Creating a Belief Statement
Instructions:
1. Write an exhaustive list of the reasons why you believe you will have the life and
business of your dreams. Include your skills, talents, education, philosophies,
experiences, personal characteristics, support systems and anything else you
can think of.
2. Use complete sentences and the word “I.”
3. Write as much as you can. Notice as your feelings and emotions begin to swell.
Write until you can’t think of anything else to write.
4. Stop, take a break, and then come back to your Belief Narrative and start writing
again.
5. Do this three times! This serves two purposes. First, when you take a break and
then return, you will be able to go much deeper and uncover things that aren’t
right at the surface. Second, each time you continue working on this assignment
read what you have already written. This will help get you in the right mindset
and strengthen your belief in what you have written so far.
Belief Narrative Example:
“I will have a successful business because I’m great with people and
completely believe in the products I represent. I really care about my clients and their
success. I’m a great listener and my positive, energetic and motivating personality
inspires and encourages people. I have a great attitude, I’m persistent, committed and
motivated…I also have excellent sales and marketing skills, critical for growing a
business.
(Elaborate here on past accomplishments and achievements!) Focusing on the past helps the brain recreate future success, it can recognize and the RAS will start to seek it out!
RECAP:
- Success list – start by making an excessive list of every win small and large.
- Make sure to Include Challenges (try to se how they are actually wins) – what did you learn, how did you survive?
- Reflect on all of these items and make a Belief Narrative – which is a paragraph talking about all the times you were successful or overcame challenges.
- Summarize this into a single Belief Statement
Belief Statement Examples:
“I can accomplish anything I put my mind to.”
“If I can conceive it and believe, it I can achieve it.”
“I can be, do and have anything I want.”
“Nothing can stop me when I go for something I really want.”
