Law Of Attraction And Limiting Beliefs

What are your beliefs?

A greater part of human tribulations results from the presumptions that our minds make without our consent. Familiarizing ourselves with these assumptions helps us to expose notions that do us no good and helps us to heal our emotional injuries.

To start to understand how our minds work, draw a square on a piece of paper. When you are three-quarters of the way done, stop. Despite the fact that the shape remains unfinished, you can still see that the shape is a square. The reason behind this is that your mind fills in the gaps and makes the presumption that you are staring at a square. Your mind goes the extra mile to complete the shape for you.

With reference to our previous encounters, our minds have the extraordinary capacity to fill in the missing components when all the details are not there. This represents the Gestalt principle of closure.

The human brain responds to known patterns particularly when you don’t have the full details. When details are missing the human mind makes presumptions, filling in the gaps.

Case Study

For our case study, let us assume that I am a woman suffering a heartbreak from an earlier relationship where my lover abandoned me for another. I have since found a new lover, and we have been together for several months. I am waiting for his call. As time passes, I start to ponder over why he hasn’t called. It is seven in the evening, and he should have finished his engagements and duties earlier in the day. Soon my mind tries to answer the very questions I have been asking myself. Below are some of the possibilities that my mind raises in an attempt to complete the square.The possibilities are all based on my previous experiences.

• Maybe he is hanging out with his buddies.
• Perhaps he has gone to the gym.
• Is he in the company of another woman?

Limiting Beliefs

Without the details, my mind has raised three possible scenarios. If I don’t take account of my bond with those previous experiences that I take for knowledge, I’ll pick the story that works best for me, and that would be that he is with another woman!

Without knowing it, my emotional response is to hold the conclusive presumption and I would pick it anytime he is inexplicably not with me. In so doing, my irritation and my intimacy with the past experience grow, and my mind employs insecurity, and supplies a longer list of assumptions. That represents all the things I think I know!

When, at last, there is a knock at the door, and my lover arrives with shopping bags, filled to the brim with delicacies. He shouts, “surprise!” I stare at him angrily and accuse him of cheating on me and the arguments start.

Because I was still so deeply attached to my previous unsuccessful relationship, my insecurity overpowered my common sense, and the presumption that my new lover was also playing games with me served me best. Since they were healthier options, I could have chosen to believe any of the other assumptions, or made no assumptions at all. But my emphasis was directed to the details that supported my insecurity because it presented itself as the most realistic option at that moment. This is the biggest problem with assumptions.  This is Law of Attraction limiting beliefs.

A sensation of security

To more bad news, human beings are not only inclined to make assumptions. We also get stuck on our assumptions and persuade ourselves that they are true. If we make our decisions in life based on our perceptions, without the full details, we cannot make progress. Our sense of security often depends on details and making the right decisions, but it isn’t possible for us to know everything. So, we have to make assumptions to safeguard our sense of security.

The more intimate we are with a perception that gives us a sense of security, the closer we are to our understanding of security. All human beings tend to make up stories of each of the actions from their very own perspectives, producing a description, an explanation, and adjusting it into their perception framework. That is what we have learned to do.  This is the Law of Attraction limiting beliefs.

Believing and not believing is your choice

Belief in an assumption is a choice but only if you are  aware that your mind is filling the spaces. You are under the control of your assumptions. But when you are fully aware, an assumption enables you to give consideration to a probability that will only be real at the time that it is viable.

When the assumption is incorrect and you are aware, you can let go of that assumption and generate new possibilities.  When you are aware that your premises do not necessarily represent the truth but are mere probabilities you can develop the discipline to ignore them. We are aware that an assumption is a narrative we have created that presents one of a number of possibilities, and if it shows a varying truth, then we escape from the probability as it does us no good anymore.

Be sure to practice love for yourself and also accept yourself always as it is the only confident route to actual and permanent change. Below is a challenge for you:

Search your soul and count all the times you have made assumptions that later turned out to be false.

Ask yourself these questions:

Are your previous perceptions about that experience still valid at the present moment?

Where did you get the perception from?

What effect does the perception have on you?

Are you properly utilizing the perception?

Is the perception still relevant to you?
