   E9: How Do We Break Free of Beliefs That Tie Us Down?

   Melbourne based success strategist, an empowerment coach, and health professional Mariana Ardelean joins us to discuss the power of beliefs and the impact of conditioning, habits and routine have on our lives.

You will learn: How to adjust your expectations Managing intense emotions and responding to stress in a constructive way Sticking to instinct and overcoming impulsivity How to identify beliefs that are unhelpful Our mind is very powerful and by understanding how we are wired we can consciously choose to live our life aligned with what we value.

When faced with adversity on your life journey, having daily practices will ground you and bring you back to the present moment. You can learn more about Mariana’s book Your Time Is Now and access her free resources on her website www.marianaardelean.com www.facebook.com/marianaardeleanpage/ (http://www.facebook.com/marianaardeleanpage/) TIMESTAMPS: -17:50 Our heart knows before our brain knows decisions that we make and the ‘real truth’ and our soul resides in our heart. We cannot solve a problem with the same thinking that created the problem -22:05 unlock the door that is holding us back to be able to empower ourselves Beliefs will affect the risks you are willing to take, the adventures you are willing to have pursuit of self-realisation and fulfilment in life, it can interfere with our confidence and ability to create the future we want for ourselves and even our health If we have good relationships with ourselves, we will have good relationships with others. If someone believes people are kind and compassionate, they will experience that. if someone believes people are mean and not compassionate…. What we believe is what we experience so that’s why it’s important to question our beliefs Most of the problems come from unmet expectations. Things have to be a certain way for someone to feel good. I need to, I have to, I should. They’re going to be disappointed. -40.50 the moment I started not to engage in his behaviour, accepting him for what he was, and not reacting to his behaviour and that’s when things started to turn around He did not change until I did Create A little gap to pause and CHOOSE TO RESPOND 44:10 Beliefs create our experience of life’, they create the filters through which we see… we can get into the perception of ‘why this is happening is me 49:35 our beliefs don’t necessarily serve us If we don’t know something, if we do not see it for what it is, we filter our reality through our way looking at things in our perspectives, and we do not see anything else that is out of our awareness unless we start to question things. -53:20 for a long time I held onto my beliefs and how the way things should be They are inherited through culture, from our family, our teachers and religion, I could not question things for a long time… once I realised when things weren’t working the way I was expecting… then I started to question… it took me a while… the expectations I had… I was so conditioned…
