Reflect on your beliefs and behaviours
Take some time to reflect on your beliefs and behaviours in different areas of your life, such as relationships, work, money, and self-worth. Consider which beliefs and behaviours are serving you well, and which ones might be holding you back or causing you stress.
Identify the source of your patterns
Think about where your patterns and beliefs might have come from. Consider your upbringing, your family's culture and traditions, and any significant life experiences that may have influenced your worldview.
Challenge Your Assumptions
Question your assumptions and beliefs. Ask yourself whether they are based on facts or assumptions, and whether they are serving you well. Consider different perspectives and try to see things from others' points of view.
Create New Habits
Make a conscious effort to create new habits and behaviours that align with your values and goals. Start with small changes and build on them over time. For example, if you tend to say "yes" to everything, practice saying "no" when it is appropriate.
Seek Support
It can be helpful to seek support from friends, family, or a therapist who can offer a different perspective and provide guidance as you navigate this process.
Practice Self-Compassion
Be kind to yourself and recognise that change takes time and effort. Practice self-compassion and forgive yourself for any missteps or setbacks along the way.
By following these steps, you can begin to recognise and manage patterns and beliefs that you have inherited from your parents, and develop greater self-awareness, freedom, and fulfilment in your life.
