You’ve probably all heard the phrase “they have a few screws loose” being used to describe someone stuck in a bad situation. I submit that is not the problem, but rather your screws are too tight.
Have you ever assembled furniture from Ikea? You’re assembling, tightening the screws as you go along. When you get to the last screw you find you can’t even thread the screw, things are just NOT lined up. Is the solution to tighten up all the screws even more? NO, we all know what the answer is. You must loosen all the screws to give the furniture flexibility to thread the last screw. Once all the screws have been threaded, then you can tighten all the screws.
The same holds true with some of our beliefs: about ourselves, about others, about our past, about our future, about our current situation. We too often cling to our beliefs because they are OURS and we know them so well. In order for there to be dramatic change in your life you sometimes need to loosen your grip on your old beliefs to allow new more beneficial beliefs to come your way.
Your initial reaction to a suggestion may be “NO WAY, NEVER“. If you can’t let that belief go, at least loosen your screw to be “No, not right now“. That leaves the door of possibility open slightly so that in the future you could potentially take the suggestion.
Let go. Loosen your screws. Let new beliefs come into your life. You are worth it.
