The beliefs that we have learned, indoctrinated and hold on to are paramount. They are either catalysts of positive momentum or inhibiting chains to our success. We have to be willing to explore these beliefs - where they come from, are they true for us now or what has changed for us.

Our emotions are always triggered by stimuli in our life experience in the moment by our senses. We strive for more joyous, positive emotions but the reality is there are the less positive too. In fact, even joyous events can trigger anxiety. Common "negative" emotions will result in a freeze, fight or flight response to the sympathetic nervous system. Emotions modify behaviours and attitudes.

Thoughts are based on learned behaviours, attitudes, beliefs and often trigger emotional responses. Understanding the paradigm that "Thoughts Become Things" assists in the monitoring of responses. Monitoring thoughts then changes an uncontrolled emotional reaction into a controlled emotional response. Which in turn can be devoid of any emotional reasoning that inhibits us from positive growth.
