DOING THE WORK


CLEARING NEGATIVE SELF BELIEFS 
  

 

This week we will identify and clear negative self-beliefs. A negative self belief is a thought form held in consciousness that gives rise to or supports negative feeling about who you are, what you do or what you are capable of being, doing or having.

. I believe I am fat.  I believe I am ugly. I believe I am impatient.
   
            
     
  
CALLING IN
THE GOOD
   

 

Using a sheet of lined paper, write 9 or more negative beliefs you hold about yourself beginning with the words:
"I believe . . ."

When you are complete with writing these statements, go back, cross each statement out and write the following words; "I forgive myself" over the crossed out statement.


 

  

Authenticity relates to the ability to stand for, embrace and pursue that which is meaningful, valuable and an accurate representation of who or what an individual believes him- or herself to be.  

 

It is impossible for one to achieve or attain something they do not believe in or deem valuable, worthy or important.

 

Authenticity relates to an individual's willingness and ability to be a stand (walk the talk) and take a stand (ask for what is desired) for who he or she believes him- or herself to be at the moment while remaining open to healing, growth and transformation.


Essential Characteristics:

 

 1. Presence and mental/emo- tional state of being

THANK GOD FOR FAITH

Dear Father, Mother God:

Thank you for the gift of Faith.


When I am alone and frightened, Faith is there.

 

When it appears that my resources and reserves are diminished, Faith is there.  

 

When my friends shut their eyes and turn their backs, Faith is there.

 

When I make decisions and choices that are not in my best interest, Faith is there.

 

When my human world is in turmoil, Faith is there.

 

When my human mind can no longer see the goodness you have in store for me, Faith is there.  

 

I am so grateful for the gift of faith.

 

I cannot buy it. I cannot borrow it. I need only to acknowledge you in all my ways and Faith is there; With its Mother Grace and it's Father mercy always at my side.

 

I am Faith-filled, I am Faithful. I know Your angels are faithfully watching over me and paving my way.

 

Thank You Father, Mother God.

Today, I am connected firmly and passionately to my true self!

 

I realize my potential, and I honor it by allowing myself to be uniquely me!

  

 I consciously release all false

versions of who I thought I was

and consciously replace them with

a connection to my authentic self.

 

 The most sincere place of impact in my life happens when I am honest my self! Today, I choose honesty.

 

I create loving relationships from a

place of knowing who I really am.

 

In this moment, I focus my attention

on using my time and talents to

create a world that supports

a greater unfoldment of Life.

 

Today, I align my inner higher Self

with my day to day activities,

blessing everything that requires

me to change and grow.

 

Today, I stand grounded in the

 power of my most authentic self.

  

The Application of Authenticity 
    

In order to be authentic, you must be willing to acknowledge and accept the natural outgrowths of everything you think, do, and say in this life.  . . . Anything that shows up is either a reflection of God, or a reflection of you.

 

Authenticity also requires that you stay in touch with your feelings.  You cannot deny what you feel, and you cannot hold it back.  Be authentic!  Learn how to describe and communicate what you are feeling when you feel it, first to yourself.  You can communicate with others as necessary.

 

Another important aspect of being authentic is the willingness to always tell the truth.  Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks call it "the microscopic truth."  This means telling the truth about every little thing.   . . . When you hurt, don't say it's okay.  Own your pain.  Own your fear.  Own everything you create, internally and externally.  Acknowledge every emotion for exactly what it is, a part of you.

 

Authenticity also demands no comparison.  You cannot compare yourself or what you do to anyone else.  You are you!  You represent a true and original part of the Master.  There is no one else like you.

 

Finally and most important of all, authenticity means that you must do what you do the way you do it and allow everyone else the same courtesy.

Mind Over Medicine: How to Help Your Body Heal Itself

 

  

Your body is a self-healing organism. By bypassing its natural self-repair process and handing all your power over to a doctor, you might be ignoring the very thing you need to heal. This is not a revolutionary idea. As doctors, we learn that the body can heal itself. Our physiology texts teach us that it is brilliantly equipped with natural self-repair mechanisms that kill the cancer cells we produce every day, fight infectious agents, repair broken proteins, keep our coronary arteries open and naturally fight the aging process.
