Beliefs are often formed as protective reactions and from a limited childhood perspective, meaning as adults these same beliefs no longer serve us.

Values are more an integral part of who we are.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Values can, however, be &#8216;changed&#8217; in the sense that<\/strong> many of us lead our lives from values that aren&#8217;t even ours. Instead they are &#8216;borrowed&#8217; from people around us \u2013 parents, peers, or partners. So we can identify this problem and &#8216;change&#8217; to our own values that suit us better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And values can definitely evolve as we do. <\/strong>For example, if you have the value of success, that might look like ambition when you are young. When you are older, that same value might attach to a sense of learned compassion and become justice &#8211; success not just for yourself, but for others.<\/p>\n<h2>Why do we need to know the difference between values and beliefs?<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Mistaking a value for a belief can mean you are trying to change something that probably won&#8217;t change, and vice versa &#8211; deciding a belief is a value can mean you don&#8217;t attempt to change something it could benefit you to transform.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>For example<\/strong>, if you have a core belief that the world is a dangerous place, you can trick yourself into thinking you have a personal value of security that can&#8217;t change . When really it&#8217;s a belief ,and learning to feel safe in the world could be a life changer for you.<\/p>\n<h2>Are you ready to take charge of your beliefs and values?<\/h2>\n<p>After years of living from core beliefs we have mistaken as truth, or values we have convinced ourselves are ours because they help us fit in with those we love, <strong>it can be tricky or even overwhelming to recognise what beliefs and values we need to let go of <\/strong>and what ones we need to embrace.<\/p>\n<p>If you feel at a loss of where to begin when considering your own beliefs and values, or worry that really looking at them honestly might cause more change than you know how to handle alone, <strong>do consider the support of a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/therapists.htm\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> counsellor or psychotherapist<\/span><\/a><\/strong>.
