Step 2: Nurture your Self

Welcome!

Thank you for joining me on this 12-step journey towards increasing your Creative flow and reducing stress.

I’m Rita, and I am a Healer and a teacher. It’s my calling to help people evolve, elevate and expand their thinking. I help people to heal through natural modalities that fall outside of traditional medicine. That’s exactly what you will find here, so I hope you’ll stay!

Today I am sharing the second step in reducing stress and increasing Creative flow, to have a more Life-giving Energy and raise your quality of Life.

Keep away from the drama queens and skeptics; they will only drain your Energy

OK, so you’ve worked through some of your core negative beliefs and have reframed them into positive statements. As you continue to repeat those positive reframes (which will eventually become new beliefs), you will begin to notice changes within yourself.

This is what it feels like when your Energy centers begin to open up. You will start attracting positivity and good vibes into your Life. Notice when things happen, and don’t forget to celebrate every small success.

Stop putting others before yourself

In nurturing your Self, it is necessary to believe that you are worth your priority. When you don’t make yourself a priority, it’s easy to put everyone else’s needs before your own.

Stop putting others before yourself to a fault, and start setting aside real time to nurture your Inner Child.

 

In the first post introducing this segment, I mentioned that your Inner Child is the part of your Self that, so long ago, played with reckless abandon, freely, imaginatively, and surely without Self-judgement.

When you focus your time, attention, and responsibilities on others, you create blocks in the flow of your Creative Energy. Likewise, when your flow becomes blocked, you tend to put more emphasis on others than Self. Additionally, you likely believe such behavior makes you a “good” or highly decent person. It doesn’t; it only drains you further of your Energy and makes you extremely frustrated and burned out.

Get in touch with your Spirituality and stay away from drama

Creativity flourishes when you have a sense of safety and Self-acceptance. The key ingredient to freeing your Creative Energy lies in nurturing your Self. Through nurturing your Self, you nurture your ties to your Spiritual center, which is from where Creativity flows freely.

While trying to attain a sense of safety and Self-acceptance, it is important that you avoid being dragged down by those around you whose personalities create storm centers. These people are charismatic but out of control, long on problems and short on solutions. They like drama, attention, and are irresistible to we who love to “fix”.

If you are involved with someone (or more than one) who fits this description, it is important that you admit to yourself that this person will only prevent you from exploring and attaining freedom.

Skeptics, expert blamers, drama queens, disorganized, and destructive, these people will find every reason for you not to achieve safety and Self-acceptance. Keep them, and yourself, in check.

 

Until next time,
