We want to align with Source Energy, tuned to Divine Wisdom. When we are so aligned, we are feeling as good as we can in this moment. Great expression of kindness to ourselves, too.
Don’t we love to hear that we are GOOD? In fact, we are wonderful beyond measure!
The vast majority of us have picked up self-put -down, limiting beliefs, mental habits, in the course of living in this culture. How do we make adjustments to habits that operate and of which we are often unaware?
Bruce Lipton, PhD, tells us that 95% of our time we operate from subconscious programming. In this moment as you are reading you have access to the 5%, you have the chance to change. IN THIS MOMENT.
Matilda’s Shift
Matilda attended a lecture and felt very irritated by the speaker. Her reaction was visceral. The way she was hearing his words—well she got triggered to feel terrible about herself. Aroused were old stuff of “not good enough,” not successful and wanting to withdraw from life.
Though in recent years this star had regularly reached for thoughts that feel better, in this moment she felt overwhelmed with discouragement and upset. After part of a day the heroine blurted to herself,
“Wait! I am not shifting. I am allowing my mind to run with complaining. Momentum of what I don’t want is operating.”
In the past Matilda might have said to herself “What a jerk! You want to be appreciating and you are listing complaints!”
Instead, the dear woman woke up to the fact that she had the power to feel better. What could she think about instead of this?
Could she appreciate? Yes, this heroine needed to shift to her favorite topics: birds singing, color, growing flowers, dear friends. She got away from thinking about the lecture!
She could relish that she had taken her power again. YAY. “I am noticing what I am doing. GOOD FOR ME NOTICING. I want to be more constructive and loving now!” “
Matilda can accept that changing a habit involves ongoing focus. Bruce Lipton emphasized how much repetition of the new habit is required. In his seminars, Dr Joe Dispenza teaches how the body joins more neurons in a new pathway with the repetitions– he features slides showing neurons forming chains to demonstrate!
Noticing, shifting, repeating. Humans take some time to change habits of thought.
Noticing in the present moment, kindness to self while we persist, practicing the new thought. We are exercising our personal power as we follow this simple guideline.
Observing ourselves, gently and with kindness reaching for improved feeling and more fun again and again. Praising ourselves on the journey.
