How To Find The Source Of Beliefs
Since we first offered belief-elimination programs on the Internet last November many people have said to me: The source of the beliefs you give in the belief-elimination videos might be the source for most people, but not all are true for me. Please help me find the source of my beliefs. So I decided to devote this week’s blog post to providing you with the principles we teach Certified Lefkoe Method facilitators so that you will be more effective in finding the source of your beliefs when the sources we suggest on the videos aren’t true for you. 1.

But there is a specific type of belief that results in “driven” behavior. And it is formed in a very specific way. Let me explain. Imagine you are a young child who has created a host of negative beliefs about yourself or about life. (Very few of us escape childhood without forming a bunch of negative self-esteem beliefs.
