I was having a conversation with a friend the other day when it dawned on me how easy it is to forget why negative patterns keep occurring, despite our best intentions. Here's the reason—and this is the key—because locked underneath our thoughts and positive intentions are beliefs. And if our beliefs run counter to how we wish it was or declare it can be, things won't change. We need to change that underlying belief.
Dr. Bruce Lipton, in his book The Biology of Belief wrote the following about this fundamental key:
"Positive thoughts have a profound effect on behavior and genes but only when they are in harmony with subconscious programming. And negative thoughts have an equally powerful effect. When we recognize how these positive and negative beliefs control our biology, we can use this knowledge to create our lives filled with health and happiness."
