024 - The Belief Loop Trap

Imagine the amound of information your brain takes in every second. From your eyes to your skin to your internal organs and beyond, it's massive. Your brain then has to take all of this information, filter it down to what it deems relevant, and THEN decide what to do based on this data. How does it do that? By running it through a filter of beliefs. A difference of beliefs can make the same data be applied to a very different decision. In turn, this different decision can create a radically different outcome. That's great when it's working right, but when you're not getting the results you want... something needs to change. We like to try to change our behaviors, but we're better off changing the filters that cause the behaviors in the first place. That starts with our beliefs.
