Discover & Shift Limiting Beliefs {Key #1 – Part 3}

Tanya Penny Occupational Therapist Vibrant Body Abundant Life Coach

Hello, I’m Tanya Penny, Occupational Therapist, Vibrant Body & Abundant Life Coach. In this post we will be focusing on Key #1 of the Vibrant Body and Abundant Life Blueprint – Your Beliefs. If you haven’t signed-up to learn about all 10 keys yet, you can receive the 10 Keys Blueprint Guide, audio lesson and guided Therapeutic Meditation Practice by clicking here.

In this post, we are going to talk about why it’s important to discover your beliefs, where these beliefs come from, as well as tips & tools you can start using today to discover your beliefs and begin shifting them.

Why take the time to discover and shift your beliefs? We’re going to begin today and then go more deeply in the Vibrant Body & Abundant Body Mastery program. I invite you to check it out at the link below. The truth is that your beliefs 100% affect your behavior and your actions (or lack of). Your beliefs also cause emotions. They can cause happiness, peace or fear, anxiety, depression, anger (fill in the blank). If your beliefs are not in alignment with your true self, they’re holding you back in one or more life areas. That is how we end up eventually getting sick, because we’re not acting from a place of our heart’s desire, soul’s desire, our authentic self. We’re acting from those ego conditioned, limiting beliefs which are full of negativity, scarcity, etc. That’s why you want to take the time to discover and then learn tools to shift your beliefs.

Where do beliefs come from? In a nutshell, they come from family, religion, cultures, society. Also from past experiences you had where something traumatic, unpleasant, or challenging happens…and then you make up a story, a “belief” around why that happened. You’re usually not conscious/aware that you’re doing that, it just automatically happens. That’s the way the mind works.

We have beliefs in each of seven life areas: Self (how we talk to and treat ourselves), Health (mind and body), Love/Relationships, Spirituality, Money/Material, Passions (hobbies) and Purpose/Career. When you’re working with me in a program, one of the things I do is help you to uncover those self-limiting beliefs that you’ve been holding onto that have ultimately made you sick, whether it’s anxiety, depression, weight gain, addiction (many addictions) or an illness like Multiple Sclerosis, cancer, thyroid, you name it.

Here are some tips and tools that you can start using today to begin to shift your beliefs.

1) First discover what beliefs you hold. There are a couple of ways to do this. Look at your past history. When looking at a certain life area, you want to ask yourself “given what I saw and heard, what happened to me, and/or how I was treated or not treated when I was growing up, what belief might I hold about myself and that life area”?
Then look at your current reality. For example, look at your relationships/love. Let’s say that you’re in a relationship that is very controlling, maybe verbally abusive. A Lot of my clients have suffered from abuse in the past and are currently in what I would consider to be an abusive relationship- control, manipulation, verbal and maybe even physical and/or sexual. If you are in that type of relationship, I’m guaranteeing that you must be holding a belief that says, I’m not good enough, I deserve to be treated that way (some combo of that), because you were treated a certain way growing up, maybe you didn’t receive respect, maybe you were controlled or abused growing up. There are many beliefs, but I am just picking the most common. If you’re struggling with finding the belief, a lot of people come to me so that I can help them discover what those beliefs are. I look at your history, and your current reality, and I can find the belief. That’s part of my genius, my intuition, my talent. There are going to be a few core ones, it’s not like we have to go through a million beliefs to fix or shift it.

2) Once you find the beliefs, write them down. Don’t leave them just running around in your head, face them. Then write an opposite truth, even if you don’t believe it right now.

3) Next learn tools to support you to shift them. Many people use EFT or one of many other tools. One of the tools that I teach is the Guided Therapeutic Meditation practice. . The cool thing is that you don’t have to stay awake as you listen, because beliefs are held in the subconscious mind and more easily accessed when asleep. If you fall asleep, it’s still working and possibly even better. Other times you’ll stay awake and that’s ok too. Sometimes we’re meant to shift them more consciously.

Get started with those tips and tools today, and then if you want more guidance, support, wisdom and tools check out the programs below.

If you have any questions or want to chat with me to see if one of my programs is a good fit for you, email me at tanya@tanyapenny.com.

If you know of anyone else this may resonate with or maybe they need this message, please feel free to share this with others.

I look forward to supporting you!

xoxo Tanya 🙂

Healing Your Emotions, Trauma & Illness {Key #1 – Part 2}

Tanya Penny Occupational Therapist Vibrant Body Abundant Life Coach

Hello, I’m Tanya Penny, Occupational Therapist, Vibrant Body & Abundant Life Coach. In this post we will be focusing on Key #1 of the Vibrant Body and Abundant Life Blueprint – You Are Divine ~ Your Feelings & Emotions. If you haven’t signed-up to learn about all 10 keys yet, you can receive the 10 Keys Blueprint Guide, audio lesson and guided Therapeutic Meditation Practice by clicking here. Feelings or symptoms in our body, from a mind/body healing perspective, are letting us know that we are out of alignment or balance in one or more areas of our life. The seven life areas are self (how we talk to and treat ourselves), health (mind and body), spirituality, passions, purpose, money/material and love/ relationships. When your body gives you a symptom, what we typically do is we get afraid or angry and try to resist it, push it away. When really what we want to begin to do, if you haven’t already, is to get curious and ask the symptom/feeling/area in your body “Why are you here? What is it you are trying to tell me or show me?” What I often do is have my clients use, as a reference, the Louise Hay book “Heal Your Body”. If you have the big version, look in the back as it lists all the symptoms that you might have and gives you the probable mental and/or emotional causes. That can often be helpful to decipher the clues that the body is giving … Continue reading →

Your Divine Desires {Key #1 – Part 1}

Tanya Penny Occupational Therapist Vibrant Body Abundant Life Coach

Hello, I’m Tanya Penny, Occupational Therapist, Vibrant Body & Abundant Life Coach. In this post we will be focusing on Key #1 of the Vibrant Body and Abundant Life Blueprint – You Are Divine ~ Your Desires. If you haven’t signed-up to learn about all 10 keys yet, you can receive the 10 Keys Blueprint Guide, audio lesson and guided Therapeutic Meditation Practice by clicking here. Learning to re-connect with all parts of you is key to healing and receiving abundance in your life. The first self-connection area we are focusing on is connecting with your desires. Before we move into connecting with yourself and your desires, I feel it is important to share a bit about what could block you from doing so. One of the biggest is not accepting who you truly are, usually because we weren’t accepted or shamed for who were and what we wanted while growing up. Another big block is that we don’t take the time. We don’t take time to connect with ourselves because we are too busy – working too much, people pleasing, doing everything for others… leaving little time to connect with ourselves. Or we might take time to discover what our desires are, but then not fulfill them because – we’re afraid of what other people might say or we don’t think we’re going to do them good enough. Maybe you’ve been taught that you can’t have what you desire, you don’t deserve it, or you’re not worth it. So … Continue reading →

Healing Multiple Sclerosis

Tanya Penny Occupational Therapist Vibrant Body Abundant Life Coach

On September 23, 2004, I was running the St Luke’s Women’s 5k. Now, it is important to tell you that I was not feeling well even before the run. For a week prior I was not sleeping and having trouble finding words/speaking. My husband thought it best I didn’t go, BUT because I was a pusher & pleaser, I insisted on running it anyways. After the race, I was really struggling to speak, at all. I assumed it was just because I was tired so went home and took a nap. Several hours later I woke and was no better. I was scared. I decided to go to finally go to the ER as we thought maybe I had a stroke. 5 hours later I was given the devastating diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. I worked as an Occupational Therapist with people who had M.S….and now I was on the other side. My days of running and hiking could be over. Many end up in a wheelchair. Over the next 3 years I continued to have many relapses that led to losing vision in my right eye, numbness and weakness in my arms & legs, trouble walking, pain, and worsening anxiety & depression. The medication I was taking was not helping and gave me flu-like symptoms every other day. In September 2007, after another bad relapse, my inner voice said there had to be another way. I stopped taking my MS medication that day and started my alternative/MB healing path. Today … Continue reading →

Autoimmune Disorders & Attacking Yourself

Tanya Penny Occupational Therapist Vibrant Body Abundant Life Coach

Sadly, I began “attacking” myself when I was very young…probably around the age of 7 or 8 years old, or perhaps even earlier. As with most of us, it started with my thoughts. A little voice in my head judging me and telling me I was stupid, ugly, fat, and never doing enough or good enough. These attacking thoughts led to nasty, unkind words I would hear myself speak out loud when looking in the mirror, reading my report card or if I made a “mistake”. My words lead to destructive actions… physically pushing myself too hard at work, starving myself(or binging), drinking too much, putting others needs first, and allowing men to treat me like shit to name a few. Even though I rarely attack myself anymore, writing this still stirs up lots of emotions for me as I believe my Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis was due to me attacking myself. Truth: Any Autoimmune Disorder is caused by the body attacking itself. In other words, YOU attacking yourself with your thoughts, words, and actions. As you may know, I have healed myself of the M.S. and am passionate about supporting others to heal Autoimmune Disorders and illness too. Despite what western medicine says, A.I. can be healed.
