I am enough
I’m very grateful for all these amazing, and smart people that crossed my path during the quarantine. I spent hours and days watching documentaries, and interviews, and each amazing video led to another amazing video. My list of books to read was never this long.
It is incredible how, even though these people come from different backgrounds, there is one common theme. They may be using a businessman language, a therapist language, a spiritual guru language, a scientist language... But they are all talking about the same:
• The power of mind
• The power of belief
• The influence of environment
• Subconscious programming
Marisa Peer, after 30 years of therapy, came to a conclusion that there can be only 1 out of 3 reasons behind each problem. One of them is a subconscious belief, picked up somewhere, probably in early childhood, that we are not enough. Not pretty enough, not good enough, not smart enough etc. We accepted the belief with our young, naive minds, and when we grew up, we never went back to correct that belief with our adult mindset. So, this belief has been running freely for all these years and affecting various areas of our lives. And we are not even aware of it!
Luckily, there are techniques and therapies that aim to find and change the root negative beliefs. And if you are not interested in therapy, there are also things you can do in the meantime, like positive affirmations.
Affirmations, or statements of truth, are very effective because your mind believes in everything what you say. The words you're using are extremely powerful and they create your reality. How often do we say to ourselves: I always loose money, I never find love, others can do that, but not me, I only attract loosers etc. We say those negative things, and with time we become those negative things as our personal assistant Mind, makes sure that the reality matches our words. We make a belief, and then the belief makes us.
We can simply start saying positive and encouraging things. And as mind learns through habit, we can create a habit of repeating empowering words to ourselves. We can have them written on a mirror, or on the screens of our mobile phone so that we can see it many times a day.
Dr Bruce Lipton said in one of the interviews that he started saying to himself: I am happy. And one day he realised, that actually he doesn't have to say it anymore, because he is truly happy. Fake it till you make it as they say 😊
