The Beta Version of You: A New Perspective on Growth

There’s a prevailing notion that convenience can paralyze us; the sheer number of options can overwhelm our decision-making process. While there’s truth to this, I don’t think that’s the sole reason we might ditch our first yoga session for a binge-watch of a show like Transparent. It’s often easier to stay put—physically in our homes and emotionally in our comfort zones. Many of us recognize that our long-standing struggles stem from unconscious beliefs, and choosing stagnation when we yearn for progress simply reinforces those beliefs.

We may find it challenging to embrace healthier lifestyles because, deep down, we might be invested in remaining as we have always been: the sickly, the weak, the outcast, the broken. We cling to old narratives and rely on outdated patterns of thinking that we formed in childhood. When we fail to question these thoughts, we tend to revert back to them. Every time we neglect to act on what we know is right, we’re reinforcing old beliefs about who we are.

Reflecting on my childhood, I remember how my stepfather, a gadget enthusiast, transformed our home into a tech wonderland. He installed intercom systems on every phone, often eavesdropping on our conversations. Our basement became a treasure trove of cables, batteries, and old devices. One evening, he proudly brought home a Betamax VCR, declaring, “This is the future.”

Yet, it quickly became obsolete, barely a blip in our collective memory. The unconscious images we hold of ourselves are akin to that Betamax—often outdated yet still influencing our lives. We can keep relying on these narratives, but wouldn’t it be wiser to invest in our future and discard those obsolete models?

This reflection leads us to consider how we can step forward into new realms of possibility.

In summary, it’s essential to recognize the unconscious beliefs we cling to that keep us stagnant. Just like that Betamax, our outdated self-perceptions can hinder our growth. By challenging these beliefs and investing in new narratives, we can pave the way for personal development and fulfillment.
