In order to shift and transition into the new reality, we first need to let go of what is holding us back.

Most of us are brought up with messages that we are not good enough and that many things are wrong with us. Many times those messages came from school, family, friends, religious institutions, and the media.

Our current society feeds on our product consumption. As a result, we are constantly exposed to very aggressive marketing strategies. Billions are spent just to make us feel incomplete and not good enough until we buy a certain product. Advertising wants us to have low self-esteem and low confidence so we are more vulnerable and an easy target. If you don't feel good about yourself you are reaching out to food and other products to fill the void. Since the 19th-century advertisers have used fear, guilt, and shame techniques to create emotional imbalance and compliance to get you to purchase something.

As a result, many people are disconnected from themselves and they feel like they need something to make themselves acceptable or better in some way.

In addition, in our society women are conditioned by the media to feel like sex objects. As a result many are depressed, are hyperaware of the way they behave or look, have eating disorders, and body shame.

We end up being disconnected from our true selves.

During this course, we will change this. You will start to reconnect with yourself again so you can transition into the amazing person you are meant to be and let your light shine.

Tasks:

• Stop watching, reading, and listening to programs that only serve to reinforce negative thinking. Stay away from any form of media that makes you feel like you are not good enough
• Only expose yourself to content that helps you cultivate positive thoughts and that reminds you that you are already perfect and whole at this moment
• Write down all the negative beliefs you have about yourself and also write down where they came from. (worksheet attached)
• Go back to yourself as a three-year-old child. Look at yourself and think about how it would be like to yell all of those negative beliefs you carry at this child

This child is still inside of you and you are telling it all the time that it's not good enough. So there is a reason you are not feeling so good.
