Hi !

"This above all: to thine own self be true. And it must follow,
as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man."
- William Shakespeare

Every single one of us has a Core Concern that becomes a theme
in our life. And we all spend a lot of time and energy trying to
avoid feeling our Core Concern. Much of this is done unconsciously.
Becoming aware of your habitual Focus of Attention and Coping
Strategy helps shine a light on that Core Concern and the simple
act of awareness begins to loosen the hold the Core Concern has on
you.

I am trying to get you to be more aware of your Core Concern.
I am NOT telling you to get rid of it. Much of the non-productive
behavior that you engage in is due to trying to rid yourself of
that Core Concern, trying not feel it and especially trying not let
anyone see that you feel it.

What I am suggesting is that you accept it. So, for example, if
comparing yourself to others is your Core Concern, then when feelings
of longing and melancholy arise, accept it and say, "Oh that's just my
envy talking." And then those feelings will dissipate.

In contrast, if you were to try to say, "Oh no, I'm feeling envy.
That's bad. I shouldn't feel that". Then the envy increases or
goes underground and pops up even stronger than before when you
aren't looking.

Or, if your Core Concern is doubt, then when you are feeling contrary,
you can say, "Oh that's just my doubt talking" and then it dissipates.

If your Core Concern is not being acknowledged, then when you are
feeling hurt because your help has not been acknowledged, you can say,
"Oh, that's just my pride again."

This is important - there is NO judgment. Just a statement of what is and
a release. This is very powerful. Try it. "Oh, that's just my fear/anger/avarice/etc. talking."

We spend so much energy trying NOT to feel, but the trick is to
just let the feeling in - acknowledge it, thank it for its
wisdom and let it move on. Like a thought passing through your
mind, a feeling passes through your body. It's alright, let it in,
let it out. Trying to repress or rid yourself of it only increases
its hold on you.

Anytime you accept "what is", you release resistance and then you
have much more energy available to you. Is there anything about
yourself that you don't accept? What if you just dropped all
resistance to it? What if you said, "this is what I am and that's
okay"? Wouldn't that feel good? No judgment, no guilt, no shame.
Those are very low vibration emotions and they never help or effect
change. They keep you stuck. In acceptance, there is healing and
movement.

Today will bring you a new awareness, a lesson or a manifestation
that you are making progress - IF YOU LOOK FOR IT!  No matter how
large or small, please record it in your Evidence Journal. It will
only take a few moments and will AUTOMATICALLY put you in the Flow.

Truly Caring for Your Success!
