In Case you haven’t heard 50 is the new 30. The great thing about being 30 again is there are mistakes you will never make again.

Take Kat Caverly (@greetums) for instance. For years she thought she couldn’t perform. Who’d she think she was? Frank Sinatra? But like most women who are coming into their wisdom years, she began to question old beliefs.

Asking the question, “is this thought (belief) even true?” is a helpful strategy. It shifts the long stagnant energy the old belief traps us in.

Here is Kat’s epiphany “today I regularly re-examine all of my beliefs.” To that I say, “Amen, halleluiah, hello freedom”.

"Is this belief even true?"

Freedom to imagine—a plan or action is one step. Execution of the plan is another step. But here is where most of us get off track: we first have to Be. Be who we really are; in touch with our Authentic Self. Our Authentic Self is never limited. We can be out of alignment, our ego self can be limiting—but never the Authentic Self.

Take a minute to name just one limiting belief—and do yourself a favor don’t pick a HUGE one. Pick one like I can’t take a picture, or I can’t sit still. And then give yourself the gift of proving yourself wrong.

Be curious. Ask, “Is this really true I can’t (fill in the blank)”. Move with your curiosity. Open. Investigate.

Spiritual practice means: asking, listening and allowing. Tether yourself to the freedom on the other side of the belief in limitation and move with spirit. Be Who you Really Are in just one instance and I promise all the other instances will change too.
