Archangel Gabriel:
Embracing Emotional Change
When you change how you feel about yourself, you are also
changing your confidence and self-esteem. Many of you already understand both
of these are based on emotions and feelings not on your self-image. So when you
change how you feel emotionally about yourself with higher, uplifting and
positive thoughts your self-esteem and confidence also rises. In order to
change your emotions it is important for you to comprehend there are two
different basic beliefs about the concept of self-image. There is a belief that
you hold in one or more areas in your life where you feel you are not good
enough. Now this could be tied into your financial status, intelligence,
appearance, lack of sexual prowess…low self-image can be obvious in any area of
your life. Then there is the second belief and that is your concept of success.
Many find changing this belief to be contrary to logical thinking yet it is a
necessary must if you are to overcome any insecurity and raise your self-esteem
and confidence.
In your mind you have an image of success and where you
should be in order to be happy. Your mind has this need to compare an image of
perfection and how you see your self-image as it is. Unfortunately when you are
busy comparing, judgments and criticisms towards your Self are born. It is when
you begin comparing what is needed to be perfect where you begin to reject
certain aspects of yourself being already good enough. Self-rejection creates a
feeling of unworthiness to be successful, of moving forward or achieving and it
greatly affects your self-esteem and confidence levels.
Even though the image that you hold inside your mind of
perfection provides you with a way to feel good about yourself, it is actually
causing more harm than good. Now dear ones; if you were to get rid of the
belief that you should fit in this certain image of perfection you would also
be getting rid of the self-rejection and feelings of unworthiness—your
self-esteem or confidence would not plummet.
When you are ready to be rid of the image of what
perfection is, you will at first find it seems contrary to your own sense of
logic and what is needed to build stronger confidence and esteem. And this is
only because you have deeply imbedded a belief to achieve perfection that will
ultimately provide you with a happy outcome that include positive feelings and
healthy confidence that would go with that success. Understand dear ones, your
precious minds have been conditioned and programmed to have such emotional associations.
You have this innate need to feel such feelings and to chase an image of
perfection that you have become attached to.
What you might not fully understand dear ones is that
when you do achieve your image of success, it has little effect to your emotional
health. There is no long-lasting change to the way you think and it doesn’t
change the way you believe about yourself. We have observed so many dear souls
achieving their goals only to find themselves still feeling unfulfilled,
unsatisfied. Of course upon completion the first feeling may be of euphoria,
but it is not permanent. Your central and basic beliefs are still there
comparing, giving you the notion that you are not being good enough to bring
change into a long-lasting permanent habit. That critical voice inside your
head will end up putting a higher goal for you to achieve while at the same
time providing you with feelings of self-rejection when the steps to achieving
higher goals becomes difficult. Feelings of failure, where you feel inadequate
are huge challenges to overcome, but not impossible if you change your core
beliefs and aim for wholeness instead of perfection.
One of the hardest things to change is how you feel
emotionally. It is paramount to change feelings of inadequacy to feelings of
being good enough and being capable and worthy. Your feelings dear ones help to
create and give strength to your core beliefs. And through them you either grow
fear or love. Understand that the emotions themselves are not the bad guys
here; they are merely a result of your negative beliefs. Your image of not
being good enough or not being able to achieve your image of perfection is in
need of change. One of the first steps though in changing this belief dear ones
is in your ability to recognize that it is you that is observing the “self”
image you have created. Understand that you cannot be this “self” you are
looking at. Remember you are the one doing the looking. This ultimately means
that the image of perfection you have created is really a non-self image…it is
not your true self.
When you become more aware you are able to choose to
believe in the non-self image that you have been observing or not to believe in
this non-self image. When you have such keen awareness, you are able to
successfully shift your point of view and this shift is the beginning to
changing your belief of your Self. Try to keep in mind that changing the notion
of not being good enough becomes much easier when you have dissolved your
belief in the image of what you consider to be perfection. Without that image
of perfection in the way, you no longer have anything to compare to.
When you are struggling with awareness and it is lacking,
oftentimes your mind will mislead you and you find yourself with failed
outcomes from effort to build on your confidence and self-esteem. So many
people still are trying to enhance their confidence with boosted efforts and
ways to become their image and concept of perfection. What this effort ends up
doing is it reinforces your belief that you really should become that
fictional, non-self image. The outcome unfortunately helps to develop stronger
methods for self-rejection, criticism and judgments. But if you are aware, you
are able to avoid chasing false beliefs and will spend your time and energy on
what truly and ideally makes a difference in the way you feel about yourself.
When you are making real changing progress in how you
feel emotionally you become more aware of the beliefs and thoughts that are
formed in the mind. And you are able to at the point of their entry change
those beliefs and turn them into positive thoughts from changing your feelings
to being positive and uplifting. This is not no over-night project, it will
take time and effort from you, but each of you are on a path of development already
where progress can go slow at times and other times you are holding on to your
seat as you are moving very fast. Making a positive turn to how you think of
yourself on an emotional level will provide you the focus to bring in the
necessary changes that will become permanent and bring about changes to basic,
core beliefs. Learning to not identify with your non-self will help you change
some of your smaller thoughts and beliefs. You will come to the realization
that you already have all that you need, and you know the areas that require
your undivided attention for improvement. You are not on the path to
perfection; you are on the path to wholeness, completion and living a much more
pure and simpler life. Give yourself credit for what you have accomplished thus
far and give yourself room to make mistakes. Without mistakes dear ones, you
would not know where improvements are needed; you would not have the
appreciation that comes from making a mistake. Mistakes provide you with the
opportunity to try again, but choosing differently in order for results to be
different. Embrace where you are right now and accept that YES it can be better
and you are moving forward bringing in positive changes one step and one day at
a time. We believe in you, now it is your turn to believe in yourself.
And so it is…
