What is a belief? Beliefs are personal, not right or wrong. To believe that there are things we will never understand can be a challenge. Our beliefs about things outside our control inform our attitudes, they can cause us pain and despair, and also joy and release. What we humans can do is shift our attitude. Understanding that we do not hold all control requires a letting go. Believing that there is something, anything, that exists outside of us humans-a spirit, a god, an energy, the stars, flowers, whales, the ocean might not make sense, but it makes sense to let go of what we aren’t actually controlling. Neural plasticity allows us to change our attitudes, which in turn impacts our relationships with ourselves and others. What do you want to believe? We get to make different choices.

PRACTICE: Pay Attention/Bring Awareness to the small things that happen or you observe that don’t make sense.

• A parking spot opens up
• You see someone you were thinking about
• Anything unexpected makes you smile or feel happy
• Coincidences
• You notice a beautiful weed/flower popping through the cement
• Keep it going…..
