So true but not easy to do. I am in the midst of changing the thought patterns that were indoctrinated into me by my parents, the Catholic church and the schooling by Catholic nuns. Up to the age of seven, children are in theta mode which means they absorb all critcisms as Truth and unfortunately live their lives accordingly. You're stupid, you're lazy, you're selfish, you're useless, you'll never amount to anything and the list goes on. These programs are insidious as you are not aware that they are running in the background at all times. You try to make changes only to fall back into these patterns again and again. Re-inforcing the belief you cannot change. EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a way to clear the stored emotions held in the body. Mary Sise is one person who is teaching this method.
