From the moment we enter this world, our subconscious mind is wide open, absorbing information like a sponge. Dr. Bruce Lipton, a leading expert in epigenetics and the author of The Biology of Belief, has done extensive work in understanding how our beliefs are formed—especially during childhood. He explains that from birth to around age seven, our brains primarily operate in wavelengths similar to a hypnotic state. This means that everything we experience, everything we’re told, and everything we observe becomes deeply ingrained within us—shaping our beliefs about ourselves and the world around us.
Some of these beliefs empower us. If we grew up in an environment where we were consistently loved, valued, and encouraged, we likely developed the belief that we are worthy, capable, and deserving of love. However, if we were neglected, criticized, or made to feel unworthy, those belief systems also became part of our subconscious framework, dictating the way we move through life.
The Impact of Childhood Programming
For example, if you were taught that success requires struggle and sacrifice, you might find yourself working tirelessly without allowing yourself to enjoy the rewards. If you were conditioned to believe that your worth depends on external validation, you may constantly seek approval from others rather than trusting your own inner guidance.
Many people experience a wake-up call later in life—sometimes in their 30s, 40s, or even 50s—when they start questioning their patterns and behaviors. Why do I keep attracting the same types of relationships? Why do I struggle to trust myself? Why do I feel like something is missing? These questions mark the beginning of an awakening—the realization that the framework we’ve been operating from may no longer serve us.
Breaking Free From Limiting Beliefs
- Identify Your Core Beliefs – Take a moment to reflect on the beliefs that drive your actions. Are they serving you, or are they keeping you stuck? Journaling about recurring challenges in your life can help uncover hidden belief patterns.
- Challenge the Narrative – Once you recognize limiting beliefs, question their validity. Ask yourself: Is this belief absolutely true? Where did it come from? Can I think of evidence that contradicts it?
- Reprogram Your Mindset – Use affirmations and visualization techniques to install new, empowering beliefs. Instead of saying, “I’m not good enough,” replace it with, “I am worthy of love and success.” Over time, your subconscious mind will adopt these new perspectives.
- Seek New Experiences – Break the cycle by stepping outside of your comfort zone. Engage in activities that reinforce your new beliefs. If you want to build self-trust, start making small decisions without seeking outside validation.
- Embrace Your Spiritual Growth – Recognizing the role of your spiritual journey in this process is key. Your soul chose certain challenges to help you evolve. When you begin to see your past experiences as part of your spiritual curriculum rather than as roadblocks, healing becomes possible.
