Are you emotionally attached to your negative stories?
Perhaps the real reason you can’t get over that addiction or ailment or situation…
…is that there is something inside of it that you have taken on as your identity? That you are holding onto?
For Example:
I have struggled with sleeping. I have not had consistently sleep well since I entered motherhood.
With babies and late nights, I was often tired, but I was still a morning person and I really treasured those quiet peaceful mornings.
Then my thyroid started acting up. My doctors would ask how I was sleeping and I would say…
“Yes. I’m tired. But is that thyroid or motherhood?”
Then when I was finishing my degree 2:00 am became a great time to get schoolwork done.
But that really messed up my schedule and I still frequently wake up at 2 and can’t get back to sleep for 2-3 hours.
I was blaming this outward signs and excuses.
………………
It wasn’t until this last summer that I finally thought about what being “tired” meant for me.
I realized that somehow I had equated “tired mom” with “good mom”
Now that I see it, it is obviously ridiculous, but without realizing it, I had assumed that being tired, meant I was serving and sacrificing for my family and that meant that I was doing my job well.
So for YEARS, I have been frustrated with my sleep…
Yet emotionally, I was attached to being tired and was subconsciously unwilling to let it go.
I was subconsciously not allowing myself to get a good night’s rest in spite of doctors’ recommendations or anything tried technique.
Now that I have recognized it, I am rewriting that part of my story. And I am experiencing solid sleep for the first time in ages.
Could it be that some unnoticed belief or program is stopping you from achieving your goal?
