A few weeks ago, I met with a new client.
She shared with me the thoughts and anxieties that have been weighing on her, and when I asked her:
“Tell me about a good event you remember, what did you believe about yourself, and how did you feel?” – her eyes lit up.
She smiled and said:
“I believed I could do anything, that I was on top of the world. Like nothing could stop me. And I felt amazing.”
But then she remembered a past relationship.
There, she felt the complete opposite – small, unworthy.
She believed her ex was far more successful than she was, and that she should be grateful to have such a “great” partner.
That belief made her feel worthless – even though, in reality, she’s talented, brave, and full of potential.
And that’s the amazing part – how the same woman can hold two completely different truths.
In one moment – “I can conquer the world.”
In another – “I’m not good enough.”
📌 That’s the power (and the trap) of our beliefs:
They’re not always based on facts, but on past experiences, childhood messages, and the way others treated us.
✨ The good news? Beliefs can be changed.
When we examine them and notice which ones move us forward – and which ones keep us small – we begin to write a new story.
🌱 As the New Year approaches, I invite you to ask yourself:
Which belief are you ready to let go of?
And which belief do you want to choose to carry with you forward?
If you’d like to discover how this actually works in practice – I invite you to a free 30-minute introductory call.
You’ll also find personalized therapy packages waiting for you on my website.
I’ve attached a photo I thought connects to this theme – it was taken by my daughter.
