You’re thoughts and feeling express a belief. Can you take a moment to recognize the belief? Is it about yourself-I’m undeserving, I’m always falling short? Or is it from someone else in your life-you’re weird? You can’t trust people? After you identify the belief can you ask yourself questions like is this really true? Can I be certain it’s true? Think about what it’s like to love with this belief? Can you see it’s impact on your life? Your relationships? Self-growth? Tap into your most wisest, loving self and ask what do I need most? What message or energy might bring healing to myself? Offer that to yourself and to the place of vulnerability you are experiencing. Notice the quality of presence and think about who you would become if this belief no longer lived with you. Rest in that awareness. (Adapted from Radical Compassion by Tara Brach).
