Breaking Beyond Barriers ∞

I'm sure we have all heard the phrase "mind over matter" before.

Similarly, there are phrases such as "you can do anything you put your mind to" and "out of sight, out of mind"- all pointing to the extreme significance our minds hold in our life experience.

But when we really begin to break it down, we see that in every moment, we are quite literally creating the template of our own existence through our words & internal monologues. Casting spells. Speaking it into existence. Language is what helps us to conceptualize ideas into rational, tangible understanding, thus bridging the gaps between thoughts, spoken words (which is often a reflection of our internal landscapes) & eventually into physical action. & our minds are the filter & program in which we navigate this world experience through.

There is nothing more crucial to our fundamental core way of being than our belief systems. This is what will either taint or enliven the perspectives we carry forward in our individual reality. & from a young age, we begin to adopt our ideas about ourselves & the world around us, both directly & indirectly, from our caregivers & the environmental stimuli we absorb.More often than not, however, our belief systems are skewed from who we really are in essence- & this haunts us well into adulthood, if not evaluated & reshaped.

Without even realizing it, the beliefs instilled into us at such a susceptible age have already created a structure & framework for us for live by, before we even had the chance to consciously choose what that would look like for ourselves. & with each belief running as a "program" in the mind's data-system, we are told what to do, who we are, how to experience life- until we take it upon ourselves to reboot the system altogether & create something that works for us.

The way we show up for ourselves in our life experience is directly parallel to the narratives our minds feed into & the limitations they can impose on us, if not kept in check. I cannot express how many times I would tell myself before: "I can't do xyz." & sure enough, the task would not get completed, never mind the fact that I didn't even make it to trying to attempt whatever specific project it was in the first place. If it was out of reach in my mind, then I surely felt it to be impossible in the present, here & now. How many times do we give up on ourselves due to an outdated belief system, before something can even get the chance to ignite?

Or, have you ever wanted to expand yourself in a certain way that felt new & out of your comfort zone? Let's say: you wanted to dye your hair a new color, or you wanted to launch your own creative business. Whatever the case, perhaps it was something that challenged you to branch out of the you that you & others had perceived yourself to be for so long. Have you ever been met with someone telling you "Oh, just be realistic." about the dreams you had? Maybe they thought they were helping to save you from potential disappointment in hindsight; or maybe, the idea of you growing outside of how they currently see you felt threatening to them. Regardless, this all just continues to enforce the ideas that we aren't allowed to change & become beyond our current expression of self, when in actuality, change is what keeps us in bloom & evolving all throughout our life. & the more we allow ourselves to level up & expand, the greater heights we are able to break through.

Our mind's hold such immense power: when we are plugged in, we are a spark of infinite energy, waiting to be extended outwardly into our individual & universal worlds. But when we are plagued by doubts, negative beliefs & critical undertones, we have created a mental cage that hinders our own possibilities of life. We put ourselves in boxes that withhold our true potential, all because of what we THINK we can't do or be.

As you learn to challenge specific beliefs & push past the rigid barriers your mind has created, you prove to yourself the endless scope that is your own capabilities & limitations. Because in our highest expression, our potential to create, become, achieve is infinite- if we are willing to break down the mind's walls that keep us small & in one form.
