As the strength of your core belief lessens, you will be on a path to be able to identify a more helpful core belief. You may also set less harsh rules for yourself, which will help you to adopt new ways of behaving (strategies) that are more consistent with your new, ‘helpful’ core beliefs. For example, you may be willing to accept small mistakes, be pleased about things that you achieve, and be more inclined to take risks and to try new things.
