If you constantly say \u2018I AM\u2019 these negative states you are programming your VERY clear subconscious mind to output this reality for you. Your mind doesn\u2019t hear what you want when you contradict yourself with your thoughts.<br \/>\n*<br \/>\nWhere did this identify come from? You weren\u2019t born this way. Who are you comparing yourself to? Who told you you are \u2014?<br \/>\nOften we take on the identity that others give us. Parent\u2019s teachers, doctors etc. Just because we don\u2019t fit into the box that is expected of us we get a label &#038; voila that is who we become.<br \/>\nAdd in comparisonitis &#038; we have no chance.<br \/>\n*<br \/>\nI was told throughout life I was too emotional, too intense, too sensitive, &#8216;you are behaving like a child&#8217;, told I would never get anywhere in life as I talked too much, was erratic, amongst other things. This made me bury the real me &#038; build brick walls as high as the sky &#038; not allow anyone to get to know the real me. I felt like \u2018I\u2019 wasn\u2019t good enough.<br \/>\n*<br \/>\nThen the most damaging label of all was &#8216;mentally ill&#8217;, we\u2019d like to put you on antidepressants as you aren\u2019t coping. You need help, you&#8217;re sick in the head! I was dealing with a lot &#038; had been very poorly, where I dropped over 2 stone in weight in just over 16 days. I was in need of support, love, encouragement &#038; a blooming big hug. I didn\u2019t need to be told I was &#8216;sick in the head!&#8217;<br \/>\n*<br \/>\nWhy do we take on these identities given to us by others and allow it to become who we are?<br \/>\nI want you to know that the story you keep telling yourself is, a bull? story that you CAN change.<br \/>\nWhere does your belief of who you are come from?<br \/>\n*<br \/>\nYou are worthy, beautiful, gorgeous, PERFECT! Just the way you are!<br \/>\nDO NOT hide your gorgeousness to please others! Consciously contradict the negative self talk. YOU determine your identity. You can be WHOEVER you want to be.<br \/>\n*<br \/>\nI have transformed myself not only physically but mentally, over the last 8 years, once i\u2019d decided to allow, one brick at a time of my wall to be knocked down. Nourish your mind &#038; the body will follow.<br \/>\nHappiness shines from the inside!??<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/karlaevanspt\/photos\/a.1560788817540307\/2131851807100669\/?type=3\"><\/a><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/1560777524208103\/posts\/2131851807100669\">Source<\/a>  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who do you identify yourself as? * Do you say a lot of \u2018I AM\u2019 stressed, anxious, guilty, hopeless, fat, not worthy, whatever ? you [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1830,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/karlaevanspt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1829"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/karlaevanspt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/karlaevanspt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karlaevanspt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karlaevanspt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1829"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/karlaevanspt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1829\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karlaevanspt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1830"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/karlaevanspt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1829"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karlaevanspt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1829"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karlaevanspt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1829"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
