Not sure if this is appropriate to this discussion, but it's what's coming up for me, so thought I would share:
I'm finding that some of the life-long beliefs I've had about myself are shifting and changing as I move forward on my recovery path. My early experiences have influenced both positively and negatively, my beliefs about things/self, and as I work my program and practice mindful awareness, I realize that some things I've believed to be my truths, just aren't true, at least not anymore. That's when I get a chance to recreate myself and my life.
I also have seen others have beliefs about themselves that weren't true, and yet they would swear it was, even though their actions were quite the opposite!
