allow myself a bit more freedom, but my new rule of thumb?\\n \\xa0\\n \\u201cIf it feels good, explore it.\\u201d\\n \\xa0\\n I encourage you to do the same by challenging your beliefs and doing it until you feel a shift, too.\\n \\xa0\\n \\xa0\\n --\\n In This Episode Lori talks about:\\n \\xa0\\n How Lori busted through her habits and beliefs\\n Figuring out the art of letting go and surrendering\\n Five things that go into changing a habit or belief\\n \\xa0\\n Resources:\\n \\xa0\\n Go to ATribeCalledBliss.com to find out the latest on Lori\\u2019s book and join the world\\u2019s biggest tribe book club\\n A Tribe Called Bliss by Lori Harder\\n Now available at loriharder.com/amazon or ATribeCalledBliss.com\\n Join me on the A Tribe Called Bliss Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1571018952966750/\\n \\xa0\\n Check out my website at loriharder.com.
