A couple of months ago, when I was deep into my work with limiting beliefs, I came across a study that really changed the way I see life, and today I want to share it with you, in the hope that it shifts something in you as it did for me.

No pressure lol 🤣

There was a study of self-identified "lucky people" and self-identified "unlucky people", and they were asked to do a very simple task:

Flip through a specific newspaper and count the number of images.

That’s it. Just count the number of images.

The "unlucky" people took about 2.5 minutes to finish the task.

The "lucky" people took 11 seconds.

Why?

Because on page 2 of the newspaper was a picture saying:

"There are 34 photos in this newspaper. Collect your reward."

The "lucky" people saw it and read it, but the "unlucky" people sat there and counted each picture manually for 2.5 minutes.

So they literally saw the same reality, but based on their belief system, they saw and created completely different results.

Cool lil story, right?

But now imagine this in your own life.

How many opportunities have you "unseen" because a part of you subconsciously doesn't believe they are possible for you?

How many times a day do you think:

"I can't afford that."

"This doesn't happen to people like me."

"I haven't earned that yet."

And how many times do you stop and actually question these statements?

Most of our beliefs aren't ours.

They are implanted in us during early childhood by our parents, caregivers, friends, teachers, and society (news, TV, norms, etc.).

And if we look around, a lot of messaging in our society is rooted in lack and scarcity.

Marketing is built upon it:

"If you don't have it, you're missing out."

"Try this product or you'll never be perfect."

"Here's a new model of the same product. If you're using the old one, you're less than."

Am I right? 🥹

And now imagine what that kind of conditioning does to your beliefs.And how many opportunities are present and available, but your mind filters them out because of those beliefs.

And I'm not saying all that to discourage you in any way. Or blame you ❤️

I want this to inspire you to open your mind to the possibility that everything is possible if you put your mind to it.

Quite literally.

Beliefs can be changed, and you don't need a 20-step manifestation practice for it.

All you need is:

Awareness - becoming aware of what you're telling yourself that is limiting your view of the world and its possibilities.

Nervous system regulation - bringing your body into a state of relaxation and connection to your inner wisdom.

Consistency - rewiring your beliefs with more expansive ones every time you notice an old belief, and starting to act from the new belief.

If this is something you'd like me to dive deeper into, let me know ❤️
