How to Look and Feel Your Best - Day 391
- I forgive myself that I have accepted
and allowed myself to fear the experience of not being confident when being
with or around other people – and within this I forgive myself that I have
accepted and allowed myself to think and believe that the only way for me to reassure
that I prevent and evade the experiences of being uncomfortable and unconfident
is through becoming as aligned and affiliated with the ideal that I have formed
within the mind as I possibly can, so that I can present this ideal self-image
of myself to the world – and within this I forgive myself that I have not
accepted and allowed myself to see, realize and understand that experiences of
being uncomfortable and unconfident comes from within, as a result of my
internal participation within self-judgments stemming from the basic idea I
have formed of myself – and that solving these internal experiences of being
uncomfortable and unconfident in certain situations will not and cannot be done
through allowing and giving my consent/approval to self-judgments, and the
experiences it result in, to decide who I am or my self-worth – because within
that I am merely feeding and generating the program that I have formed within
me – where I see and realize that changing ‘who I am’ externally as an attempt
to become more aligned with the ideal self-image that I have formed within the
mind, will and can merely suppress the symptoms as the internal experiences of inadequacy
for so long, since I am not actually in any way changing, like really changing
who I am within in the sense of establishing actual self-confidence – but am
only creating a shielding layer as a measure of protection which I can hide
behind to feel better about myself for just a while – until I find yet another thing
about me that is not aligned with the ideal self-image. And so I see, realize
and understand that to really establish actual self-confidence I require to
stop this program, to stop this from the within to the without – where the only
solution lays within me, within me as my self-awareness.
- And so I commit myself to see,
realize and understand that I have the capacity, the ability and the
responsibility to decide what I am going to accept and allow within me and so
without – where I realize that emerging as that self-awareness is a decision
that has to be made in practical reality, and so I commit myself to assist and
support myself within situations where I see that judgments emerges within me
and so I immediately stop my participation, I breathe and I bring myself back
to here – where I stand as that awareness, leading my own life and thus
standing as that decision to no more accept and allow myself to attempt and try
to suppress the symptoms of the basic idea I have formed of myself in the
context of being inadequate through attempting and trying to mold and align
myself to become more like the ideal self-image that I believe to exist – but instead
I face the basic idea that I have formed of myself and so stop accepting and
allowing self-beliefs to tell me who I am – and so start directing myself
within the situations where I see that the experiences of being uncomfortable
or unconfident emerges – where I, within my awareness, realize that this is
merely an experience, it does not mean that I have to go into, give value to or
trust it – and so therefor I commit myself to practice this point of
practically asserting myself within these situations where I direct myself not
to take the judgments or experience of being unconfident personally – but instead
within me decide to give myself the opportunity to find out what would happen
and how it would be when I do not go into it or trust it to be me but instead
just state ‘No, till here no further’.
Very Cool Malin!
