Some false beliefs are born out of our own negative experiences. We come to random conclusions like, “that food was terrible, I’m never eating at that restaurant again.” We believe, in some way, that all of the food is bad or all of the servers are rude and we tell everyone not to go there and never step foot in the building again. . . Or maybe we say, “relationships are scary and there’s no one out there who will understand me anyways,” and we proceed to isolate our self and avoid emotional intimacy. . . Many of our false beliefs are actually not our own, though. We adopt them from the role models we were exposed to as children. Namely, our parents, but it could be many other people too. . . My dad was always a very serious traveller. He had a schedule and a list of activities that he would, at the expense of others, do his very best to abide by. The itinerary was his way of trying to maximize “fun,” maybe to make the trip worth it. I don’t know. We did have fun… but it usually came at a price. . . My mother travelled cheap. She wanted to maximize a trip by doing the most things for the least amount of money. All hail the budget! . . So as I plan my trip across the country, I’m thinking of ways to have fun and save money… and my thoughts digress into ideas that strangely resemble these attitudes and beliefs that don’t belong to me, but to my parents. . . I’ve found a way to beat it. When ever I’m faced with false beliefs, I find the simplest way to blast them is to do exactly that thing that my false beliefs tell me not to do. . . I recognize the fear, the pattern, identify the source — and then rebel. . . I had an idea about our trip. My brain said, “that doesn’t make sense. What about money. What about time. It’s not logical or rational. What will people think? You don’t have to do that.” . . Yeah, I’m gonna do that thing. I can’t tell you what it is yet. But it’s obviously related to the trip itinerary. . .
