But did you know that these 'beliefs' are hard-wired into our brain automatically without us knowing? I spent years and a lot of money doing courses, buying books, attending seminars and trying just about everything to remove my own negative beliefs, but nobody could tell me how to actually get rid of them - permanently!I was told how to deny, ignore, reword, refocus, accept and reframe and cover them up with positive thinking and affirmations, none of which worked permanently for me, or the hundreds of people I've worked with since!After years of leading myself up the garden path, I found the answer that no-one else seemed aware of.You can't get rid of negative thoughts and feelings by denying them! It's like putting a band-aid on a broken leg!
