A misbelief is something you are thinking and believing in your life but it is not necessarily the truth concerning the situation. Maybe it is 50% the truth which means you are more than likely assuming something about the situation. Challenge yourself to make it your goal to identify your misbeliefs in your life by being mindful and self aware of where your thoughts and feelings are coming from and how close to the truth on a 100% scale they are.  What we believe about ourselves and others in life is an integral part of our emotional stability. I cannot count the number of times I have worked with someone without any belief or faith in anything, only to find themselves lost in an abyss of emotional turmoil and emptiness. Our faith/belief system is so important. So many times when our faith or belief system is being tested we decide it is not strong enough to hold on to in relationship to the reality we are facing. We might have an anxiety/panic attack or some other emotional breakdown only to find ourselves completely hopeless believing the misbelief. You might even ask yourself afterwards. Why did I let go and stop believing? Most of the time it is because our faith needs to be built up so that it can endure the storms that life brings to us. So when you are under hopeless circumstances next time force yourself to hopefully believe! This is exactly where you need to be in order to strengthen your infrastructure to be more stable.

This concept of misbelieving can be applied to your relationships with your friends, family and even Christ in your spiritual life. Challenge yourself daily to grow by revealing your misbeliefs and honing them to the 90% -100% of what is actually true in each and every case. Watch when you feel weak about something and challenge your misbelief with the truth about what you are believing. This is a great starting point for your building a much stronger mental and emotional infrastructure, and when you might ordinarily be overwhelmed by something you just might overcome it with the truth about the situation. This can lead to a life filled and controlled by joy rather than the fear of what more than likely will never happen.
