I've been uncomfortable with the word 'believe' for years, because for me it tends to lead to a lot of head games that do not help anything. Would it be a useful exercise to substitute 'trust' for 'believe'? I have found that if I don't think about intellectual belief but about what I trust, what is reliable, it's easier to deal with some of the rest of it. YMMV, of course.
