LIVING IN AUTHENTICITY

MODULE 7: CONDITIONING, BELIEFS, PATTERNS

AUTHENTICITY OVER BELONGING

Awareness and Unpacking of all the ways our Ego/Subconscious came to our rescue to keep us safe - and how to go about claiming your own truth in all you do every moment of every day.

MODULE 7: CONDITIONING, BELIEFS, PATTERNS

Our Authenticity comes into play here when we talk about, become aware of and unpack our conditioning, beliefs and patterns that are no longer serving us. Our sense of belonging (to a family, community, club, race, culture, etc) will take a direct hit when we become our true authentic selves.

There will come a time when stepping into your authentic true self will be in direct opposition to the belonging you think you desire. You're true belonging is that to Source, Universe, god. not other humans.

So what is all this talk about Conditioning, Patterns + Beliefs anyway?

CONDITIONING

Ways Society, culture, family shapes us into being and doing and having experiences that are built to make everyone comfortable. It is a system of criticism, judgment and lack of authenticity.

PATTERNS

Are ways of experiencing the world that we learned at a very small age from our caregivers. Our desire to belong and be unconditionally loved are at the basis of why we abandon our true nature - to belong.

BELIEFS

Beliefs are just thoughts we have continued to think - long enough to make them a dominant vibration within us. They may r may not be true, factual or even align with who you are. Most often they are created through our perceptions and experiences in the world, again, for the need to belong.

How do we know that these above mentioned experiences are not our true nature?

When they allow you to feel anything less than unconditional love and well being, peace, joy and ease for yourselves. Because anything less than this is a false ego creation to keep us safe and in survival mode.

You were created to THRIVE.

What does thriving look and feel like to you?

MORNING ROUTINE

Good Morning Sweet Soul!

Ok, lets recap a moment:

Morning Ritual includes:

- Waking to bring your awareness to feeling good for the day ahead. The very first thing you do before or just as you open your eyes.

- Getting out your tongue scraper and actually using it

- Drinking a huge glass of water to flush your system

- Taking a moment to write down (or at least call to mind) what you can appreciate in this moment

- Meditation

- Movement

- Sacred Eating Practices

- Abyhanga - self massage

Our next level of Daily Routine includes something you typically do anyway - but now it's going to be more mindful. And that is of Hygiene and dressing. When we bathe, shower or take a bath we are providing our bodies the necessary energy shedding from the previous 24hrs.

When you allow the water to run over your body - pay mindful attention to how the body changes from a chill and goosebumps to warm and soft. Doing a Shower (or bath) meditation is powerful.

Create one of your own, or choose to repeat this mantra:

I appreciate that I have warm water to clean my body. I love my body. I love how it moves. I love how my body supports me in all I want to do. I love how clean I feel afterwards. I love the smell of the soap and shampoo I use. I love taking a shower (or bath). I love taking care of myself. I love this body, this life, right now.

Celebrate yourself for jumping in feet first and doing the work to transform your life into one that is full of joy, peace and ease. I think you're powerful.

JOURNALING

Appreciation + Intention Setting

THRIVING.

1. What does that look like for you?

2. Are you thriving today? Where are you still in survival mode?

3. How could you shift your daily practices to gain a sense of thriving?

4. What would need to happen?

YOU are NO LONGER in survival mode.

YOU are no longer just "going along with it".

YOU are a creative being who came here to create and thrive - so damn it, let's thrive!

5. Create a page in your journal for each of the following:

Conditioning

Beliefs

Patterns

Start to write down all the ways in which your life has revolved around those things that cause triggers in you in these areas. These will be the stories we tell ourselves because someone or something outside of us has convinced us this is the way things should be. They can be things about your physical body, about the world or about anything that comes up. Money is a big one. So is body image. What are those conditioning, beliefs and patterns that actually create a feeling of uneasiness, sadness, discomfort, grief, shame or vulnerability.

Then make a new page for each and rewrite a new way to engage with that story to make it feel less resistive to you - to change your neuropathways to a new story, a new and better feeling story.

This will be a practice every day until Source Energy calls you home. This work does not end. Good luck. Keep going.

I love you so much, it's crazy.

MOMENTS-IN-BETWEEN

Create your own Guideposts to a healthy, abundant, peaceful and joyful life. These are your "boundaries", your ways of being authentic and true to yourself.

Listen to my podcast episode of the 11 Guideposts I created for a long, healthy and happy life for inspiration to create ones that truly resonate with you and your truth.

AWARENESS

With your new Guidepost list - now become aware if those items are currently in your reality or if you now must start to practice this new way of guiding yourself back to yourself and your needs and desires.

MOVEMENT

Get outside and go for a walk, or stand in the grass and smell the air.

MEDITATION

GO TO MEDITATION section for options today

The goal of Meditation is to turn the volume down on your thoughts - you will never get the mind to completely shut off - this is a futile attempt.

Meditation can also be mindfully doing one task at a time, like our everyday tasks of laundry, cleaning the house or a quiet walk in nature.

Breathwork for this week

Find a quiet and comfortable place to sit where you will not be disturbed for at least 10 minutes.

Bring all of your awareness to your breathing.

Close your eyes to encourage an inward focus.

Nothing special to do - simply practice the awareness of the breath coming in, and the breath leaving the body.

Scan the body from toes to crown of the head and become aware of what your body needs today.

Allow the mind to wander and keep coming back to the breath.

Practice these phrases:

Inhale: I cannot get this life wrong.

Exhale: Make an audible sound of release and relief. Ah......

EVENING ROUTINE

Practices and rituals to prepare for the best nights sleep and to prepare for the best day ahead - your chance to start over.

Our circadian rhythms are invaluable to our overall health, yet many of us never think twice about them. All of life has a routine or when to wake and when to rest. Keeping a regular and peaceful routine is going to not only help you sleep more soundly, but it has the ability to assist in weight loss, regulating the nervous system and keeping all systems go.

1 Hour before bed

The most effective time to start preparing for bed is about 830pm. Why? Because by 10pm, our bodies intuitively get a "second wind" and will prevent you from getting a restful sleep.

So, about 830pm, remove yourself from any electronics - tv, phone, computer - and make it an evening ritual that resonates with you. Watching tv or even reading in bed before sleep are detrimental to our bodies ability to rest well.

Book-ended Hygiene

As in the morning, so like the evening, brush the choppers, floss, wash the face - all the things. Brush the hair and put on clean comfortable, loose fitting pjs. Maybe light your favorite candle or put on soft relaxing ambient music.

Get on the floor - or in the bed

For stretching, maybe simply lie in Savasana, and prepare for meditation/reflection on your day.

Allow the body to soften and unwind. If it was a particularly rough day, practice saying super nice things to yourself - allow whatever needs to surface to come up and with the breath, let it all go from the mind and body. Maybe do a light overall body shake and visualize all the crappy things that may have happened to shake loose from your whole body.

Now is a great time for written reflection as well.

Reflection

What did you find hard today?

Where did you feel yourself resisting what is?

It could be as simple as aches and pains getting out of bed or as difficult as dealing with a situation in the office.

How did you meet the challenges the day brought?

Are you going to use the same techniques tomorrow or would you prefer to do something differently?

What would that look like?

What big or small celebration came your way today?

Write about how it made you feel and focus your words in the present and most positive way possible.

930-945pm Land of Nod

Call to mind the best feeling thoughts you have - about your day, someone you love or the anticipation of being able to start over again in the morning or the excitement (like on Christmas morning) of the possibilities tomorrow might bring. Close your eyes. Off to the Land of Nod you go!
