Every belief you hold is ideological. An ideology is merely a cohesive set of stories you tell yourself about how the world works.
“I have to get to school on time. If I don’t set my alarm for 6 am, I won’t have enough time to get ready and will miss the bus” is ideological. It tells a story about schools, about hierarchy and our place in it, about how time works, about our social obligations and the requirements we face to present ourselves publicly, about how public services work.
Your beliefs are not somehow value-neutral, an ideology-free default. You are ideological.
