I  dentify your unhealthy patterns that stem from insecurity: Notice the patterns you engage in to avoid, resist, or cope with any feelings of insecurity.Trace your personal history to discover the origins of these patterns. Identify the patterns and when they first occurred and the people and circumstances that trigger them in the present. Ask yourself the following questions: In what past situations were these patterns formed? Do I have any unfinished business related to them, such as forgiving my family? Discuss your insights with a trusted therapist or supportive friend. D  istinguish between your external identity and your true being: First, write down as many ways to identify yourself focusing on external characteristics such as: My name is . . . therefore I am, I think . . . therefore I am, My work is . . . therefore I am, or My body is . . . therefore I am. Now drop down into your heart and write down as many ways to identify your being such as: I am light… therefore I am; I am love; therefore I am, I am a co-creator; therefore I am, or I am divine energy; therefore I am. Finally, write the second group of affirmations on Post-it notes and place them where you can see them. As we reach a higher level of spiritual development, we have to do the inner healing work to free ourselves from the shackles of insecurity. We must be accountable for recognizing and then releasing the co- dependent patterns that inhibit our soul’s expression. It’s time we break the cycle and stop repeating these patterns so that we can spiritually grow and thrive.
