Hello Big Life Seekers,
Commitment: From this moment on, I joyfully promise to never give up on my dreams and goals. I choose to remember always that the whole world is mine to explore, and I need never be alone in figuring it out and making it just right. That I was born worthy and loveable without condition and whatever brought me to this place is just the journey to my present and future self and not the sum total of who I am or who I will become
A Course In Miracles lesson 27: “Above all else I want to see” Seeing past the distress towards the light, seeing past all of our false illusions. Tired of being depressed, tired of holding resentments over petty issues.
It’s important to understand how and why things are going well instead of assuming it’s just luck. As if you tripped over the good feeling and can never get it back again. It is our brain that decides whether something is good or bad. I was in the car the other day driving to help my friend pick up her daughter and we were stuck in traffic.
1) I Never question my value as a human
a) High five myself
b) Tapping for self-love
c) Empathy with my younger self and remember that I was always good.
2) Go back to the young child that feels bad:
a) Travel back with present-day confident and older self, and all of the people around me and remind the little girl that she is good, deserving of love and respect, and that everything will be ok
3) Handle and allow feelings
a) When emotions arise, try to observe them from an outside perspective and take note of their characteristics such as color, shape, size, and physical sensations like temperature and location in the body. Allow the feelings to happen without judgment.
b) It’s important to keep in mind that experiencing emotions doesn't necessarily mean that something has gone wrong.
c) Keep in mind that our emotions are connected to your thought, over which we have some level of control.
4) Remember that thoughts are fleeting and malleable
a) Find a better feeling or ladder thought
b) Know what your thoughts are
c) Do a thought download
5) Have Fun with our thinking
a) Instead of getting upset, try to be curious about the thoughts your brain is offering. Remember that these thoughts will come and go, but being hard on ourselves will only make the suffering worse.
b) Find the silver lining or whatever is amusing about what you are thinking.
