Without Acceptance of who you are you will not move forward away from a previous toxic way of thinking. You will constantly regurgitate the old patterns of thought. Evolving is adjusting to the current environment that is believed. If we believe we are a negative we will evolve into negative. If we believe we are in a positive we will evolve into being positive. That is basic.
Doubt is always in our minds and it does not come from within. Doubt comes from outside influences. We watch and listen without thinking. Our subconscious mind always uses our senses to take note and record EVERYTHING. Our subconscious mind loves habits. it will attach itself to something we constantly think of. If we tell ourselves we are sick and you will become sick, it is guaranteed.
We are so primitive and weak at a conscious level. We are so gullible. Our subconscious mind is very powerful and does not know right from wrong. We can teach it anything we want to. We just have to be consistent. We are teaching it all day long for the good and the bad.
Accepting our weaknesses is key. Accepting what we do not like about ourselves is important. Focusing on what we want to change is where we should put our efforts. Not looking back at the past and what hurts us is where the work should be.
