Knowledge is
power!
It is
knowledge that allows us to do things differently.
We live with
habitual thinking and actions and we often do not evaluate or question whether
they are really working for us. We assume that we are wrong and/or failing in
some way if they are not, instead of pausing, questioning and responding
differently.
Do we ask
where the messages come from?
Who gave them
us; the media, parents, family, schools, TV, books.
Do we
realize that our families have had messages passed on from their history and
they believe these as truths and pass them on?
To empower ourselves,
let’s recruit Albert Muse again. Albert
Muse (from Jill Badonsky’s Nine
Modern Day Muses and a Body Guard) would love us to break the rules and ask
questions. He would want us to not
assume that the first answer is the right answer.
Which of
these beliefs or messages do you hold:
I must be liked or accepted by important
people in my life. I must be successful, achieving in everything
if I am considered worthwhile. It is easier to avoid facing life’s
difficulties and responsibilities. The past can affect one’s life and cannot be
altered. It is easier to just say yes and keep the
peace.
Choose one
of these that really seems to resonate.
Now complete
the following sentences, without too much thinking if possible:
I should … Because … I got this belief/message from … They got it from … I should … Because … I got this belief/message from … They got it from …
With the
help of Albert Muse, let’s take the above and continue for each one:
Albert would suggest that I … Because … I will do this because … I will acknowledge myself for trying
something different by …
When you
think of "trying something different", make the step small, because you are more likely to achieve that
and start to create a new pathway in your brain, a new habit.
I
congratulate you on being on the way to empowering yourself to emerge as the
person you really deserve to be. Enjoy!
Here's
something else new to try: how about booking a free30 minute consultation with me? I love forward to supporting you!
Love
