WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE ABOUT YOURSELF??

What do you believe about yourself? As a child I learned "differently" from many of my classmates. It was a time when that kind of thing wasn't even heard of, and I was constantly falling behind and getting low grades. My parents yelled, cajoled, and threw up their hands. My teachers sent me to the school psychologist. I'm sure my classmates (there were only about 36 of us per grade) thought I was dumb. It was never voiced directly, but pretty much every person in my life was telling me the same thing - you're stupid. In 9th grade I was pulled me out of algebra to learn typing, because my future was likely as a secretary. Turns out I was really good at typing, so I guessed I had found my place. My belief system colored my life. I went to a "junior" college (I never even bothered to apply to a 4-year. school) and my first job actually was as a secretary. It wasn't until I reach the age of 26 that I began to understand the I had a different kind of intelligence.

I returned to school where I earned a high GPA and my BS degree. Then I went to graduate school - probably because I wanted to prove once and for all that I wasn't stupid - and found a true love of learning. I know now that I am not stupid, I never was, and actually, I'm pretty smart. The belief that I was stupid was never true, it was weighing me down, and I let it go.

Gary Craig, inventor of EFT (tapping) calls your belief system your BS, and for most of us, that's exactly what it is. It's critical to understand what you believe about yourself and the world (is it safe, loving, etc.), colors everything. The really crazy thing is that as humans we seek to be correct, so we seek out people and situations that reinforce our BS, over and over. "See, I was right, I really am (fill in the blank). Gary explains it like this: the BS is like a table top, and every time you prove yourself right by picking out an inappropriate partner, losing a friend, raging at a coworker, you are adding another leg to hold up that table. Over time you've accumulated so many legs under the table that it's almost impossible to change the BS. Once you look carefully at what you truly believe, you can understand that many beliefs no longer serve you and need to be thrown out. One by one, we can remove the table legs until the whole thing collapses and you can let it go.
