Overcome Self-Limiting Beliefs
Your origin is divine and therefore so are you; all else is the cobweb. By Emil Nazaryan
Are you happy, energetic and vibrant 100 percent of the time? If not, there is a reason for it. There’s something within blocking access to the ever-present field of happiness. What is it? To find out, merely ask yourself what causes you worry, what are you afraid of, what are you lacking? Are you worried about money? Health? A relationship issue? Lack of confidence to go for what you want? Do you think you’re not as smart or capable as others? Answers will flow to your mind. Those answers, or rather those thoughts, are in truth the blocks to your happiness. They are your self-limiting beliefs. Let’s take a moment and see how and when they came into existence. When you were born, you had no such beliefs. You had no such thoughts. In fact, the first year you had no thoughts at all. You just were, and that was more than enough. That’s why your every smile and every laugh was a source of inexplicable joy for your parents and others around you. Your happiness was pure, genuine and therefore contagious.

Depending on how and where you were raised, your entire belief system was shaped, one belief at a time. Like a cobweb, thoughts of lack, inadequacy and fear were woven over that pure little being. Of course, this wasn’t done intentionally to hurt you, but because the environment didn’t know any better.

Not only do your thoughts about yourself define your reality, but they create your reality. Every thought and feeling you have ever encountered has led you to where you are in your life today. Now comes the question that will change your life. Are you those thoughts? Who are you? Pause for a second. Stop all
thoughts, sit silent and just be. Feel a soft, sweet breeze passing through your entire body, leaving the unmistakable stamp of its origin—a warm smile on your face. You smile, then smile wider, and you feel a flow of radiant, vibrant, bright energy throughout your body and mind. It feels like someone is tickling the top of your brain which creates a sensation of pure happiness. All of a sudden you get a sense of dropping a heavy baggage off your shoulders, the baggage that you’ve been carrying for years. This leads to feelings of relief, lightness and peace. You feel like a happy, weightless feather dancing with the wind, unconcerned where it takes you because you are fully enjoying the dance. Light. Relaxation. Serenity. Freedom. Congratulations! You just got a glimpse of your true self. That free, eternal, ever-present, all-powerful spirit is who you are. Your origin is divine and therefore so are you. All else is the cobweb, which you are not. So, now that you have started to unravel the cobweb and found that the real you is still there, how can you go about reprogramming yourself? It has
