A part of you may not want to heal.
No, it isn’t a sign that you’re a bad person. Nor is it a reason to turn against yourself.
This is the shadow side of ourselves that stays hidden and unacknowledged until we challenge it and examine its assertions. It is the source of self-sabotage.
Treat it with kindness as it is part of you.
Treat it with tenderness as your inner child.
Understand that its fears come from a good place, which is to protect you (from injury, disappointment, trauma, etc).
Just persist in healing practices.
Expand or change these as appropriate to your progress.
Overcome the part that doubts or fears by persisting.
Persist.
It is very, very common for people to build up internal narratives about who they are. These are largely limiting and based on maintaining social approval (within family, communities, etc). These can be overcome gently and left behind.
In healing, some of us may get to discover who we really are for the first time in our lives. That becomes a gift to those who love us or have yet to meet us.
Once we decide to heal (to return to the full expression of who we really are), we can let go of the components of this limited shadow self. It will be identified by its negative beliefs and fears.
Examine the stories about yourself that involve "can't." Find the negative belief/fear under it. Name it and release it to Spirit for healing.
"Nice" can sabotage healing.
We're not knocking intentional kindness here. I'm referring to that need for things to be smooth all the time and not challenge us or the status quo.
Just being nice all the time can be a problem of people-pleasing. Letting others subject you to their will is a choice.
It is a choice rooted in fear.
What is the worst that could happen?
What what-ifs are lurking under your people-pleasing?
If you are too nice to assert yourself when you need to, then 'nice' is a problem for you.
If you are too impressionable or easily led in the face of anyone who is nice to you, then isn’t it leading you away from who you truly are?
Only you know who you are and what you truly need.
Going along with a doctor’s advice even though it isn’t working? But she was so nice, why not?
Why not go with what you feel in your gut?
What was your first quiet urging?
Were you afraid to speak it out loud?
You can DECIDE to heal.
The details of 'how' will come after.
Everything going on in my body and consciousness is MY doing and totally under my control. It is all MY creation.
People get stuck in 'wanting' something but not knowing 'how.' You can waste an entire lifetime that way.
Your power awaits for your DECISION. You will attract to you all the tools, methods, and help you need once you completely commit to healing.
Synchronicity will roll it all out for you. Just keep saying Yes.
You do not need to know 'how' beforehand. It is irrelevant to the decision. Let the Universe hook you up and surprise you in ways your cognitive limitations could never do.
I and I alone am responsible for what is happening with my body, my health, and my consciousness. I AM aligning with Love and releasing all fear and all negative beliefs.
It is impressive how much can change -- and how quickly -- when we do that.
Peace and healing,
Kannon
