We can do one of two things with our family of origin. we can repeat what they do or we can do the opposite. Make that conscious decision to not be like them… they were negative and unhappy and that is exactly what you want to get away from. I don’t know you Nadia, but the fact that you don’t want to perpetuate that way of life and the fact that you want to not only feel good about yourself, but help others do the same suggests to me that you are an incredibly kind, smart and beautiful person. Challenge those inner voices – stop when you hear it and ask yourself – is what this voice is saying to me truth? In your heart you know it is not truth.

It is hard to build self worth and self esteem – it will not be an easy road ( I speak from experience). But you want to – and you will make it happen.xxx

How do you, self-esteem and self-worth is an inside job. Mom and dad are from then, who’s talking to you now? What’s that voice saying? Is the message true, really true? As you’re looking at it do you find that it’s just someone else’s opinion? And what is their opinion worth at this point in time? Remember you are right here, right now. The voices from the past just that. That past created in you a script that you continue to act out. You are absolutely free to start writing a new script and putting new voices in your head. What kind of messages would you prefer to hear? Are you willing to do what it takes to start becoming the best and highest self you can be? Perhaps it is time to do the work required to get completed with your past. When the voices start speaking there are two big questions you can ask yourself. The first question is “where am I?”The answer is right here, not in the past where the remembrances are. The second question is “what time is it?” The answer is you are right here right now. This is the moment in which you have the opportunity to create what it is you most want.

In many ways it is like life dropped a brick wall on top of you. You have the choice of staying under that wall, or using the bricks to build your own wall The way you want it to be. Yes it can be done. As a spark of the all that is, you have the capacity within you to create what you desire. Start with using the journal to tell your story.
