Those old stories aren’t the boss of you anymore.
Today we’re getting brave. We’re going to peek into the dark corners of the past and see what’s still hanging around, quietly shaping the way you see the world.
Think about the habits you have now. Are there things you hold back from because of old stories you were told? Maybe you’re scared to spend money, or maybe you find it hard to invest in yourself. The question is, why?
Were you raised in a home where money was scarce, so you learned to grip it tight? Were you told (directly or indirectly) that you weren’t worth spending on? Those experiences can stick like glue, long after the moment has passed.
Once we drag those shadows into the light, and examine them, then they start to lose their power. You get to see them for what they are – lies, assumptions, outdated rules you don’t need to live by anymore.
When you see those lies for what they are, you can start to rewrite your life’s script. You are worthy of investing in yourself. You are allowed to buy the holiday, take the art class, grab the opportunity, or sign up for something that’s just for you, just for joy.
Look at those old beliefs. Hold them up to the light. Question them. They will wriggle around, and try to crawl back into their dark corners, but be firm! Do NOT let them go until they’re completely dissolved in the light. They cannot hurt you any more, because they don’t define who you are now, you do.
What’s one “shadow” belief you’ve been carrying that you’re ready to let go of?
