And that's how we develop beliefs.

So if I hit my head against a wall,

I'll think that hurts.

I shouldn't do that again.

Maybe I'll do it a second time just to make sure.

Yep, that definitely hurt.

I know that banging my head against the wall is not a good thing to do.

That's a belief.

But some of these beliefs that we develop actually aren't necessarily true.

So if I can take us back...

to Brexit, we had lots of people who absolutely 100% believed that leaving Europe was the right thing to do with virtually no evidence upon which to base that decision.

You also had people who believed that staying in Europe was the right thing to do with no evidence upon which to base that opinion.

But we all have these really strong beliefs.

So the phrase that this ends up with is beliefs are not truths.

Just because I think something is true doesn't necessarily mean that it is true.

And when you go back and apply that to these money stories and these money beliefs around ourselves, it can be a really helpful way of just saying to yourself, is this belief actually creating good outcomes for me?

And if it isn't, what would be another belief that might create a better outcome?

The phrase that particularly resonates with that with me is, I just want the money in my hands.

I like it under the mattress.

That's right.
