[03:00] Beliefs Are Your Barometer

What if I told you that our beliefs, not our skills, not our communication, not our relationships, not how much money we have… What if I told you that our beliefs are the number one factor that determines all types of success in 2025? Would you believe me?

Well, the belief set that you're listening to me through is going to inform what's possible and what's not possible. Most people are prisoners of their own mindset and here's why.

There have been many, many studies around animals, specifically rats, even horses, that when they are jailed in a cell, or when a horse is tied to a fence, or when even human beings are brought up with a certain structure of slavery that when they become liberated and their environment shows them that they can walk out of the jail cell at any time, they don't.

Elephants do this too. Have you ever seen elephants at the circus? This massive two-ton animal and there's a circus conductor with a little whip, and this little whip is so fearful that the elephant trained since birth will not go against the conductor in the circus.

The same thing happens with horses. Horses get tied to objects from when they're very young, And then when they're this massive beast that could literally break a fence with their legs, just the fact that the horse's mouth, the horse's head is tied to a fence post, keeps the horse still.

We're no different. We are not that different than animals because I believe that we are half beast and half spirit. So in 2025, things are accelerating like never before. Look at AI and technology and information and social media. And the speed of technology, if you look at Moore's law, doubles every year and gets 50% cheaper every year.

Now, it's not gonna slow down. Technology's not gonna slow down. Evolution is running at a much smaller pace. Evolution goes slow, yet consciousness is accelerating.

So we have 3 forces at play here when it comes to your being affected so deeply by your beliefs.

Your beliefs are your barometer. So if your beliefs are not aligned to your purpose in 2025, it is going to be metaphysically, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and financially impossible for you to be the person that you know you're capable of.

But here's the great thing. You hold the keys to unlock your own jail cell. You hold the keys and the will to be with me on this podcast and to actually deep into the 5 sides of yourself. Physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and financial. These are the 5 sides that we nourish or we starve with our unconscious or conscious beliefs.

This is why I'm saying your beliefs are your barometer in 2025. And so in the next 10 minutes, we're going to go into the tactical, practical ways you can be and what you can do so that you can have exactly the life that you want. Let's dig in…

[10:05] The Power of Thoughts

So if your beliefs are your barometer, what are the unconscious beliefs or even conscious that you journaled about and just choose that one thing.

This is where people get really, really set off and they become overwhelmed because they try to change 3 things or 5 or 10 things. Don't do that. Change one thing and commit to it wholeheartedly with humility, with vulnerability, by sharing it in tribe, in community, or with another person. And then ask that person, can you support me in my commitment? Can you support me in my accountability to resetting my barometer?

So that may have felt a little jarring, but I promise you if you do it, it'll feel less and less challenging to do each time. This was both a spiritual and scientific mental practice. But let's talk a little bit more about the science.

There are thousands of studies showing that neuroplasticity in the brain is not only real, it's neurological. So it's plastic that is getting shifted by the habitual thought patterns that we allow ourselves think.

Here's a great example. Your brain is wired to think thoughts and then repeat those thoughts as a habitual loop. That's why grooves that get run into the earth from rain or from water or from streams Become even more carved out your is no different the thoughts that you think could essentially be water and the tapestry of your brain Is the earth that you allow yourself to think thoughts that are negative?

To think thoughts that are harmful to self or others, the more those are going to get grooved in. But here's the paradox. The more that you consciously seek out the evidence that you're safe, that you're supported, that you have all the resources coming to you, you have all the network, all the community, all the money, all the love from self, and others, the more you are actually tricking or training to seek out the neuroplastic pathways where that abundance can actually come in.

So here's the mindset shift that we must do in 2025. It is not positive thinking. It is not good vibes only. Positive thinking does not work. It's about alignment.

See, the alignment of our beliefs actually allow us to have the neurology match the person that know we can become. It's about the neurology. So when it comes to a mindset shift, we first and foremost have to approach the beliefs and the neurology behind the fact of why that belief is there in the first place.

Now, there are many episodes that we'll link in the show notes today, JoshTrent.com/699. And this is a place where you can go to start deepening your journey in the mental portion of the Wellness Pentagon. But I'll tell you that anytime we have a mental journey, it is also going to be a spiritual journey as well. Here's why.

The body cannot live without the mind and vice versa. We are a soul inhabiting the body. So as we go into this audit of our beliefs, write down your core beliefs about money, write down your core beliefs about relationships, health, and success. Are they empowering or are they limiting?

Turn off every limiting belief. Get them down on paper, write them down right here, and know that repetition is what rewires your brain. It's in this conscious repetition and the flushing out of our unconscious beliefs that are harmful to self or others we actually become free.

I mean, I just got a chill in my whole body right now saying that. Feel into this. It is in the repetition of writing down, of practicing the awareness of the beliefs that are keeping that actually yields us liberation.

If we're the amalgamation of the 5 people that we spend the most time with. Audit your people this year. Audit your people. Do I enjoy hanging out with my 5 closest contacts, my family and my friends? Liberation is not always easy because a lot of these relationships that we formed, they actually created this network or this spider web to keep us stuck, but we don't even know that we don't know it…

[19:00] Make 2025 Your Year

There is never a perfect time for you to start. And actually the only perfect time for you to start is now. It's when you're becoming aligned. It's the alignment of the beliefs that shape the fabric and really the lens of your barometer. This is so key. This is so big.

If I can just share with you 1 more thing, your beliefs shape your reality. Align them and 2025 won't just be another year. It'll be your year. This is your year. This is your life. This is the place where everything can change. Do you feel it? Do you feel it in your heart? Do you feel it in your soul?

This is where everything changes because you say so. So write me, [email protected]. Tell me your dreams, tell me your alignment, tell me the beliefs that are blocking the barometer that you're committed to letting go of.

I'll share with you my beliefs. There's a story, there's a belief that it's become conscious, it was unconscious. And the belief in me said, how are you going to crack a million in 2025?

How are you gonna hold the community? How are you gonna hold your family? How are you gonna hold your business? And you know what my belief is now?

That I'm gathering evidence, that I'm being vulnerable with my men's groups that I'm even sharing with you right now, you know exactly how I'm fortifying the new belief. I'm fortifying the new belief by sharing it with you. I'm fortifying the new belief by sharing, by holding up the lantern.

Because when I shine a lantern, I shine a lantern on my stuff and I shine it on yours too. That's what a true leader is. Leaders hold lanterns.

So write in the comments below, what belief is holding you back? What belief are you committed to letting go of in 2025? And this is the key, how are you going to practice it? What is your practice for being liberated?
