It might not feel like it now, but you already possess the power to transform your life, you just haven’t unlocked it yet.
You might currently be in a position of seeking healing, therapy, answers, or direction. You feel confused, experiencing regular low moods and lack clarity on your future. Combined, you feel lost and out of control of your own life. While the world is moving around you, you seem to be existing at a standstill.
This is not your truth.
You have simply tuned-out to who you are, and now it’s time to tune back in.
Your brain is remarkable at making repetitive behaviors automatic. This happens for a couple of reasons:
1- The more you do something, the easier it gets.
2- If the behavior leads to some sort of pleasure or reinforcement, you'll tend to do it again.
3- If you add something to your routine for long enough, it becomes a habit.
Self-forgiveness is a key part of healing and personal growth, without it, you are holding yourself back from your full potential and opportunities that are out there for you. The holding on to a past event or behaviour keeps you in this feeling of shame, of anger and of that you are perhaps underserving of all that you desire.
A result of being unable to forgive yourself is that you have more than likely subconsciously put up barriers to the world around you. These barriers may be hindering your ability to build relationships, friendships or reconciling past connections.
Going through a personal transformation is a beautiful, often cathartic process. It requires you to be totally honest with yourself and consciously aware of your actions.
We can spark into transformation from external sources, such as feedback, comments, or influence from societal ‘events’ such as New Years resolutions. We can also just feel a bit fed up with ourselves. If we keep promising that we will seek help for our anxiety, lose weight or work on our mindset, but we are consistent and committed, we tend to not even trust our own intention anymore. This result ends up with a nagging internal voice urging us to keep trying.
