What If Your Truth Isn't the Whole Story?

During a recent Awaken Your Spirit session, someone asked a question that really stayed with me:

"How do we change something we see as an absolute truth?"

Not a surface-level question, one of those deep ones that makes the room go quiet.

Because when something feels like truth, we don't question it. We build our choices around it. We shape our lives to fit it.

But sometimes, without warning, that truth starts to feel heavy.

Or too tight.

Or… just not true anymore.

And that's where the shift begins.

There are beliefs we carry that feel so real, so deeply ingrained in who we are, that we forget to question them.

They feel like facts because they've been with us a long time.

Handed down. Reinforced. Repeated. Practiced.

They live in our language, in our body, in the choices we make without thinking.

We carry beliefs like:

"I'm too much."

"I always mess things up."

"I need to keep it together for everyone else."

"If I stop performing, I'll stop being loved."

They sound like truth.

But they're not.

They're old agreements. Quiet spells we've been under for years.

What we believe, we act on.

If I believe I'm unworthy, I'll settle.

If I believe I have to stay in control, I won't ask for help.

This is how beliefs get reinforced through our actions.

The belief creates a pattern. The pattern becomes our reality.

And then we call it truth.

I've lived it.

For a long time, I believed I had to hold it all together.

That I couldn't fall apart or be too emotional because someone had to be the strong one.

I never stopped to ask where that came from; I just took it as truth.

Until I didn't.

One of the key concepts we explore in Awaken Your Spirit is the importance of staying flexible, not just in the body but also in the mind.

To soften around what we think we know.

To notice when something we've believed for years no longer fits.

To let that be okay.

To give ourselves permission to evolve.

That's strength rooted in awareness.

You're allowed to outgrow the beliefs that once protected you.

That doesn't mean you're lost.

It means you're waking up.

You don't have to explain your growth to anyone.

You don't even need a plan.

You just have to stay close to your own inner knowing.

The part of you that knows when something no longer feels true, even if you can't name why.

That's how we begin to dream a different dream.

What's one belief you're starting to question?

Say it out loud.

Write it down.

Notice how it feels in your body when you do.

That's where it starts.

This is the kind of work we do together in Awaken Your Spirit, not to fix ourselves but to remember who we are underneath the noise.

If this resonates with something you've been feeling, you're not alone.

And there's nothing wrong with you.

You're just waking up.
