Hello My Beautiful Friends….Last week we spoke all about our feelings and how our energy is affected by our thoughts and how we choose to think about what is happening in our life. Today we are going to talk about how our beliefs hold us back from manifesting what we want.
But before we get into that I would like to come from a place of gratitude and think of what you are thankful for today? Have you started your gratitude journals, writing 3-5 things down everyday of what you are thankful for? I hope you have so you can start your days off with your vibrations high. Today I am thankful for all of you out there listening. I look forward every week being able to send out the right words that will give you all the message that you are all needing and wanting to hear.
Every morning while I meditate, I ask my higher self/ the Universe, our Creator, to give me the right words to speak to those I come in contact with and for my clients that I am coaching that day, as well as when I am recording each episode of this podcast. But before we get into todays episode and the message you are meant to hear on the Lies that we were told, I want you to write this affirmation down. Do you have your journal close by? Go on go get it if you don’t, Im not going anywhere….Ok are you ready, here it is… Today I focus on what I want to attract into my life. Let me repeat that again, Today I focus on what I want to attract into my life.
It’s not your fault that you are confused and unhappy, that you have beliefs that you are tied to, or why you think the way you do, but after you hear what I am about to tell you, if you don’t do anything about it, well then, we can question that statement. It happens to be our parents, our grandparents and past generations, who we have to thank for why we are fucked up and why we think the way we do. So let me explain why this is true and why we happen to believe the things that we do, You see, When we came into this world as babies, incapable of doing anything. We were just living in the moment as we were meant to, and our world was perfect exactly how it was. We had absolutely no idea that anything was any less perfect than what it was to us at that time.
As we got older, well, that’s a totally different story, because we started listening to all the people around us that we trusted, and we believed whatever they told us was true. From the moment we were able to absorb information, our loved ones filled us up with a lifetime of crazy beliefs that they learned from past generations. Many that actually have nothing to do with who we are or that are necessarily true (you’re not smart enough, you’re not skinny enough, money doesn’t make you happy, the world is a dangerous place, there is a place called hell and if you don’t believe in God you will go there, you will never find a good job or make a good salary if you don’t go to college, You are born a sinner, all other religions are wrong but ours, and so on).
When your parents were raising you, of course they only wanted what was best for you. They loved you, they wanted to keep you safe from the big scary world. They had no idea that these were just beliefs that could actually be questioned let alone not believed, because you see, most of us are just innocently living in an illusion based on someone else’s beliefs.
You see, Beliefs are just sentences that are told to us over and over again, and our subconscious mind turns them into our truth through repetition.
So, if your father or mother repeatedly told you that you weren’t smart enough or pretty enough, your subconscious eventually believed it. Those untrue words of theirs most likely made you extremely insecure while you were growing up. You may actually still question your intelligence and if you are attractive at all.
Knowing and understanding that beliefs are just repeated sentences told to us, we can choose to either keep the beliefs we have or we can change them. I mean who the hell knew? Our parents sure didn’t or we wouldn’t be so messed up with all these crazy beliefs running through our head.
That my friends is exactly how the subconscious mind works: by repeating words or sentences over and over until eventually it believes them. You see, We have both a conscious mind and a subconscious mind. Most of us are only aware of our conscious mind, because that is where we process all of our information. It’s where we figure out how to add, subtract, multiply. It’s where we worry, judge and criticize other people from. It’s also where we love, and remember birthdays from. Our conscious mind doesn’t fully develop until somewhere around our twenties.
Which says a lot when it comes to teenagers, and why they react the way they do. Their brains aren’t fully developed. They think they’re invincible or that they’ll never get caught doing the things they shouldn’t be doing, because they aren’t thinking clearly. They do crazy things, like stealing a kitten from the local shelter and hiding it in their sweatshirt so they can escape through the front door without anyone noticing. Yes, this is a true story, that was me and my childhood friend. We actually got away with it, and we brought the kitten back the exact same way a few days later, once we were told from both our parents that we weren’t allowed to keep the adorable, homeless kitten that we “found.”
So let me explain this more, Our conscious mind is the part of our brain that keeps us aware of what we are thinking about, and stops only when we sleep. Once we open our eyes, it starts right back up. The subconscious mind is fully developed the minute we come screaming into the world, and The subconscious believes everything it is told because it has no filter to know what is true and what isn’t. It believes everything as truth if repeated enough. It runs basically on instincts and feelings. Think of the subconscious as a little kid, because that is pretty much what its age level is. Most of our information that is stored in our subconscious is from our childhood and it doesn’t know right from wrong, true or untrue. So for example, If your parents told us that on the morning of Easter, a life-size bunny comes and hides painted eggs, then leaves a basket filled with candy, you believed them, or If your parents fought every day, yelling and screaming mean things to one another, you most likely believed that is what it means to love and care for someone.
We didn’t know enough to question our parents, we trusted them. I mean why would they ever lie to us??? We had no idea our world was scary, until they told us. We had no idea that you had to work long and hard, or you would never be able to make a lot of money, or that you have to be skinny to be a model, or that if you have sex with more than a few guys you would be labeled as a whore. Girls, if you want to have sex with whoever, however, whenever, wherever, as many times as you want . . . DO IT! Go have fun, just protect yourself please. If men can do it, women can too. Get crazy, have fun wild sex and then be proud the next day that you didn’t have to fake the triple orgasm that you had—and if you have never had a triple orgasm, keep practicing my friends, you will get there. A vibrator might do the trick for you (big smiles). And, if you don’t have a vibrator, go out and buy one. Your Inner Goddess will love you even more. (Laugh)
You see, The problem is that many of these beliefs you were told aren’t even true—that is, unless you choose to believe they are.
Consciously we are aware of what is going on. Unconsciously is a totally different story. We can’t understand why we feel incapable about creating more money in our lives, and why our thoughts keep telling us that money is hard to come by and that money doesn’t create happiness. With those kind of thoughts in our heads (which is what we were told growing up) there is absolutely no way in hell that we are going to let ourselves have an abundant amount of money, because we believe it doesn’t create happiness. And we all want to be happy right?
The problem is that We aren’t even aware that these stupid beliefs of ours have been holding us back from creating money for most of our life. We remain stuck and we continuously self-sabotage ourselves with a never-ending cycle. We want to manifest a life that we would love to be living, and to be able to attract what we are wanting, but our limiting beliefs keep getting in our way, because We have absolutely no idea that this is happening. So how can we fix what is broken when we are clueless to why we are the way we are?
Let me explain to you why this is so hard to grasp onto. Why you haven’t been able to get past your limiting beliefs and why you still believe that they are true, even though consciously you know they aren’t.
Your subconscious mind has been running the show since you were a kid with unfiltered information known as beliefs.
You are totally unaware that these subconscious beliefs are what control your life.
Your conscious mind is still being controlled by all the crazy beliefs that you have been carrying around in your subconscious. Even after you know that’s really not what you want to believe.
This is exactly why some of us haven’t been able to create the life we are wanting. Why we haven’t been able to land that perfect job, or why we haven’t been able to meet the right partner. We want to, but our subconscious is in the way. It is holding us back. So my friends In order to keep growing into the best version of yourself, you need to get in touch with your subconscious mind. You need to try to understand what your limiting beliefs are that are keeping you stuck and held back from where you are wanting to go.
Your subconscious mind is actually the easiest, most simple and straightforward path to all of your dreams. But, The problem is that we keep shutting it down, because we constantly get in our own way by consciously worrying, overanalyzing, and overthinking everything. We start creating our own problems from the unknown about our future. We don’t like to not know what is going to happen or what the outcome may be.
And, If you are afraid of any uncomfortable emotions, you’re never going to do the things you really want to do. We want to be in control of everything in our lives and that is just not possible. You have to learn to trust that the Universe has your back, that Your creator knows what “She” is doing, and that your intuition will guide you.
You see, Our limiting beliefs (beliefs that limit our thinking) can be right in front of our faces, or they can be buried deep inside of us. The best part about all of this is that your beliefs are just thoughts. That’s right, every single one of them, they are just sentences that we keep believing. I mentioned this in Episode 2 , You can change your thoughts anytime you want to, and you can choose to think whatever you want. Best fucking news ever!!!
You want to start learning how to Create that new story and start acting as if you believe your new belief. Your subconscious has absolutely no idea what is real and what isn’t, what is true and what you are lying about, kinda like the Universe, as I explained in Episode 1. Because you subconscious doesn’t know true from untrue, this is exactly why you have been believing all these crazy lies that you have been telling yourself. Your subconscious doesn’t know the truth. To your subconscious everything is reality. So you see my friends you can tell yourself anything that you want to start creating because The story that you start telling yourself will manifest right before your eyes, as long as you start to believe it. You have the power within yourself to create whatever you want in your life, because you are your creator. And remember….the Universe can only give you what you think and believe. It’s law.
If you are enjoying this podcast, you will really love reading my book, Unleash Your Inner Goddess, start living the life you deserve. Let me read you a review that Amy Koller left on Amazon:
“Unleash Your Inner Goddess: Start Living the Life You Deserve,” by Christine Rizzo is the perfect inspirational book that every woman needs to take the time to read. This book is filled with insight and gives you the push in the right direction to take back your power in life and go after all of the things you have wanted to attain, but have been too afraid to go for in the past. If you are looking to spark a fire within yourself and relaunch your life in a manner that you didn’t think was previously possible, you need to get your hands on this book.” Thank you so much Amy for your kind words, you truly raised my frequency level for sure.
So my friends, Next week we will talk all about how to keep those lies out of your head that your Inner Mean Girl has been telling you for so many years, so you can start manifesting everything that you have ever wanted. We have to first clear the blocks that have been holding us back from creating. If we don’t you will never be able to deliberately create the things that you want, as to why so many people have a hard time manifesting. There is so much more to manifesting than to just Ask, believe, and Receive. I promise you that if you keep on listening to The Manifesting Formula, and you do the work, you will be able to manifest the life you have always dreamed of.
