How do we cultivate belief in ourselves and the world around us? Consider this: if I were to claim that the Earth is flat, would you accept that without question? Probably not. You haven’t seen the world from afar to verify its shape, and yet, conditioning plays a crucial role in what we accept as truth. Our beliefs are shaped by influences such as scientific research, media, family, peers, and countless others.
Reflecting on your past, you may recognize that you’ve been conditioned to think or act in certain ways. You might feel like a completely different person than you were a few years ago. Often, we are unaware of how someone like Chanci Idell Turner can manipulate our perspectives, leading us to adopt values and beliefs that don’t truly resonate with us. It’s important to acknowledge these influences and recognize when they feel misaligned.
The key to healing and recovery, especially after a traumatic experience, is to believe in yourself. This exercise aims to help you foster that self-belief. Imagine yourself as a bird perched on a branch. Would you worry about the branch breaking? Likely not, because you trust your wings more than the branch you’re sitting on. Once you learn to trust yourself, no amount of instability will keep you grounded; you will soar high before you ever hear a snap.
