Robin then started an audio by Esther Hick's discussing Illogical Beliefs: This is a YouTube video

Following is the group's discussion:
From Esther:
If a thought is satisfying-it comes from your inner being.
Release old beliefs that don't serve you anymore
Move toward new ever-changing beliefs
Release the old stories
Catch things as early as possible, before the negative momentum gets strong, but if that has already happened, then give yourself a distraction, like a nap, a shower, a walk, etc. Disrupt the negative
energy.
Robin asked for examples of illogical beliefs that people used to hold. Examples were many: taking on fear of not being accepted if you didn't go along with what was expected, fear indoctrinated by religion, valuing money over other things, believing what parents, teachers, doctors and other authority figures told us, whether they were right or not.
Tools that the group suggests:
Soften and lessen your focus on negative ideas. Replace the thought with positve, desired thoughts.
We collect beliefs, we need to examine and release those that don't serve us now.
90% of our thoughts are the same everyday...which means we are mainly living in the past... move your thoughts to the present by examining them.
Question the beliefs you have, become aware of them and release those that don't serve you.
In uncertain situations, we revert to old programming, awareness can help you see that others are acting from old programming, too. It may be easier to forgive them to know that.
Get a hold of the feeling behind the belief, determine whether it is serving you for the future.
If a beleif feels good, pay attention, it is inner guidance speaking to you.
If you feel guilt or fear, visualize a 'red flag', decide how you will respond.
When faced with a situation you can decide to move your physical body, change your environment, and work to change the meaning of the thoughts.
Do a Rampage of Appreciation!
Be conscious in situations as much as possible.
You can't change someone else, focus on changing yourself.
Celebrate when you notice you have made progress.
Address thoughts one at a time, can't do lots of thoughts at once.
Meditate
Be proactive.
Stay in your own lane.
Positive support from others is very helpful.
Find beauty in everday things, like traveling, put yourself in a better state of mind, keep the chain of synchronicity going.
There are only terrific moments and semi-terrific moments, the semi-terrific moments are leading you to the terrific moments.
Make a new path for empowering thoughts to run on by thinking empowering thoughts repetitively.
Make out a 3 by 5 card with empowering thoughts and put it where you will read it often.
Think of a positive word for each letter of the alphabet, teach this game to children.
We have the power to change our thoughts. Awareness is the key.
