Are you living your dream? Or dreams? If not it might have something to do with mind blocks due to programing. Whoa! What the heck does that mean? Well, if you were raised in a climate of working a job until you retire and living in the same house until you die and having just enough fun per year (a two week vacation), that’s the kind of programing I’m talking about. This can look like anything really, whatever you were raised to believe by either family or community standards.

Discover your programing when you write it out. Your beliefs are most often a result of your programing at some point. Start a list of your beliefs about work, play, spirituality, retirement, climates, sports etc. The list can go on and on. Once you make that list, think about why you believe each one of those things. As an example, I always believed that if you laid around and took a nap on a weekend day or slept in, you were a very lazy person. I could hear my Dad saying “you can sleep when your dead, get up there’s work to do”. I associated my being tired was even as a sign that I was lazy! I fought that feeling forever and even to this day I sometimes find myself making an excuse for needing to rest! Good grief!

After you figure out where the belief came from then ask yourself, “Do I need this belief? Is it right for me”? If it is no longer serving you or never has for whatever reason, what would you rather believe? I had to decide that I would rather believe that people need rest and we need to listen to our bodies and minds when we are tired. Self care was never a “good” thing per say in my early life. I often felt like I should come last after everything and everyone else. I’m not saying my family intentionally put that in my head and my interpretation of it might have even been off kilter but that is what I got out of it. This belief system has caused me much grief. I wish I could say that was all a very long time ago! I still have times that I fall back into it.

Finding the beliefs that you still love is also a great thing, such as, family traditions, closeness to extended family members, places you live and love etc., you know, things that bring you comfort and peace. Doing this process will free your mind to make changes to the beliefs that are not great and help you realize what you would rather believe would be better. I can report that if I want a nap I take one and there is no guilt…well mostly none! I move into new houses a lot because I love change and I thrived on experiencing different careers. None of that stuff was part of my original belief programing!
