Hello gorgeous goddesses, welcome to our blog! We are so happy you’re here to learn all things self + biz development-oriented, from manifestations to biz tips and even to NLP!
I thought we’d kick off with a very important theme that many of us overlook: the art of self-forgiveness.
I was featured in an article covered by The Zoe Report about the long-lasting impact of practicing self-forgiveness. I came to the realization that many amazing women out there may not have the resources and/or guidance on how to effectively embark on the self-forgiveness journey. That’s why I’m here with you all today to take that deep dive!
Expressing gratitude is the first and foremost step in practicing self-forgiveness, particularly for your past self. I’m sure many of you have looked back at past experiences with a nasty, self-demeaning approach saying “I should’ve done this!” or “I should’ve known that!”.
But guess what love? The old you that overcame all those experiences is who brought you to the present! You used that bird’s eye perspective as a way to see what other choice you had, but you didn’t even know those were options at that time!
As a human being, you do the very best you can with the resources you have available to you at that time. Read that again.
To illuminate the path towards your highest self, you must create space to welcome growth into your reality. That souled-out, soul-aligned, go-getting goddess you are is waiting for you to indulge in your untapped power.
In The Sparkle System Certification Experience, we incorporate lots of inner mindset work for our students to complete so they look, feel, and do what is best for them! If they don’t prioritize their own wellbeing and values, then they aren’t able to fully achieve the goals they set out for themselves! Mind is over the matter here girlies!
Therefore, we guide them to identify those subconscious aggressions on a conscious level to best understand where they come from, how they change the state of being, then recalibrate what they DO want to think so the vibrations align with their desires!
So, how can you start to practice self-forgiveness & ascend beyond your imagination? I’m glad you asked!
You must translate your current reality’s thoughts into more impactful ones by creating awareness. This can be done through something called thought catching!
Whenever a stinkin-thinkin thought process starts to enter your mind, write out those thoughts on paper or in a journal! In order to fully attack those thoughts, it’s important to externalize them so we confront their effect on our reality.
After creating a list of those limiting thoughts, I want you to negate those thoughts by crossing them out and note WHY those things are untrue to your reality.
The second phase in this process is to instead write down how you want to feel instead of those nasty negative feelings. For example, instead of telling yourself “nobody likes me” write out “I want to feel like I am magnetic”. Doesn’t that already feel better to you?
If you articulate what feeling will uplift your vibrations, you will integrate those internal feelings and pictures into your conscious mind! And the best part is they’re TRUE statements!
This exercise is an amazing way to shift into being “at cause” for your life. If you are familiar with manifestation, you know it occurs when your internal frequency matches your desires for your outside world! Our external environment always reflects our internal representation of it, so how we speak to ourselves will influence that relationship!
I want you to take some time right now to grab your notebook and write three things you want to shift in your life right now! Write how you feel, cross it out, then write one thought you desire to welcome in instead.
Watch your life transform in front of you once you commit to being conscious of your self-talk and practice self-forgiveness in all aspects of life.
