(If you have yet to complete Day 1, read: 7 days to a new goal - Day 1 before proceeding)
DAY 2: MAKING NEW EMPOWERED CHOICES
On Day 1, you have discovered 15 to 20 beliefs about yourself.
You must have discovered what you previously didn’t consciously know about yourself, and now these have been brought up to your conscious awareness. Great!
Put what you have discovered aside for the moment, we will come back to them in a while.
Now, let’s look at the learning points for Day 2:
Learning points:
You can CHOOSE who you want to be
You have learnt on Day 1 that since your past memories and experiences have programmed your beliefs about yourself today, you could simply reprogramme your mind computer to bring birth to a new you. That’s right.
Before you can change, you need to know what to change
Before we can change what is not good or not empowering to our lives, we need to know what to change. Here, we are talking about what you may or may not consciously know about yourself, specifically your negative and limiting self-beliefs. E.g. “I am a loser”, I am unwanted”.
With the exercise you have done on Day 1, you must have discovered some of your negative and limiting beliefs about yourself.
Now it’s time to change them, again, by CHOICE.
If you want to free yourself of your negative and limiting self-beliefs, and only if you CHOOSE to do so, and only if you are consciously and unconsciously willing to take the step today to make the change, proceed to Day 2 Exercise.
Day 2 Exercise
Refer to Day 1 Exercise. Looking at the 15 – 20 beliefs that you have listed about yourself, put an “X” beside each negative and/or limiting belief.
A negative and/or limiting belief is one that you do not like about yourself (e.g.“I am Ugly”), says something bad about your capability (e.g. “I am lousy in communication”), or limits your potential and achievements (e.g, “I am destined to be poor”).
List all your negative and limiting self-beliefs below:
“I am _____________________.”
“I am _____________________.”
“I am _____________________.”
“I am _____________________.”
“I am _____________________.”
“I am _____________________.”
“I am _____________________.”
“I am _____________________.”
“I am _____________________.”
“I am _____________________.”
Cross out each negative and limiting self-belief and beside it, write the opposite positive and empowering belief (what you CHOOSE to believe about yourself).
For example: “I am lousy in communication.” a good communicator
Write down your new positive and empowering beliefs on a piece of paper and paste this piece of paper at a place that you will see every day.
WHO AM I?
“I am _____________________.”
“I am _____________________.”
“I am _____________________.”
“I am _____________________.”
“I am _____________________.”
“I am _____________________.”
“I am _____________________.”
“I am _____________________.”
“I am _____________________.”
“I am _____________________.”
