Myths are fictional stories that we choose to believe are true. Most likely, you have a slew of myths you live by without even realizing it. You might tell yourself things like: "I can't count on anyone", "There's nothing I can do to change things", "No one cares", "If I ask for help, people will let me down", "Bad things always happen to me", "I have to be perfect", "Anger is unacceptable", "I'm too needy", etc, etc... you get the idea. These are myths about fear, limitation and impossibilities.
You may have learned these myths yourself or someone may have taught them to you. However they came to be, you may want to ask yourself why you hold onto these stories. More importantly, you may want to ask yourself if you are ready to let go of these old stories and learn a new way of being in the world.
People like what is famillar. Letting go of old beliefs can be scary. People were scared the first time they heard the world was not flat. They resisted the truth and wanted to hold on to their old way of thinking, even if it was wrong. This is human nature. It's ok to feel scared about change, even positive change. Support can help you understand why you hold on to old ways of thinking and how to move forward into a happier, more fulfilling way to live.
