How my core beliefs transformed my life:

It’s kind of a crazy concept but I don’t know who I would be without my core beliefs. My core beliefs shape who I am, they are why I get up every single day, why I try to do better and be better, why I choose to live instead of survive, why I care about my mind/body/soul. I am not so sure who I am without them.

Core beliefs come from within. They are for you to decide and choose to invite into your life. They aren’t told by someone else to you, they aren’t put on you without your consent, and they aren’t found without a deep dive into who you are and who you want to be. 

So the big kicker here is that you first have to figure out what your core beliefs are.

It took me a long time to develop my core beliefs. The first thing I had to do was unlearn any belief or pattern I was holding onto from my upbringing that I no longer aligned with… and boy did that take some work. I had to figure out how I wanted to show up in the world and be my full, authentic self. There was no more trying to hide who I am or who I chose to love. There was no more pretending that I was okay when I clearly wasn’t. This was a time of pure vulnerability, wearing the clothes I wanted to wear, cutting my hair, loving my girlfriend out loud. 

Over the years as I grew more and more confident in who I was, I knew I had to protect that. My confidence was the one thing I knew people couldn’t steal from me. So I started keeping track of all the little details, ways of thinking, and mindsets that helped influence that confidence. I figured out that what I ate during my day played a big role in my energy levels. I learned that how I started my day had a massive effect on my perspective. I learned how to unfollow and stay away from people who made me feel less than. I cut off toxic relationships and swore to myself to never let someone have so much power over me again….buh-bye. I learned how important it was to turn off and get myself into nature so I could feel grounded and secure.

In short…I stopped living my life on auto-pilot and chose to take control.   

Thus naturally, my core beliefs were formed and now are apart of my everyday routine; 

How I eat.

How I train.

How I love and let love in.

How I invest in myself. 

How I enjoy and let my inner-child out.

How I don’t take life too seriously.

How I have fun and let my goofy side go crazy. 

So yeah…to me nothing is more important than my core beliefs. And the key is to always stay open. Open to beliefs shifting, changing, and growing just as you do.
