In this special episode of the Building Belief podcast, host Abby Skeans takes us on a deep dive into the transformative power of belief as we observe World Mental Health Day.
The impact of belief on mental health is profound. Limiting beliefs create a kind of “inner prison,” where anxiety, depression, and self-doubt flourish. But by adopting new, empowering beliefs—such as the belief that we are worthy of love, growth, and happiness—our mental state can dramatically shift. Abby delves into the process of shifting from fear to love, explaining that this is not just a spiritual concept but a practical approach to mental well-being.
Throughout the episode, Abby shares practical steps for dissolving limiting beliefs, which often form early in life based on painful or confusing experiences. By bringing awareness to these beliefs, questioning their validity, and replacing them with empowering narratives, we can change our mental and emotional patterns for the better.
The conversation also touches on the scientific side of belief work, discussing the concept of neuroplasticity and how our thoughts and beliefs physically shape the structure of our brains. By consciously choosing new beliefs, we can rewire our neural pathways, reinforcing healthier and more empowering mental states.
Abby concludes the episode by inviting listeners to reflect on their own beliefs—asking whether these beliefs are serving their mental well-being or holding them back. She emphasizes that belief is the foundation of healing, and that shifting from fear to love allows us to live with greater purpose and emotional freedom.
On this World Mental Health Day, this episode of Building Belief serves as a reminder that mental health is not just about managing symptoms, but transforming how we see ourselves and the world. By changing our beliefs, we have the power to change our lives. Tune in to hear this inspiring conversation on the power of belief and its role in shaping mental well-being.
