One of the most grounding parts of any relationship is – how we set our beliefs. We often connect, because the pattern of our beliefs certainly intersect at some point. It may be about belief in the institution of friendship, scientific law, religion, beliefs about yourself, your family, your partner.hobbies, life, or the universe, and the list can go on…

A research has shown that when our strongly or deeply held beliefs are called into question, the amygdala, a part of the brain that is responsible for processing emotions, is in all gears up mode, as if we were encountering danger, leaving us disinterested, and sometimes, in no mood to consider a difference of opinion from the other side.

However, there are still ways one can figure an easy way out and that is – trust. You may be an amazing guitarist, have an impressive personality, or extremely charming. But, does that helps you, or gets you closer to someone- for meanwhile, of course, yes! but for long term, it’ll be no, mostly. Trustworthiness is a key component and acts like a sugar rush to our brains. You might have observed that you would easily surrender to something you greatly trust, maybe, your secret diary, friend, family member, or even God. The reason is that we strongly hold credibility and there exists established trust, over the past years.

People tend to let out their life experiences with some close, and not with others. It can be either because of similarity in opinions, thoughts, or some sort of established trust to confide in the person.

One of the best ways to begin with the journey of persuasiveness, is to begin with ease, followed by aligning your opinions or recommendations with a statement of theirs.

End note- Decide on what your beliefs are? Know that belief is a thought in your mind which can be worked upon, and create whatever you want, in any direction you choose.
