A Healthy way to Dialogue with your Mind
What’s the first word that comes to your mind at the thought of a magician?
Is it “ABRACADABRA”?
Did you know that “abracadabra” in Hebrew literally means “as I speak, I create”?
The words you speak to yourself hold immense power. The words you speak to yourself can shift your perception about the world, it can influence your beliefs about people and society, and it can make opportunities work for you. Unintentionally, it can also create obstacles that block you from reaching your goals and dreams.
We all love opportunities that expand us emotionally, socially, and intellectually. We want opportunities to come our way. However, one of the top reasons why people do not manifest or reach their desired outcome lies in their inability to dialogue with their minds *healthily*.
When we see a far-reaching goal, we can be our worst critic and put ourselves down by comparing our abilities to others, seeing ourselves as not being good enough/ smart enough to get what we want.
One of the most common questions I’d get when a friend/ client is offered a great opportunity for growth, be it in a change of career or the opportunity for a raise is this: “what if I can’t meet their expectations? What do I need to do when such a good opportunity comes to me?”
While it sounds logically correct to ‘toughen up’ and criticize any limiting thoughts, and just ‘fake it till you make it’, a gentler approach that is much more effective would be to see the negative voice as a concerned friend.
Be curious and open to what the negative voice has to say. Often, sitting down with yourself and opening up with the following statement can help facilitate the process:
“Hi negative voice I hear you, I have this great opportunity coming for me. While a part of me is really excited and ready to go on this adventure, I’m hearing that you are concerned for me. You feel that i’m not ready for it. What is it that you’re here to teach/ communicate/ warn/ remind me about?
Being still and undisturbed will be greatly beneficial for this exercise as you start to receive insights on what are some possible concerns, and fears that may be trying to get your attention or wanting to keep you feeling safe and secure.
After reflecting on the above exercise, you can thank the part for its contribution and reassess your decision. By doing so, you’ll reach a decision that eases your mind and spirit instead of having them fight against each other.
