Beliefs

The most important thing that I have learned, is the power of beliefs, most people underestimate the power of their mind, the mind specially the subconscious is in charge of performing the most complex functions of the body, its in charge of regulating blood pressure, the creation of skin, the regeneration of cells, the beating of the hearth, among many other things, if we would try to do all of these activities consciously we would go crazy, that is why many negative beliefs are so hard to let go, they are wired to our subconscious mind, and that is why becoming aware of our beliefs systems its probably the most important task of our lives.
In my opinion all beliefs are negative to an extent, because the way they act is by taking over our mind and body, their only purpose is to prove themselves right, and they do this by looking for justifications for their existence in our environment, if we have a negative belief he would see reflected in all aspects of our lives, on the other hand if the belief is positive he will do the same but with a different outcome nevertheless I still think that when a belief either good or bad takes full control of you life it becomes a problem, because if it is negative you will have a miserable experience, but even if it is positive someday he will be challenged and once its challenged the most probable thing is that it will change, more often to a negative one.
So the best way to deal with beliefs is not letting them take control of our lives but instead use them as tools to help us live better lives, and whenever these beliefs are challenged we can easily give them up with other positive beliefs, that way we take over control of our lives and we can apply what we have learned to the classroom to let kids know that they are the masters of their beliefs and that they have the power to choose the ones that are going to help them become better persons and have better lives all by using their beliefs as tools.
The teaching of beliefs should start early on in life, I just wander where would I be if I had known the power of beliefs when I was a child, most people have an idea about the power of beliefs, they always say that the mind is powerful when what they really mean is that beliefs are powerful, I don't know if it is a big conspiracy or if it is because of the new era of communications that the power of beliefs is becoming a popular topic anyway its for the better of humanity and of teachers that the topic of beliefs its being discussed so much fervor.
