We're going cognitively deep here. Moving through our surface-level thoughts to our core beliefs.

Core beliefs
Some feelings of worthlessness, when I have an opinion it feels that people often dismiss or reject them

What’s my core belief about likeability
I learned that my social anxiety is rooted in my core beliefs of being unliked or judged for being awkward and weird.

Core beliefs
I wasn’t really loved as a child so I compensate by loving harder and more quickly as an adult. I hold on tightly. More then I probably should. My love is more like a train traveling at high speed, when it hits you it’s like a train hitting you. So the person feels overwhelmed by it. For me love is Almost like a need not a choice. I love hard and I am loyal to the core.

Core beliefs
I’m seeing that even after decades of self work the original core belief of not being good enough is still activated on occasion. Time to be kind to myself.

Resentment
Core beliefs add to resentment of other people. Learning to shift or drop core beliefs will help me enter relationships and situations with an open mind.

Thought provoking
Gained some much needed introspection and objectivity. This helped me reflect on the different and sometimes challenging cultural perspectives that my husband and I have based in our core belief systems.

Paying attention
Pay attention to my negative thoughts and how they may be tied to my core beliefs. Example: I’m so busy, have so much to do because I’m not doing enough (negative thought), and I’m not doing enough because *I’m* not enough (core belief). We have the power to rewrite and reprogram our core beliefs.

Core beliefs developed early in life together with errors of thinking are main driving force in relationships struggle
