Change your beliefs - change your
behaviours
What beliefs are we talking about here? We are talking
about 'core beliefs'.
Should you be a male who believes that "real men" are
rough, tough, never shows emotion and certainly do not
cry then your behaviour will reflect this. While this belief
works for you and your relationships then there appears
little reason to change. If however this set of beliefs are
becoming difficult because your behaviour is perceived as
unacceptable then there maybe a good reason to change.
This is just one example of some people's beliefs. There
are almost as many beliefs as there are people. The
principle remains the same that if you need to change your behaviour then you will need to change your beliefs.
Some people are aware of their more problematic beliefs,
many are not and require help to achieve the required
changes, unless you believe that you should be able to sort everything out yourself.
That sorting out, dealing with etc... usually means
emotional/psychological issues. It does not usually mean in
terms of a physical need. If we break a bone or catch a
disease we go to a health professional. If we have an
emotional problem there is no logical reason why we
should try to fix it without going to a professional
Counsellor. Some things are easier to deal
with than others, according to the person concerned.
There is a direct correlation between our emotional/mental
health and physical health. Many people would recognise
the fact that when under stress, for example, they are
more susceptable to colds and flu and other more
serious health risks and therefore if you change your
belief, your behaviour will change and you will be less
likely to get physically sick.
