Deep and Relaxing Meditation For Reprogramming Limiting Beliefs

Limiting beliefs are deeply ingrained thought patterns or beliefs that hold us back from reaching our full potential and achieving our goals. 

These beliefs are often negative and self-defeating, leading us to doubt ourselves, avoid challenges, and hinder our personal growth and success. Limiting beliefs can manifest in various areas of life, such as relationships, career, health, and personal development.

Self-sabotage: Limiting beliefs create a self-fulfilling prophecy, leading us to engage in behaviors that validate those beliefs. For example, if someone believes they are not good enough to succeed in their career, they might avoid taking on new opportunities or promotions.

Fear and avoidance: These beliefs often instill fear and anxiety, making us avoid situations that challenge our beliefs or might lead to personal growth. As a result, we miss out on valuable experiences and opportunities.

Lack of confidence: When we hold onto limiting beliefs, our self-esteem and confidence suffer. We underestimate our abilities and hesitate to take on challenges, which can hinder progress and success.

Negative mindset: Limiting beliefs create a negative mindset, where we focus on what we can't do rather than what we can achieve. 

Overcoming limiting beliefs is essential for personal growth and achieving success. Here are some steps to challenge and change limiting beliefs:

Awareness: Recognize and identify your limiting beliefs. Understand how they are influencing your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Questioning: Challenge the validity of these beliefs. Look for evidence that supports and contradicts them. Often, you'll find that many limiting beliefs are based on unfounded assumptions.

Reframing: Replace limiting beliefs with empowering and constructive beliefs. Focus on your strengths, accomplishments, and potential.

It is recommended that you study in the following ways:
Step 1: Gist listening. Listen to get the main idea. (more times if necessary)
Step 2: Read the text to find out words you didn't get, then look up the dictionary. 
Step 3: Listen and imitate as much as you can without looking at the text.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
每个人多多少少都有一些烦恼，不同年龄的人烦恼的事情可能不太一样。这个采访是从5岁到90岁的人在聊他们人生的难题。今天我们来听听50岁到90岁的烦恼。
50岁：（回答：我什么时候可以退休啊？）那按照那个法定的年龄60岁退休嘛。女同志五十周岁（55岁：听说还要延长退休时间）。我家孩子在外面北漂好几年了，我想让她回来.
60岁：你就让孩子去发展去吧，发展得好就让他在那边混，混不好他自然就回来了。我呀，才60岁，就感觉身体啊跟不上了，以后70可咋办呢？
70岁：到70啊，你就到时候把你的孙子叫过来，这孩子也皮实了，你身体也就好了。难题就是我这个老伴儿呢，怕我这个高血压。菜的里头呢，又少油又少盐又少糖，不好吃。
80岁：难吃啊？难吃上我那吃去。我现在就血压高，就经常得上医院去跑，开药去。我就有一个老同志，我春节的时候去看他，住在医院里的，躺在床上相当可怜。八十多了，好几十（朋友）了。走到尽头了。
90岁：你现在呢就说也不要太难过，你也劝劝他到公园转一转。全是咱们老同志，一块儿聊聊大天。侃侃咱们过去，在一块，年轻的时候。在这方面自己想开点，也就舒畅了。我老伴儿三年前去世了。都这么大岁数了，总得要有一个人先走，但是我也很想念她。说到这儿吧。（5岁：老爷爷，您别难过。老奶奶只是睡着了，您以后碰见她，亲她一口她就醒了）你几岁？你的人生难题是什么呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

The Step Pyramid of Djoser

A

The pyramids are the most famous monuments of ancient Egypt and still hold enormous interest for people in the present day. These grand, impressive tributes to the memory of the Egyptian kings have become linked with the country even though other cultures, such as the Chinese and Mayan, also built pyramids. The evolution of the pyramid form has been written and argued about for centuries. However, there is no question that, as far as Egypt is concerned, it began with one monument to one king designed by one brilliant architect: the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara.

B

Djoser was the first king of the Third Dynasty of Egypt and the first to build in stone. Prior to Djoser’s reign, tombs were rectangular monuments made of dried clay brick, which covered underground passages where the deceased person was buried. For reasons which remain unclear, Djoser’s main official, whose name was Imhotep, conceived of building a taller, more impressive tomb for his king by stacking stone slabs on top of one another, progressively making them smaller, to form the shape now known as the Step Pyramid. Djoser is thought to have reigned for 19 years, but some historians and scholars attribute a much longer time for his rule, owing to the number and size of the monuments he built.

C

The Step Pyramid has been thoroughly examined and investigated over the last century, and it is now known that the building process went through many different stages. Historian Marc Van de Mieroop comments on this, writing ‘Much experimentation was involved, which is especially clear in the construction of the pyramid in the center of the complex. It had several plans … before it became the first Step Pyramid in history, piling six levels on top of one another … The weight of the enormous mass was a challenge for the builders, who placed the stones at an inward incline in order to prevent the monument breaking up.’

Part 2 will be added later today. Stay tuned.
