Inherited beliefs play a significant role in shaping our perceptions and decisions. These beliefs, often formed in childhood through observation and interaction with family, culture, and society, influence how we view ourselves and the world. Understanding their origin and impact can empower us to live more authentically.
In this episode, we explore how these beliefs are formed and how you can identify and transform them to align with your true self.

Attention Seeking Behaviour Explained - Why You Need to STOP Seeking Approval!
Understand attention seeking: its causes, impacts, and solutions.
For many, attention seeking begins with a constant need for approval and validation from others. Individuals often seek reassurance from peers, family, or authority figures, craving recognition and approval that they feel is missing from within.
Such behavior can manifest in various ways. Some people may overtly seek attention through their looks, status, or achievements, while others might engage in more subtle forms, such as people-pleasing or overworking to gain praise. Regardless of how it presents, the core issue is a disconnection from one's true self.
With awareness and effort, it is possible to overcome attention seeking behaviour. By understanding its roots and embracing our inherent worth, we can live more authentically and find fulfilment from within.

How to Let Go of Anger, Resentment and the Need for Revenge
Anger, resentment and the desire for revenge are powerful emotions that can often lead to a cycle of negativity and distress, but you can overcome them!
Understanding the roots of anger, resentment, and the need for revenge and retribution is essential for personal growth and healing. By recognizing that we are the creators of our emotions, we can take responsibility for our reactions and emotional triggers.
It is crucial to understand the origins of our anger and the beliefs that fuel it. Tracing these feelings back to beliefs often formed in childhood experiences can unravel the patterns that no longer serve us. This process allows us to replace harmful, anger-generating beliefs with healthier, more empowering ones.
In this teaching, we explore how letting go of anger, resentment, and the desire for revenge opens the door to a life filled with compassion, understanding, and inner peace.
With your hosts, David James Lees (ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher) and Alexandra Lees (mindset and business coach).
