If I could teach you a practice that can help you eat better, become consistent with desired routines, and feel more motivation all around, would you be interested?
Before I discovered this practice, I used to beat myself up all the time for the things I just couldn’t do (or stop doing). I wanted to eat healthier.
I wanted to exercise more. I wanted to make more headway growing my business. Something always seemed to be stopping me. I was making a very common mistake.
Most of us have a concept of self-acceptance that is contingency based. By this, I mean “I’ll accept myself when I ___ [lose weight, stop overspending, achieve consistent self-motivation, etc.]” We have this backward.
Self-acceptance is a required element for the success of those things.
Imagine those parts of you, the ones driving you toward unwanted habits, beliefs, and behaviors, are trying to help. They want to protect you, stop you from getting too big for your britches. They don’t want you to be vulnerable or get hurt. They actually have your (although misguided) best interest at heart. And, what have you done to repay those good intentions? Silenced them. Scolded them. Maybe even hated them.
From an energetic perspective, you’re using a lot of energy to hold this part down in the shadows.
Imagine that, not only can you save yourself that energy, but you can also gain the energy of the part you’re upset with. What could you accomplish with that combined energy? Are you interested in a practice that helps you get there?
This week I’ve posted a guided meditation on YouTube and Insight Timer to hold those unwanted parts of yourself in your powerful heartspace. Once I started using this practice, I was able to stop fighting these unwanted impulses and use that energy to love and accept all the parts of myself. I felt better! The harsh self-talk eased up and eventually melted away (mostly). I felt more positive and energetic. Then, it became easier to make those changes I’d previously found so difficult.
