Defining blocks to higher self
Low Self-Esteem - we all have it, where does it come from?
“You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it.” Einstein
Where does low-self-esteem originate?
1. Karma – energy from past experiences/choices
2. Family – often, through actions of family, lessons misunderstood or not appropriate for our individual expression create negative self image
3. School – conformity, no one is special, different is bad
4. Society – just get a job, we tend to feel unappreciated, a means to an end
5. Self – angry/frustrated with conforming, we react/rebel/ relinquish our individuality, choose to be hostile, passive aggressive/aggressive, bad workmanship/ stress on past mistakes and mind’s image of self
How do we combat these seemingly unsurmountable obstacles?
Mantras
1. I am thankful and grateful for all my many blessings: (list them all) Read the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address
2. “I don’t necessarily believe everything I think – does this thought serve me?” ~ Wayne Dyer
3. “Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.” ~ Wayne Dyer
The Journey: Journaling
Self-Discovery/Analysis: “Thoughts are the ancestors of every action”
Defining self – answer questions in Who Am I? document – leave ample space to add future insights
Start a dream journal
Create a goals/list journal or section, likes and dislikes, needs and wants, goals and actions, progress and setbacks
Triggers journal – write them down, date them, reason, justification, positive action to change or avoid
“Wisdom is avoiding all thoughts that weaken you.”
Formulate a plan to an empowered “you”
Tools:
Simplify- come up with a simple plan, follow it
Do it now – there has never been a better time to start than right now
Keep at it – create a routine, nothing happens immediately
Believe in yourself, you have formulated a good plan
The four agreements, by Don Miguel Ruiz: Be impeccable with your word – Do your best – Take nothing personally – Don’t make assumptions
Strive to consider all life/act beyond self
