					<description><![CDATA[I work with people who, often unknowingly, spend nearly all of their energy trying to live up to someone else’s image of who they ought to be. There are two primary outcomes: failure and resentment. Going against your true self to be what someone else wants is monumentally challenging and rarely successful.

The act of opening up to possibility opens up the floodgates of life. It’s easy to fall into mental patterns and assume we know all there is to know about a situation and are able to predict every [&#8230;]]]></description>

We looked at permanently dissolving fears and erroneous beliefs by proving their falsehood. We began the process of fortifying ourselves and moving toward detoxing limiting beliefs and fears.

Once we’ve identified hindering beliefs and fears, we can work toward reducing, revising or, ideally, replacing them with empowering beliefs that serve to speed us along the path [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If you’ve read part one and two of Detoxing the Mind, you’ve probably identified some hindering beliefs and fears about you and life.  Take some time to reflect on how these beliefs shape your experiences. Life mirrors beliefs. Every negative, fear-based belief we hold  influences our choices.  It is natural to turn away from discomfort to avoid whatever stands [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As I mentioned in part one, the things standing between you and your heart’s desires are your beliefs. In response, I received an email stating that some desires cannot be attained regardless of beliefs.  Based on the writer’s examples, I agree.  If your “desire” is to be Brad Pitt’s next wife, it’s not likely, though stranger things have [&#8230;]]]></description>

In truth, they are the beliefs, negative thoughts and conclusions we’ve drawn from people and experiences. Many of our beliefs slipped into our [&#8230;]]]></description>
