How to Define OurselvesThis is a series of exercises that touch basis on January 2012 Post so if you are new to this site please go back in read the January 2012 post before completing any of these exercises.
Last month we touch basis on who you are, what you want, our choices to create our worlds begin with our thoughts and how to love and approve of ourselves. Well this month I would like to discuss the meaning of Who Am I and how to obtain the right self esteem a little bit deeper in order to move forward in being our true selves. You will need a journal or notebook to complete the exercises for this months post.
Life finds its course when you allow your spirit to guide you. If we are willing to let go in go with the flow of life our spirit will guide us away from problems, bad relationships, doubts, and insecurities, and toward more loving and positive experiences.
That does not mean we will not experience evil of adversity of life. Sorry my friend there is certain adversity we all must experience designed for our individual life path in order for our soul to perfect.
What I am saying is when life has given you more than you can handle, it is because you have not released control. When you do not understand what will fulfill you, you have not let go. When life seems overwhelming and like too much to bear, you have not let go. Instead, you have let the chaos of the world surround you and define who you are rather than you going with the flow in walking the path of who you were meant to be.
There is a point in your life when you will have to make a choice to be a conscious participant in your life. This means that you allow yourself to live in love. You move away from all fear and slowly embrace love until it covers your entire life.
Sometimes a person might put you down in order to elevate his self worth and sometimes a person might attack you in order to appear superior in front of others. This is all part of life don’t let this type of behavior upset you. Instead move away from all fear and slowly embrace love until it covers your entire life.
Adversity in life does not define who we are. Love is what we are here for. Love is what we are meant to experience. Choose to take control of your life. In taking control, you are letting go of the approval of others. In taking control of your life, you define how you behave, think, who comes into your life and who must go. You decide how life is going to fulfill you. It’s all a choice. Either live in love or live under other people approval. What do you really want?
In your journal, I want you to answer a couple of questions. In our society most people define themselves by the type of career they have. When someone meet you the first thing they ask is, “What do you do?” Like this is the only statement in the world.
I would like to clear this misconception up right now, your career or how much money you have does not define you. Instead, we should ask others, “How are you doing today? Or, how do you feel? This type of statement relates to our spiritual point of view and how our inner self feels.
The Earth realm operates in a “doing” mentality, the spiritual realm operates in a “being” mentality, so we become condition to identify ourselves by things that we do rather than who we are or how we feel.
So, I’m asking you today, “How do you define your self?”
1. Describe yourself. Include the reasons that you are the person you say you are.
2. What do you love about yourself?
3. What brings you joy?
4. When you go to sleep at night, what do you wish for?
5. How do you feel about your overall appearance?
Every morning most of us take something for grated as we inhale and exhale, we never appreciate the strength of our lungs, the legs that carry us and the body that holds and protect our spirits.
We never appreciate the capability of our body to carry us forward, to help us become aware, think and feel. Instead, we assume that these will be handled naturally. In order to appreciate something, you must start by appreciating your self.
You must release yourself from being anxious and worrying about other people opinions of you. You must stop, embrace and love who you are. Learn to love and accept yourself today my friend. Learn to define who you truly are and accept it in your own divine right.

Things to think about...
Life will always have challenges just remember this too shall pass. Your ultimate goals and objectives you have set out for your life resolves around your fears, anxiety or low self-confidence. Do you have a sense for which one of these may be causing the hiccups you mention?
If so you have the first step to getting out of your rut.
Many of my clients respond to their problem with this statement, “Every time I say to myself I need to make a change, it always backfires and I end up going one step forward, 500 steps back.”
Do you feel this way, if so you are not alone!
The truth is when you get the feelings that your goals are impossible to reach, do you believe it has to do with the goals you have selected or with uncertainties/fears/negative challenges that impact your belief that you will get there?
When this happens you need to try harder to put yourself in situations that will create opportunity of change. Not only will doing something for change and the enjoyment of it will help get you out of your mental rut; it will give you a new opportunity to form relationships and friends… breaking down your fear boosting self confidence are all supported by the willingness to change.
I look forward from hearing from you!!!
Love and Blessing
