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.

EX. 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.

 

Freedom is a state of being in which all experiences are viewed as opportunities for healing, personal growth, and natural development in alignment with universal law and Divine will.

 

Freedom is demonstrated as a state of internal well-ness, and external congruency. The intent is to support the individual in realizing a state of physical, mental, and emotional freedom, which supports positive action toward a desired intention.

 

When an individual becomes able to regard the self as both one with God and as an individual personality/ expression of God, the experience is one of freedom.

 

Attachment and bondage to the perceived limitations of the physical human expression are the result of mental and emotional misinter-pretations.  Freedom, therefore, is the knowing and embracing of truth to such a degree that you are able to cooperate with the flow of God within your being.

 

Freedom is a function of con- sciousness.

 

When the conscious mind releases all attachment to form and outcome, the experience is called freedom. Those who know their oneness with God have no fears. Freedom, therefore, is the absence of fear.

NO MORE DENYING YOU   
 

Gracious God, Source of All Good, Source of My Good Source of Every Thing.

 

I praise You this morning and rest in gratitude. I rest in gratitude for this new day, for this new year, for this new me.

 

Thank You, God, that I am aware of how wonderfully made I Am.

 

Thank You, God, that I have surrendered doubt about the gifts that You have deposited in me.

 

Thank You, God, that I know that I know that I know that You have given me an anointing.

 

Thank You, God, that I know that I know that I know that You have work for me to do.

 

Thank You, God, that I know that in me, as me, through me minds are transformed.

 

Thank You, God, that I know that in me, as me, through me hearts are comforted.

 

And, I know God, that this has nothing to do with me.

 

I know, God, that I am just a vessel and a vehicle for Your unconditional love. I know, God, that I am just a vessel and a vehicle for Your Divine Grace.

 

In this now moment, I forgive myself for those times when I withheld my gifts - the gifts that You gave me.

 

In this now moment, I forgive myself for those times when I judged my abilities. In this now moment, I forgive myself for those times when I feared that what I brought to the table wasn't good enough.

 

I forgive myself for those many times when I felt, not just unworthy to do Your will and Your work; but felt down right worthless.

 

I acknowledge, now Dear God, that in doing that I was not only denying the gift, I was denying the Giver.

 

No more, no more, no more.

 

In this moment, God, I declare that I am standing in the fullness of all that You have brought me here to be - not here to do - here to BE.

 

In this moment, God, I declare that I am enough. In this moment, God, I declare that I have something to share.

 

In this moment, God, I declare that I am on a mission, that I have a vision and that I have a mighty work to do - Your Work

No More Denying You.

 

And, by extension, No More Denying Myself.

 

Thank You, God, for this shift in my consciousness.

 

Thank You, God, for this opening to You.

 

Thank You, God, for YOU.

 

And So It Is!

Amen.

 

Rev. Beverly Saunders Biddle

 

 

       

Right here and right now,  I release

the self-imposed chains that hold

me down and walk consciously

into the light of freedom.

 

 Today I am liberated from the

tyranny of my negative

thoughts. I am now free of

all doubt, worry, and anxiety.

  

In this moment I am newly born

into the spirit of freedom.

 

Today I declare my independence

and celebrate the good in my life.

 

Right now I release the fear that

holds me hostage and

proclaim my independence.

 

Right here and right now I remove  

all barriers to love, joy, peace,  

harmony and vibrant health.

 

In this now moment I turn to

the Divine within me and  

recognize that freedom is  

my natural state of being.

 
                


Do we choose for ourselves that which we truly desire?Under most of the normal conditions and pressures of life, we do not.  We allow labels and expectations to keep us in boxes, then we cry out for freedom.  The entire purpose of life on earth is for us to be free, exercise free will, and choose the parameters of our freedom.

.   .   .

 

Freedom is a state of mind.  It is the outgrowth of our willingness to make conscious choices of our own free will and to live through the consequences of our choices without blame, shame, or guilt.  Freedom is a sign of self-awareness.  When you are aware of what it takes to maintain your mental, emotional, and physical well-being and you make conscious choices toward that goal, you are exercising your freedom.Freedom is the recognition of the truth.

.   .   .

 

You are powerful.You are unlimited.  You are the reflection of creative genius.  When you realize this truth and accept it as a fact of your reality, you know that you are free to choose whatever you believe to be the truest reflection of your identity.  Freedom requires consistent and repeated acts of courage.

.   .   .

 

What you believe, how you feel, what you do, how you respond to any given circumstance at any given time is the only impediment to freedom.  You are always free to choose how you will respond.

.   .   .

 

Are you courageous enough to live the truth of your desires without fear?  This is what will determine your freedom.  . . .  More important, once you are clear about the experience you want to have, you are free to make the choices that will result in your having that experience.

.   .   .

 

When I realized that God, the divine source of life, not people, was the source and substance of all good things, I was freed from every "ism" that held me captive.
