Intuition Report for YOU
Date: Friday, July 25th, 2008
Dearest *Insert your name here*:
You have a problem. Maybe it’s not a problem, maybe it’s more like a recurring issue. A little thorn in your side that bites you from time to time.
Whatever it is. It is there. And it has been there for awhile.
Deep within you, you have a belief about this problem/issue/thorn. Even when you flail about pretending you have no earthly clue what’s going on, what you should do or which way you should turn…you know subconsciously that you have a belief. The problem is deciding whether or not you’re going to trust it.
And by the way I do not mean the belief that your feet are too big, or your face too round or your capacity to learn or be is limited by a shortchanged brain or the belief that you’re so odd or whatever that no one could possibly ever be enthralled with the amazingness of you. Those aren’t beliefs, at least they shouldn’t be. Those are tiny minefields you plant for yourself to distract you from your truest beliefs. Step out of the minefield for a minute, wave a magic wand to disarm them all, and start again without the eeyore complex.
Don’t be so hard on yourself. Embracing or accepting what you believe in a society that constantly wants to impress you with how much more insight it has than you can be an extremely difficult task. But take into consideration the fact that you are the ONLY subject matter expert on you.
Your task today is to avoid wandering around from advisor to advisor looking for them to bless or blast your belief. Avoid putting yourself in the position of having your beliefs given to you by someone else. Shut down the mental mindfield. Instead…ask yourself this question…
Why am I so unwilling to believe in this belief? Is it because I am afraid of being incorrect? Am I afraid I will be rejected by those I love and who love me? Do I trust others more than I trust myself? And if so, when exactly did that happen?
Finally, if I chose to move in opposition to this belief – will I find more peace…or less? And then…
Believe it, or not.
