Belief Burn
So, here’s what I came up with (click on the thumbnail to see the full picture):
Yes, “You are not good enough!” is on both lists…
Today, that didn’t seem to be enough, though. I realized that I can do something similar to my worry burn: It was time to burn these beliefs. I wrote each one on individual pieces of paper:
And then burned them, saying the words (with the most potent belief as the example): “The belief ‘You are not good enough!’ is undermining my confidence / triggering my fear. It has got to go. Fire burn it!” As I dropped it into the water, I would say “Water dissolve it!”
Once they were all burned, I flushed them down the toilet!
Of course, I know that this doesn’t really destroy my beliefs. Sweat glands produce sweat; minds produce thoughts. This is a ritual reminder, though, that I can let go of them. I don’t have to believe everything I think!
