Here is today’s Game and what’s going on.
This is what I learned from Dave Hollis‘ book, Get Out of Your Own Way.
Today’s highlights and declaration come from the chapter titled “The Lie: If She Doesn’t Love Me, I’m Not Lovable.” Let’s jump in:
- We have an experience, and then we let that experience anchor us to the belief that we’re likely to repeat that experience.
- The affirmation I was looking for couldn’t actually come from others but had to come from inside myself.
THINGS THAT CAN HELP YOU
- Sit on a stranger’s couch. Therapy is your friend. Getting under the hood of what’s led you to who you are and what you believe isn’t easy work, but it’s incredibly important if you’re going to be successful in letting go of things that previously had power over your life.
- Take stock of all the people who know and accept you as you are. When you start to believe something negative about yourself, it can be hard to see the evidence that debunks the lies.
- Challenge the voice in your head. You get to decide if you listen to your thoughts or not. You get to challenge the things you think and, even more, push back on why you think the things you do. The decision to not take everything you think at face value allows you to change the narrative as you actively consider what is true and what isn’t. If you don’t take the time to think about what you think about, you may just believe those thoughts in your head, even the ones that aren’t true.
That leads us to today’s Dadly Daily Declaration:
Don’t let the experiences of your past dictate what’s available for you in your future.
You, and only you, get to determine your self-worth. The sooner you come to appreciate that you are enough as you are, that you are good as you are, that you are worthy as you are, the sooner you’ll be available to connect meaningfully in relationships as your true self.
