If you find yourself thinking derogatory thoughts like, I'm disgusting, nobody's ever going to love me, I don't deserve great things, etc. You know, understand that that's not something you came up with on your own. If you wake up each day and you're like, man, I'm disgusting.

I don't deserve to be loved. You were taught that from somewhere, you took it on from your environment, somewhere, not that you need to know where. Somebody told you that you were this way and then eventually you bought in, you took it on. Or somebody treated you in a way and in response to that treatment, in reaction to the way you were being treated, you took on this idea that I'm disgusting.

Like maybe somebody turned you down or they said no to you at some point in time or made fun of you and you were like, man, this must be happening because I'm disgusting. It could have been in childhood, it could have been in your teenage years. Something could have happened as an adult that just flips a switch and then we react with this idea that I'm disgusting and then we take it on as our reality.

And so the reason I'm sharing this is because we have to understand. Any belief that you hold within your mind is nothing more than an idea that you hold. And it's up to you whether you're going to invest in that idea and continue to propagate it and keep it alive, or you're going to look at it and say, man, that's a belief construct that came by way of one of two things.

Either copied it from something in my past, or I took that belief on in reaction to something that happened to me in my life. You know, maybe a one time event, maybe it was a repetitive occurrence. But regardless of how it came to be, you don't need to know where it came from, you don't need to know why it's there.

All you need to know is that it's there, number one, and that I choose to change it. It's not how I choose to identify with myself any longer. And I understand that that seems overly simplified, but that really is how the journey begins. And obviously there's a whole host of other, you know, tools, techniques, strategies and support that you could get inside of to learn how to restructure your own psychology, restructure the current condition of your mind, train a whole set of new feelings and emotions that you want to drive with experience and have.

But it really does all begin, The whole journey of transformation starts with just being willing to look at something and go huh, "I'm disgusting." That is not going to produce the feeling I want to have. It's not going to create the outcomes that I want and it's fundamentally untrue. I'm not going to entertain this anymore and I'm going to set it aside and what I'm going to start to take on is, hey man, I'm capable or I deserve X as every other human being does and get clear on what is it that you're going to start to adopt in place of the idea that I'm disgusting and nobody's going to love me.

As an example, like, what's the thing you're going to propagate in the mind is the new belief construct that you deserve to know, have and essentially drive with from there you want to reinforce it, you want to rationalize and justify that new belief.

The point is, when it comes to beauty or attraction, that's all it truly is. Like we always hear it's in the eye of the beholder. Not all of us look at the same thing as beautiful. Some of us look at one thing. You can go to an art studio and one person is awestruck by a certain piece of art and another person is like, man, my five year old could have done that.

What in the world is going on right now and how does that cost so much money? And you know, we're all looking at the same thing. And so give yourself reasons and rationalizations and justifications that reinforce the way you want to feel about yourself and the identity that if you take on this identity for yourself, was going to take you to the experience you want to have and the life that you want to create.

Because all of us have destructive or, you know, thought constructs or beliefs that could potentially get in our way. And the question is not is this real or is it true? Is this valid? What's important is not where it came from, but what is important is am I willing to change it and am I willing to take the steps to train and develop the psychology, the mindset, the emotional patterns, you know, train my nervous system so that I can evolve into the person that I want to become and create the life that I aspire to create.

Because everybody struggles with something negative in the mind, something demeaning in the mind, something diminishing in their, in their own mind. And so it's not a matter of do we have this in the mind or do we not? We all have it. We all have our versions of disgusting, if you will.

The real question is, are you ready to do something about it? And are you willing to train the tools and the tactics and the strategies that are going to create an impeccable psychology, an empowered mindset, a vibrant emotional experience for yourself, and a really powerful nervous system?

Because if you're committed to that process, you can create yourself and build yourself into just about anybody that you want to become and create whatever life it is that you aspire to. And so give yourself permission to stop investing in such thoughts that diminish you, and give yourself permission, even though it'll be awkward and strange and weird, to to start investing in the thoughts that are going to uplift you, expand you, and reinforce who it is you want to become.
