Your belief system is formed by what you see, hear, and experience when we were little. That’s why psychologists call early childhood the “formative years.”
A newborn’s brain contains all the neurons she’ll ever need but the connection between them haven’t been formed.
In the following years, more than 1 thousand trillions neuron connections are made. 😊 Creating our default worldview - our belief, the story we tell ourselves about how the world works and how we’re meant to function in it.
Watching my grandmom and mom growing up, my story about motherhood was:
“To be a mother means to sacrifice my dreams and myself.”
That story had always been inside me. My pregnancy brought it to the surface, together with a cascade of emotional debris: anxiety, worry, fear, depression.
A limiting belief doesn’t exist in your mind in English (or in any other languages). In most cases, you don’t know you have that belief and never put it into words.
A limiting story leads to a limiting life.
A liberating story leads to a liberating life.
The story you choose is the story you live. 🙌

what is early pregnancy means 在 A Happy Mum Facebook 的最讚貼文
At the end of last year, the boy would be asking me questions like "Mama, how many more days before I don't have school?", "How many days is it before I turn 5?", "How many more days of holidays do we have left?" and so on. Of course, it's part and parcel of growing up, learning the months and days and being able to count.
While I tried to patiently tell him the answer every time he asked - he would ask today and again tomorrow just to be sure - a part of me also wanted to tell him that life is not about counting the days, but making the days count. That means we live each day as best as we can, we have fun with our loved ones, we cherish everything we have, we make lasting memories and we try our best not to have any regrets on what we could have done better when we go to bed at night.
So instead of lamenting on how school holidays are short-lived or wishing that Christmas can last longer or whining about having to wake up early for school again, I hope that my kids will learn to treasure each day that comes and live it to its best. It's the same for myself too, instead of merely counting down how far I am along this pregnancy and being anxious to meet the baby, I tell myself to relax, take things easy, enjoy the flutters and love each day of this journey where I get to feel a life growing inside of me which is truly one of the greatest miracles ever.
Yup, it sounds like a complicated life lesson but I believe that values and beliefs have to be instilled from young and I hope deep down, my kids will know what I mean some day. In December's "Happiness is...", it's about making each day count.
