Feelings are not good or bad. They are just feelings. We have a wide range of feelings. It’s how you manage those feels that can be helpful or hurtful. Think about it.

WARNING!
This phone number +1 (470) 770-3800 texted me this morning as Azura Fraud Protection with a fake unauthorized charge to my account. Then “Oscar” called me from the same number. This is NOT Azura Credit Union. Be careful- this scam is good at deception.

I accept BC/BS, Aetna, Sunflower Medicaid, United Medicaid, and now Healthy Blue. But don't let not having insurance stop you from seeking help with your mental health; we can discuss cash pay options that work within your budget. 🥰

What are core beliefs? Core beliefs are fundamental assumptions that influence or guide our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors about ourselves, others, and the world. They are strongly held , rigid, and may be a barrier to reaching our potential. They can contribute to low self-esteem, a negative default mindset, and cause mental health and/or substance use issues.
A couple common held core beliefs are “I am not good enough” and “I am unlovable”. These beliefs are typically subconscious.
Core beliefs are formed primarily in early childhood through external stimuli from people and the environment. These beliefs can be impacted by adverse events or trauma.
The good news?
Core beliefs can be changed! 🥰

Interactive post! I'm working on a simple Positive Affirmation project and would like input from you all. Comment ideas for “I am” statements, things some people may not believe or need to be reminded about themselves. For example, “I am strong” or “I am brave.” I'll post the final project when it's done.
