- Our beliefs about ourselves.
What is it that keeps us believing what we do?
- Our history from childhood to this morning.
- Our thoughts and feelings that come from how we see ourselves throughout our days.
- Our inner mean girls that remind us constantly that change is too scary to attempt.
The whole point to learning more about ourselves is to understand those things that hold us back and trigger us to sit in a headspace that sucks.
Because it’s pretty hard to conquer our demons, big or little, when you can’t stop thinking that you can never really make those changes you want to have so badly, or that you feel like a complete loser sometimes.
Let’s just say that every day, every hour, can challenge our beliefs about ourselves. It’s a working opportunity to practice courage. And the Universe, our awesome spiritual therapist, will consistently smack you in the noggin with that message if you ignore it. I love that about the Universe!
Ready to practice some of that courage, sweetie?
Think active. You don’t move, nothing moves.
Actively do something to understand your childhood history and how it may still be holding you hostage today. The simple question is how has it left you feeling about yourself and how do those feeling show up for you? Connect the dots from experiences you’ve had and how you manage your experiences now. I’ve seen very angry women all the way to terribly sad women, and anywhere in between. Remember that this exploration can be super sensitive and touch on many parts of you that you maybe haven’t visited in a long time. Don’t hesitate to get some therapeutic support to help you through it.
Actively notice your thoughts and feelings throughout the day and in different situations. Are they supporting you or are they pulling the rug out from underneath your self worth?
Remember from last week’s blog…this is a huge one when you are starting to take responsibility for yourself and you’re happy.
Actively notice your inner mean girl messages. Calling those chickies out for how and when they control and learning to manage them will help you move forward. Remember that your inner mean girls will NEVER go away. They are a part of each one of us and while they are controlling, they really just want to protect you. When you get to know them and understand how/when they get to you, you can tell them that you are in fact a warrior princess and that they can stand down so you can look after yourself.
When you’re held back from doing the things you want to do and being the woman you want to be because of negative beliefs about yourself, doing this work is bottom line to dealing with the blocks that those beliefs have created.
I’d really love to tell you that it’s a quick fix to remove the blocks but it’s not.
And we shouldn’t expect it to be. The blocks weren’t created yesterday. But they are perfect places to explore, grow, and explore some more.
Remember that each new understanding opens up a new path for you to follow, a new place for you to grow. New feelings about yourself and your world. New confidence for tackling whatever comes our way. The chance to believe something great about yourself.
Where do you want your new path to lead?
