If you’re single and looking for your soulmate, Valentine’s Day can feel like the whole world is at a party you didn’t get invited to (ugh). It’s totally normal to want a healthy, long-term relationship, and yes, Valentine’s Day can bring that desire sharply into focus (um thanks, Hallmark).

Has this ever happened to you? You know that you have the right skill set for a fantastic job opportunity you really want, but you talk yourself out of applying, or you don't quite sell yourself in the interview. Or your partner assures you that they are not going to leave you, but on a deep level you can't help constantly expecting them to walk out the door.
When we act in ways that go against what we know on an intellectual level, it's often because there's something in our energy field – an unconscious belief – working against us. It might be something like, 'I don't deserve good things' or 'I'm not good enough' - and even though you know logically that that just isn't true, something within you keeps attaching to that limiting belief.
