I disagree. Very few beliefs I've had to go and do something else to change once I became aware of them. Once I became aware of my beliefs, I tend to just choose the alternative belief easily and naturally. It just doesn't make sense. Mostly, if I find a sensible new belief, I can just absorb it unless I have a limiting, contradictory belief in me, too.
On the other hand, it might be different from person-to-person.
The only ones which haven't changed by themselves are complicated or part fo another belief structure like the following:
- I've discovered that I equate solving interesting intellectual puzzles with solving actual problems.
- I also mix up effort with value.
