Listen to your thoughts

This morning was interesting as I experienced something similar to something in the past. The words that were spoken and the reason they were said flooded those old memories and feelings, but with the new tools and techniques I have been applying recently I was able to not follow the same pattern I had in the past, before I would take it all in and be offended and be so worried about how I was being perceived, I would worry about all of it being true and not feel like there was hope for change, I would beat myself up fully feeling convinced that I’m a loser and I’m a horrible person. So as I let the words speak to me and as I felt emotions wanting to well up I took a moment to be in my head and understand what was really going on, I chose in that moment what I wanted to actually feel. I smiled and thought to myself “they can feel how they want to feel and say what they want to say and that’s ok” I continued to ponder and started doing some of the EFT tapping on the fight or flight meridians, while tapping I would say the statement “it’s ok if...” with whatever it was that I was feeling I wrote down negative thoughts on one side and positive thoughts which were opposite on the other side and would go back and forth from negative to positive, as I did this exercise I noticed a change, I noticed that I was empowering myself to feel and think what I wanted to in that moment, I recognized that when I said the “it’s ok if ....” statement on the negative side I was accepting those Emotions and thoughts as existing or being real, but not necessarily being true. On the other hand, I recognized the positive statements feeling real and feeling possible, as if I felt deep down that I was worthy of the good in me and that it can be my truth. I am just so grateful that I have the freedom to choose for myself what I want to think and feel, it doesn’t matter what other people say unless I make it matter, I always want to improve myself, but I tend to be extreme sometimes when someone points out my flaws i Internalize it and always attach it to my worth. As I have chosen to take the time to listen and understand my thoughts I am in tune to the truth of me more easily. When I am in tune to the truth inside me I end up showing up differently and more effectively. Because I can’t do it alone successfully I am so grateful I have help, Christ is that higher power in me who I turn to for help, for guidance and even for reassurance of my worth. I’m literally nothing without him. He is my saving grace, my friend and my hope. Try some of these exercises and see how they work for you and please let me know, when we share the good in us we bless so many others. #fromhairtosoul #lifebyemily #becauseofhim #personaltransformation #energyhealing #EFT #lifecoaching #youareworthy #itsokif...
