Excerpts From Chapter Three: Self-Esteem, Self-Worth For those of us with self-esteem issues, we have internalized and made what others said and thought about us, our beliefs and attitudes. We took on their negative criticism and negative self-talk and then lived our lives in accordance with these assumptions. So their negative self-talk became our negative internal critic. We started to live our lives by looking into their eyes, and depending on what we perceived we saw in those glances, those looks dictated our day. This is not a judgment on our caretakers. They are acting from their pain, because many of them were not shown how to love themselves. So they, in turn, were also expressing what they learned from their parents and their peers. If we do not feel good about ourselves and do not believe we are worthy to have whatever it is we want, no amount of action will change things for us. We need to change our thinking and how we are feeling about ourselves. From Chapter Four: Fear and Anxiety Many of us live in a place of fear every day of our lives. We fear the unknown, we fear failure, and we fear death. We fear not being good enough, we fear illness, we fear wellness, we fear abundance and we fear being alone. Our fear is a message from our higher self. When fear or anxiety appears; this is our higher self telling us that whatever we fear right now is not in harmony with what we are wanting for ourselves with regard to our dreams and desires. From Chapter Five: Relationships When we discuss relationships, the starting point is our relationship with self. When our relationships fall apart, it’s not about our counterpart. Look in the mirror; it’s about the face looking back at you. When we are confronted with conflict; it is our choice to face this challenge. Our friends, families or associates are all reflections of who we are at this point in time. Their issues mirror ours. We need to take responsibility for anything that occurs in a relationship, confident that the conflict forces us to face our issues and rectify them. As long as I do not love me, I will attract events that will show me that I am unworthy and undeserving of good things in my life. Feeling like a victim, I will attract persecutors who will confirm that I am a victim. If I judge myself, others will judge me. Praising myself, will attract praise from others. From Chapter Six: Forgiveness In forgiving them, we are not doing them a favour. In fact, they may not even care. However, we are doing ourselves a wonderful service. We deserve to be happy, and no one can be truly happy harbouring anger or resentment. Even if the cause of our negative feelings is dead, by changing our feelings toward that person we can change our lives. Experience the power of the present as soon as you flip the switch from resentment to acceptance when thinking about the departed soul who caused you so much pain. Like an old bandage wrapped around your heart, squeezing the life out of it, resentment threatens your very existence. As soon as you release your negative feelings toward the person, you’ll feel the bandage unwrap your heart, allowing it to expand and embrace all the love that is already in your life. There are no exceptions to forgiveness; there are no levels to forgiveness. There are no unforgivable sins. Remember, you made a contract with all of the people in your life to teach you lessons about love and acceptance. Even the people who wronged you did so living out their part in your relationship. They were just doing their job, as you are doing yours. It’s not the acts that continue to hurt you, it’s your unwillingness to let go of the pain associated with those acts. Hurtful as they were, the only person they hurt now is you because of your reluctance to move beyond them. Turn the page on what you don’t want, and prepare yourself for a life of what you do want when you forgive those who’ve given you pain in the past. From Chapter Seven: Health One of my clients, Earl, illustrates the body/mind connection when he was treated for a slipped disk caused by a childhood fall from a tree. After 25 years of emotional fatigue, he went to a chiropractor who told him he was “out of alignment”. We, too, are “out of alignment” with our Higher Self when we experience emotional, spiritual or physical disease. By focusing on our problems, we draw attention to the very thing we wish to be rid of. The pain is an indication of how far we are from the source of our healing. From now on, consider your pain as a point of power, an indication it’s time to alter your thinking and feeling about your physical problem in order to solve it. By reconnecting with your source, you are able to bring healing, spiritual energy to the physical manifestation. In Earl’s own words: “I realized my pain was directly linked to my physical and emotional vibration. My disconnection from Source energy that had the power to heal and rejuvenate my spirit, soul, mind and body left me restless, anxious, fearful and in pain. I have discovered that my strongly focused desire for Source energy to heal my body has been the purest medicine to be healthy and active. From Chapter Eight: Money, Business, and Success In western culture, many of us define success in terms of our personal wealth. However, the amount of our assets is less important than how we feel about them. One man’s concept of poverty is another man’s gracious plenty. It is impossible to put a numerical value on success which will suit everyone. With that in mind, let’s shift our focus from a specific goal to the process of achieving it. From Chapter Nine: Forever Young Your internal image will become your appearance, your body in height and size. The exact image that you hold in your mind, and how you feel about that image, will appear as your physical evidence. Even when we were younger, many of us hated what we saw when we looked in the mirror. As we age, our self-loathing increases. All the exercise and surgery, diets and supplements cannot fool Mother Nature, or your real self. Allow your real self to change your attitude and see how much more attractive that face in the mirror is when it looks back at you. Testimonials
