Liminal Thinking
== The Art Of Creating Change By
Understanding, Shaping, And Reframing Beliefs ==
Beliefs form the basis of everything people say, think, and do
- These six principles constitute a theory of beliefs: how they come into being, why they are necessary, how they are reinforced over time, and why people cling to their beliefs, even when they are incomplete, obsolete, or invalid.
Beliefs are models * Beliefs are created * Beliefs create a shared world * Beliefs create blind spots * Beliefs defend themselves * Beliefs are tied to identity
- No matter who you are or what your situation is, some change is always possible.
- If there’s a situation in the world you want to change, liminal thinking can help.
The word liminal comes from a Latin root that means threshold
Literally, a threshold is a doorway
- But a threshold is also the beginning of every journey.
- A threshold is a boundary that marks a point of transition between one state and another.
Liminal thinking is the art of finding, creating and using thresholds to create change.
- It is a kind of mindfulness that enables you to create positive change.
