Hi, my name is Barb Bruno and I'm welcoming you to our Faith and Healing tip today. And I record these videos to help individuals that have experienced any type of loss to rediscover joy back in their life again. And my tip today, I have a question for you. What 3 beliefs might be holding you back? Because when you've experienced any kind of loss, whether it's a loss of a person, a loss of your good health, a loss of a relationship, a loss of your life as you knew it before, whatever loss you've experienced. Again, you know, health issues can really change your life and that's another type of loss. But what believes did you create to protect yourselves? Because that's what we all do. When any of us go through any type of trauma or any kind of loss, we start putting parameters on our life. We start coming up with what we're going to believe and this is how we're going to survive. And and that's what beliefs do. Believes protect you. They help you survive and they get you through those days when your heart is shattered or you just don't feel like you have any oxygen left in your. Body and so in the beginning, what these beliefs do is they help you cope because again, the life you knew before no longer exists. But what I want to share with you today is too often those beliefs that protected you at the beginning might be limiting you right now because life has changed. You have changed and as you're healing, the healing process changes you and sometimes the greatest obstacle to rediscovering joy. Is not getting over the loss itself. It's those self-imposed limitations that we unknowingly carry long after they're effective, you know. And so that belief system that worked when we first went through our loss, it worked then. But as you've evolved, as you've changed those same belief systems that really helped you cope, maybe absolutely limiting your, your chances of rediscovering joy. So I wrote down 3 questions I want to ask you #1 what belief do you have right now? You said, this is, this is who I am, this is what I do, These are my parameters. What belief that you have right now no longer serves you? I want you to think about that. What is the main belief that you have that no longer serves you #2 what joy or opportunity or relationship or experience are you avoiding as a result of some of the beliefs that you established right after your loss? And so think of what this could be costing you that these beliefs and these parameters you put up at the very beginning, what opportunities are passing you by because of those belief systems? And 3rd, what would happen if you allowed yourself to think differently? Because that's scary. We spend most of our lives operating in our comfort zone, you know, and, and we make these statements, you know, that this is how I'm going to live my life. This is how things are going to be. And then we don't realize again that life keeps changing, things keep changing. And sometimes those beliefs are just not serving you and healing is just your opportunity to live again. And I think that faith means you've got to trust God enough to loosen the grip on some of those beliefs that once protected you because you've got someone else protecting you know, your faith is protecting you now. Your belief in God is protecting you now. You know, and, and what belief system is preventing you from living a full life right now because you deserve peace and you deserve. Purpose. And every one of you is figuring out your new purpose right now because again, the life you knew before no longer exists. So what is the purpose? Why are you still here? What are you going to do with the rest of your life that that when you look back, you're going to be proud. You're going to figure out what you were put on this earth to do. And lastly, you most certainly deserve to rediscover joy. Please send it for my faith and healing tip next Friday and until then keep the faith. Thank you.
