Been peppering my day with this one at several points in the day and it’s just divine.
I’m able to negotiate with myself a lot easier. An intrusive thought will come in, you know the old “what if this what if that what if this” song and dance and I used to just kind of watch from the cheap seats but lately I find myself close enough to the stage that I go, “enough. I know it’s fine.” And it’s quieter, then.
It’s a highlighter, a very good one. One of my patterns that really gets in the way is I can in the name of self protection be cynical with people I interact with but I’ve decided that hurts more than it helps.
This one highlighted that in a few interactions I had. So following Sammy’s advice I’m hitting it in this order: this, malleable ego and the true self of others (divine spark). The affirmation: I’m balanced and judicious in how I see people. I notice the “good” equally with the “bad,” and I try my best to give the good the edge.
A follow up affirmation for next session could be, “I’m strong enough to handle whatever happens with as much grace as I can muster.”
Because If I really believe that, what’s there to really worry about?
Time to dismantle the vestiges of victim mentality, brick by brick.
