http://mindpersuasion.com/emotional-freedom/ Most beliefs operate at the feeling level, rather than the logical level where language exists. So changing them requires you to change your feelings. Here's How: http://mindpersuasion.com/emotional-freedom/

2. Once I got into a discussion with a
friend of mine over the origin of the
expression, "raining cats and dogs."

3. We argued over what it meant, so we
looked it up.

4. Turns out that nobody really knows.

5. There are a few sort of plausible
explanations.

6. My favorite was from back in the day
when English people were pretty filthy.

7. They would just throw their garbage
out onto the street, and wait for the
rains to wash it away.

8. So when it rained particularly heavy,
they would see all the garbage flowing
down.

9. Often times, mixed in would be dead
animals.

10. Cats and dogs, specifically.

11. So people would joke that it was
"raining cats and dogs."

12. Now, whether or not this is the
"correct" "meaning" for this particular
expression doesn't really matter.

13. The English language is FILLED with
metaphors like this where EXPERTS
have zero clue where they come from.

14. Sure, everybody's got their own pet
theory, but they are really just guesses.

15. Kick the bucket, buy the farm, sell
somebody down the river, and on and
on.

16. Stephen Pinker, a famous linguistic
tells our that our brains don't really
need to know WHY they mean what
they do. All we need to know is that
both "kick the bucket" and "buy the
farm" means to die.

17. So when somebody uses it, we
understand what they mean.

18. If enough people around us are using
it, we'll start to use it to, usually
subconsciously.

19. Most of our beliefs are like that.

20. We picked them up without really
questioning what they mean or how
they got there.

21. Public speaking is scary, talking to
pretty girls is horrifying, making
money is difficult, losing weight is
hard.

22. But since SOME people on Planet
Earth live their lives in direct
OPPPOSITIION of these beliefs, that
CAN'T be objectively true.

23. Only true for US. And only true
because we don't question them.

24. The good thing about beliefs is you can
CHANGE THEM.

25. Sure, it takes effort. One MUST go
through the natural learning process.

26. Unconscious incompetence, conscious
incompetence, conscious competence,
and finally unconscious competence.

27. Imagine getting to the unconscious
competence level of the following
beliefs:

28. Money is good.

29. Making money is easy.

30. Talking to attractive people is fun.

31. Persuasion is easy.

32. Staying in shape is easy and natural.

33. What happens to your life then?

34. Few are willing to question their
beliefs, let alone do the work to
change them.

35. Just like few people willing to get a
black belt in a martial art, or take the
time to learn something complicated
like Photoshop or a foreign language.

36. But all it takes is effort, and
consistency.

37. What are you waiting for?
