Normalizing Changing Your Mind When Presented New Info

What’s coming forward right now is that we need to get more comfortable changing our minds and sharing our evolution as we learn and grow.⁣

Allowing yourself to shed old beliefs whenever new wisdom is available to you, takes humility and grace. Sometimes this means accepting that you were keeping yourself small out of fear, or that your previous beliefs were formed without the full spectrum of information. ⁣

As humans, it’s common to resist “changing your mind”, because that would mean you are telling yourself you were “wrong”, for lack of a better word, in the past. Societally, we often take on a lot of shame and shadow around being “wrong”. This distills down to a subconscious inner child/shadow belief that “if I’m wrong, I’m admitting weakness or lack of intelligence, and I won’t be loved”. This of course couldn’t be further from the truth, but many people have this deeply ingrained in their inner child shadow, and also within the ego. Remember our egos like what is familiar, so admitting you are changing your mind can be painful for the ego if you have a lot of layers of programming and protection.⁣

There is SO much strength in changing your mind (consciously and subconsciously) when presented with new information. This is how we grow and evolve on a soul level, and of course as humans in the physical world. This is also how we begin to heal ourselves and the collective. ⁣

To process emotions that come up around changing your opinion or beliefs: distill down what being “wrong” means to you, and why you have shame around it, using the Shadow & Inner Child journal prompts + DI. Repeat this DI for as many days as needed, and if you feel stuck on these emotions or that these old limiting beliefs are very deeply ingrained, you can take them through Unblocked Shadow and Unblocked Inner Child.
