Do you ever want to toss up whatever is going on around and within you to the stars, Gods, angels, guides, person on the side of the road as you realize life is a little bit too much right now and you don't want to carry it at this moment?  I trust if you are human, you have felt this. I hope if you are human, you have done this. I also hope you have felt the relief that can come from surrendering. Realizing the truth that we really have no control over anything except how we carry ourselves, can be so freeing.

The final stage of Belief Re-patterning is called Surrender. Now, the first visual of that may be a suspect who puts their hands up and stops fighting with an official, but how I see it is an "oh, thank goodness, someone else is going to take my worries and carry them away" action. According to Suze Casey, the developer of Belief Re-patterning "the Surrender stage is about accepting a new truth for yourself. It's the declaration: This is the way I create my world! This is who I really am."  I love the way she says it so succinctly because this is what I feel I help people with the most; learning and being who they really are.

Surrendering in this way is not about giving away your power but rather about giving away those beliefs and patterns that are no longer serving you. For me recently, it was about releasing a thought pattern that if I wasn't producing, I wasn't being valuable. I have said so many times to people there is divine timing. I truly believe that too but wasn't applying it to myself in order to allow space to be. Space to surrender to what my newly wired brain wants for me. Peace, accomplishment sure, along with peace. ahhhhhhhhhhh

So, after we travel through the other steps of the process, and a bit of breathing, we arrive in the place of surrender where we cease resisting our true selves. Much like in yoga, if you resist in a pose, you will never be able to deepen it. You've got to be willing to trust in the new muscles and flexibility you have developed to reach a bit further, to deepen the love of self and to relax. One of the best poses in yoga to me is savastana, or corpse pose. One because it signals the end of the practice for that moment and two because it took me a long time to be able to surrender, let go and melt into the floor and allow it to support me. Tense at the end of yoga. Yup, if I can shift that way of being, anyone can!

The act of surrendering opens us up to our true worth. Wouldn't that be so lovely to feel on a consistent, natural basis?  I want that for you. I hope you want that for you too. My dream is to help people realize how much they matter and that they have a value in being themselves. I had to learn that within myself, and it's still growing thankfully, to help others. I hope this walk through the steps of Belief Re-patterning process has intrigued you, got you thinking and perhaps entered an idea that you too would love to live in a peaceful, fun, belief in self, confident, contributory self. You can do it, you know.

Combining all the steps of the technique allows for a supportive subconscious. One that operates from a place of coaching you along, recognizing where a shift in gears could happen, shifts and then supports the new space. We are always growing in this eternal process we agreed to. Wouldn't it be nice to have a system like Belief Re-patterning that grows with you?  You can and now that you know a bit more about it, perhaps you will give it to self. 

I believe in you,

Vicki

You can't prove your worth through struggle. It doesn't work that way. Well, you can try but it would take a lot more effort to struggle than it would to find the less resistant energy and take that route.

The more you struggle with something, the more work that you're creating. Kind of like being in quicksand, if you get peaceful and calm you'll actually float to the top. Not that I've been in quicksand, but this is what it feels like to me when someone is fighting, fighting, fighting change rather than seeing change as inevitable and going with the flow of that.

Have you ever been involved in a project or relationship where the more you pointed out what wasn't going well, the more problems showed up? Then when you couldn't take it anymore, you threw your hands up and said, "I give up." and they started to change for the better? It is pure energy. What you resists persists. What you fight gets bigger. (Could we get the message to this on any anti campaign please? What you are fighting against will always get stronger. Find the flip side and promote that!)

Self worth follows this same pattern, well, technically everything does because it is all energy, but in this case we are talking about how you feel about yourself. The reason it's called self worth is it is supposed to come from self. So often though, I see people taking on what others have said they are worth and carrying it like they have to struggle to prove them wrong. Ummmm, nope, you could just recognize that what others think of you is none of your business (struggle) and assume the position of what I feel matters most. (worth)

You could continue to try to prove you aren't what others say you are or you could put that energy into being the best you, YOU want to be. Feel that out and see which one feels like it has struggle energy in it. When you are able to recognize the struggle energy, you can begin to shift immediately. Don't judge that you are in it, simply acknowledge and float to the top! 

Becoming aware of when you are in your own way and in some cases your own worst enemy, is so vital to shifting belief systems and achieving the life that you would like to have. 

You are worth loving simply because you are you. You don't have to earn that from anyone nor do you have to prove it to anyone. You deserve to be a happy, healthy, joyful, abundant, intelligent, attractive, funny, gifted, quiet, extroverted, artistic, talented, mismatched sock, pajama wearing, hair messy, totally eating out of the package and loving self! (add any others you want in there that I missed!)

If you don't start seeing your self worth, who is going to? SELF WORTH! Give it to self people. Be willing to say, yes, I am great, thank you very much. Most of you won't get such a fat head you won't be able to fit through the door. You will be fine and you know what? You will become the example for others who aren't quite there yet and could use help in finding their own self worth. It's a lot of fun, trust me! 

The choice is always yours, you can continue to struggle and pretend you aren't wonderful, but why would you? Be radiant, be amazing and for goodness sake, be you and add to the variety of the human species! 

Floating to the top like I'm in the pool of life, 

Vicki
