BELIEFS can be difficult to identify as we live with them and they seem like part of who we are; and ths is so - but, if they are undermining your true choices in life and not helping you to create the life you want, you may want to change them.
STEP ONE: identify the belief e.g. 'Life is hard.'
STEP TWO: identify how you want your lfe to be. What would you need to believe about the world and about yourself in order for that to be so?
STEP THREE: begin to act as if this belief is true. Notice what happens in your life to support this. Make lists of how the truth of this belief manifests.
STEP FOUR: what will support you in maintaining this belief e.g. saying 'no' to others more often and saying 'yes' to yourself.
STEP FIVE: enjoy the journey!

I totally agree with your information about beliefs. The can be so uplifting or so debilatating, so recognising the latter and doing something about it is essential. If your subconscious is constantly trying to achieve the messages you send it, they had better be positive ones!
