In the movie “What the Bleep” one of the keys that struck me is the comment that “what we do is disguise the negative thinking with a layer of positive thinking“. In essence we don’t own the positive. It’s more of “moving away from what we don’t want” than “moving toward what we do want.”

The question I continue to ask myself is why? Why am I afraid to move through certain things to get to the Freedom – and yes there are still parts of me that are stuck. The blessing is that as I choose to see each one I can process and let go of it.

It’s exactly what happened the other day doing an excercise for business. I was at a workshop and having a difficult time articulating my brand/business purpose. Given 60 seconds I would freeze knowing that I could talk about it if I didn’t feel the pressure of time (and by now I had already asked about that issue too).  In the excercise my task was to say – “I am powerful” and just before it was my turn I was getting ready – essentially saying it with each person before me – and as I said the statement I followed it with “that’s obnoxious”. A little while later I had some time to look at that and when I put all of the pieces together and saw where it had come from it was gone – the rest of the workshop was completely different and today I feel like I own who I am and the power that I have to “be”. I know that there are a lot of programs and premises out there that advocate just “saying something differently” or simply saying the power statement over and over again but that’s “overwriting” and I KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt that it will simply show up somewhere else. I like the freedom to continually drop these fears away and be more of who I am meant to be. To live in a state of becoming. To be able to own all the beauty of life. That’s what the formula is all about.
