Where do you think this belief came from?

You might think about specific moments, repeated experiences, or how others responded to you.

Step 3

How has this belief shaped your behavior?

Notice how this belief may influence your actions, relationships, or decisions.

Step 4

How does this belief affect you today?

You might notice it in your confidence, boundaries, self-talk, or how you respond to others.

What might be a more supportive belief?

This is not about forcing change. It is about gently opening space for a different way of seeing yourself.
