Through increasing self-awareness:
Boundaries (physical)
Grounding
Through increasing thought-awareness
By choosing to think positive, affirming thoughts
Through the creation of new core beliefs


Boundaries and grounding are essential for a healthy relationship with oneself and others

Your boundaries define physical limits. They make clear the separation between oneself and others

Boundaries are intelligent, like a cell wall (structural support, protection, and filter) they “let in” what is good for you and “keep out” what is not

There is no such thing as a useless thought. Each thought you have has power
We have between 50,000 and 75,000 thoughts each day
90-95% of our thoughts are repeated each day
We are largely unaware of our thoughts
Most repetitive thoughts are negative (fear, judgement, depressing, rejection, scarcity and resentful)
Thoughts do not just stay in your head, they extend out of you and effect others (saliva experiment)




Start paying attention to the thoughts in your mind. This makes the unconscious stream of negative thoughts conscious, and also allows you to more easily choose positive thoughts
Tool: Place a check on a notecard every time you notice a negative thought. Do not judge the thought for yourself, just notice it.
Tool: Notice when your inner peace has been disturbed.
Any disturbance can usually be traced back to a negative thought. Once you identify it, you can chose a different thought.




Remember that you are creating something new and fresh, not trying to redo or change what already exists.
Every moment is an opportunity to create what you desire.
Try to believe that your affirmation can be true.
Temporarily suspend your doubts and judgements
Phrase them in the present tense, as if you already have it

Phrase them in the most positive way you can. State what you want rather than what you don’t want.

I’m not OK, There’s something wrong with me, I’m unworthy/undeserving
I’ve made mistakes in my life and deserve to suffer for them
It’s bad to think highly of yourself. You’ll become obnoxious and brag about yourself
Love comes from others, not self
I will be happy and love myself when, I get all A’s, I have the right partner, get the right job, etc.
People, including me, are basically bad, selfish, cruel, stupid, untrustworthy, sinful or foolish
The world is an unsafe place
There’s not enough ________ (love, money, happiness, food, etc.)to go around
Life is pain, suffering, and hard work, it’s not meant to be fun
I don’t have control over what happens to me, I’m powerless to do anything about my life or the state of the world
Love is dangerous, I might get hurt

“The most powerful thing you can do (and it is very powerful) to change the world is to change your own beliefs about the nature of life, people
(especially yourself) and reality, and begin to act accordingly.”
