Shifting Perspectives: Finding Love by Releasing Old Beliefs
Our brains are wired to find evidence that supports what we believe. These beliefs are the meanings we create from our life experiences, shaping how we perceive the world. This ability to find meaning is a powerful gift that distinguishes us from other animals, residing in the executive functioning part of our brain.
However, we also have an instinctual, more primitive part of our brain—the amygdala. If we haven’t trained our brain to question and balance our perceptions, we can become highly reactive to stimuli. This often happens because many of us carry unresolved trauma in our subconscious, distorting our present reality.
Consider this: At 11 years old, you watched your dad get cut off in traffic. His angry outburst, declaring that “people are all assholes,” imprinted on your young mind. For the next 20 years, you unconsciously gathered evidence to support this belief, seeing rudeness everywhere and becoming bitter in the process.
Fortunately, a friend sees your misery and suggests coaching. Through this, you finally recognize the underlying belief—that people are inherently rude—and realize it’s not true. In a transformative moment, your perception shifts from hostility to love, simply because you start focusing your mind on finding love instead of negativity.
I Affirm: Today, I choose to live in a loving world and actively seek out evidence of that love. And I am willing to be a source of love wherever I go.
