I have known for a long time I have negative core beliefs about myself. The root of it comes from parents that were verbally abusive and discouraging. I have known for a long time my parents were verbally abused by one or another parent as children and I see the trend continue with me and my siblings.
As I have been battling these lies- feelings of worthlessness or uselessness- I have come to realize the best way to deal with the negativity is to find something positive to think about. Whether I replace the negative thought with a positive (I am good at ______) or encourage a friend, it distracts from negative thoughts and feelings.
I am also a Christian, so I try to pray and ask God for encouragement and help.
Core beliefs are what you believe about yourself, others, the world and your future. The formation of our core beliefs begin when we are young and are rooted in our experiences as children and adolescents.
Our core beliefs are usually unspoken or outside of our immediate awareness. They are often accepted as 100% true and rarely examined for accuracy.
Negative core beliefs are associated with many issues such as low self-esteem, self-worth, depression and anxiety.
A negative life event can activate negative core beliefs about the self, others, the world & the future.
Some examples include …
* A lay-off from work or a break-up could result in feelings such as feeling unlovable or useless
Have you ever experienced a negative core belief? Where do you think you formed them?
