Pre-requisite Tutorial: Reality and Interpretations


Visual Cue Narration
Slide 1: Introduction Welcome to this Spoken Tutorial on Understanding Beliefs.
Learning objectives In this tutorial, we will learn:
  • What are beliefs?
  • How are they formed?
  • Why do some beliefs work and some don’t?
Pre-requisite Slide Before we start, please keep a notebook ready to note your reflections.

Pause and practice when instructed.

Graphic :

Cricket match scene

two people can react differently to the same event.

Happy faces

Sad faces

Let’s start with an example.

Think of a cricket match..

Do you think everyone watching will have the same experience?

No.

Two people can react differently to the same event.

One may feel happy after an event.

Another may feel sad after the same event.

The same event can lead to different emotions.

You know why?

It’s because of their beliefs.

Graphics:

emotions are neither good nor bad.

Reality is factual

Let’s recall what we learnt earlier.

We learned that emotions guide our actions.

Emotions are neither good nor bad.

Reality is based on facts.

So it can be measured, tested or checked.

Graphics: Graphics shape our thought Interpretation is how we experience reality

It is personal.

There is no right or wrong to it.

Examples Let’s begin this tutorial with an example

Imagine you have to buy a packet of bread from a nearby store.

Graphics : show in thoughts
  • Bread is a safe and edible food item.
  • The store nearby will be open.
  • The store will have bread in stock.
  • You have enough money to buy it.
  • The shopkeeper won’t overcharge or cheat you.
  • You know how to ask for what you want.
  • It is okay for you to buy bread instead of baking it yourself.
  • You can walk safely to and from the store.
In order for you to make that decision, you may assume many things.

Let’s list them down:

  • Bread is a safe and an edible food item.
  • The store nearby will be open.
  • The bread is available in the store.
  • You have enough money to buy a packet of bread.
  • The shopkeeper won’t overcharge or cheat you.
  • You know how to ask for the packet of bread
  • It is okay for you to buy bread instead of baking it yourself.
  • You can walk safely to and from the store.
Graphics : Belief getting shaped What a long list. Right?

These assumptions are simply our beliefs.

I may have missed out on a few more beliefs.

Until we sit down and think about them, we are not aware of them.

But that’s how they are meant to be.

They help us interpret reality.

Beliefs are like contact lenses.

We notice a person’s contact lenses only when they remove them from their eyes.

Graphic on How Beliefs are Formed as per the narration

Show thought

Show people talking

Show watching try and reading books

Do you know how our beliefs are formed?

They come from what we experience, see, and hear around us.

Think about your own past experiences.

Every time you visit the shop, you find bread on the shelf.

That repeated experience builds a belief that bread is always available.

Sometimes, our beliefs come from what others experience.

A friend might tell you that the bread at this shop is always fresh.

You trust them, and that becomes part of your belief too.

Books, movies, and even cartoons shape our thinking as well.

Maybe your favourite cartoon character loves buying groceries.

Watching that, you begin to believe that buying groceries means being responsible

Family and teachers also play a big role.

When they say helping parents makes you responsible, you believe it.

That is how our beliefs are formed.

Graphics: Beliefs : right or wrong Beliefs are invisible rules you create for yourself to make decisions.

Do you think beliefs are always right?

Not really.

There can never be right or wrong beliefs.

Beliefs can only be effective or not effective based on the results.

Sitting down and checking every belief can be time-consuming.

So, when should we check our beliefs?

Graphics Show confusion: Beliefs Don’t Work We check our beliefs when we are not getting the results we want.

For example, every time you go to the shop and there is nobread.

It means your belief that the shop always hasbread may be inaccurate.

When we constantly get feedback we don’t want to hear.

For example, often people say, “You’re not responsible,” or “You’re being cheated.”

It means that your belief that the shopkeeper is trustworthy may be inaccurate.

Or when we repeatedly feel negative emotions like anger, sadness, or fear.

It’s time to check our beliefs.

Do you know what the best thing is about beliefs?

When a belief does not work for us, we can change it

It is after all, a rule that we have created for ourselves.

When Beliefs Don’t Work We will learn how to change our beliefs in the upcoming tutorials.
Summary Ok, let’s summarise what we learnt in this tutorial:

We learnt:

  • What are beliefs
  • How are they formed?
  • Are beliefs always true?
  • How do we know that our beliefs are not helping us?
Task A: Belief in Dependability Task B: Belief in Unreliability
Past Experience Teammates shared work fairly and supported each other. Teammates skipped meetings and you worked all by yourself.
Core Belief Teammates aredependable. Teammates areunreliable.
Statement of Reality “Let’s meet on Sunday to finish the presentation.” “Let’s meet on Sunday to finish the presentation.”
Your Interpretation Write your interpretation here. Write your interpretation here.
Here is an assignment for you:

Read this table carefully.

Let’s explore how our beliefs shape what we see as reality.

For Task A, think your teammates are dependable.

Write how you understand the same “Statement of Reality”.

For Task B, imagine your teammates are unreliable.

Now, write how your understanding of that statement changes.

Compare your two contrasting interpretations.

Share it with a friend or classmate.
