How to Change a Core Belief

Patterns of thought, habits and external influences established in childhood create core beliefs in the subconscious mind. According to Abraham Hicks, " Belief is only a thought that you keep thinking. It's more like a habit of thought." Changing these thoughts or hidden assumptions requires a daily practice of reprogramming the psyche. Shift the perception of past or present experiences by identifying and recording these old core beliefs. Execute new written and verbal exercises for 30 days to create a new positive dogma.
