In the dating world, it is said to give a person at least 3 months to show their true colors because anyone can be on their best behavior for 90 days. After that, their true self will have several opportunities to show up.
This is also true for new employees. One can be fantastic in an interview and for the first couple of months of employment, it takes time for the old habits to show themselves.
My old habits showed up this week. And, it took me a moment to even notice them, just as the crack in the wall, do I even notice it any more? When I am in the moment with intention, these things become very clear.
Going on a mental diet was not easy. I consider myself to be a positive person, and when I found myself ruminating in old limiting beliefs, they were like an old friend, that old sweatshirt or pair of jeans that are torn and stained, yet so very comfortable. I didn’t even realize at first that I was wearing such old, ill-fitting clothes.
For instance, I have had a deep belief that nobody likes me. I am a nuisance to people. This is a thought that comes into mind so often, I didn’t even realize it was there. I caught it though this week!
And, because I greet each day with love, the choice I made was to greet it with love. I would stop my thought and pivot towards love. The vision board we created was very helpful with this.
Having my DMP printed out was also helpful, and I find it more helpful than the movie script. My mind is slowly shifting, and I am feeling more confidence each day as I greet my new life with love, and send others deep love, I know what is coming to me is a life filled with much love and abundance.
I am a powerhouse of vitality, beauty and abundance. That is my true self and I promise to show it to myself first and then to the whole world.
I always keep my promises
Ramona, you’re doing the work….”the hard mental labor”, and it shows. Being the nonjudgmental observer is such a gift to yourself!
This is powerful! You are noticing the connection to things and learning how to deflect the negativity that comes at you! I too struggled with the 7 day mental diet seems I start over frequently and I’ve stopped believing the lie that I’m a positive person!! Opinions, opinions and more opinions and boom I’m negative! but as these opportunities come to me I catch them before they can do anything! Keep pushing you’re doing it I believe in you!
Honoring your journey…AND holding the magnificent space of your own beautiful words: “I am a powerhouse of vitality, beauty and abundance. That is my true self and I promise to show it to myself first and then to the whole world.”
