I am reminded how I can continue with self-destructive behaviors with purposeful forgetting, justifications, and rationalizations.
I had learned at a young age to justify lying, cheating, stealing, and a few other behaviors.
At the time, as a child, I’m sure I did things in order to feel accepted, out of fear of lack, and because it was exciting to do what I was told never to do.
During this time, I created negative beliefs about myself. Such as I am no good, I am not worthy, I am bad, and the like.
I held on to some of those beliefs into my adult years, knowing I was causing harm to myself and others.
It was not until I had such a painful anxiety attack that I fell to my knees and cried out for help did I finally do something about my beliefs.
A thorough moral inventory of myself, no justifications, or rationalizations, just deep honesty about me and my deeply held beliefs.
After sharing my inventory, I slowly learned how to lose my old beliefs about myself and create new ones.
Today I choose to accept the fact that I am an amazing creation, rooted in Light and Love.
Because of that belief I get to see all other beings in the same way.
Today I choose to enter each experience with compassion, empathy, understanding, acceptance, appreciation, kindness, Love and peace.
May each of you allow yourself to create positive beliefs about yourself and others.
You are Love and Loved.
