When Possibility happens your Self Limiting Belief may rise up.

Posted on by Dr Harry Henshaw

As I go about creating possibility for myself and my life, I am filled with so many emotions.  These feelings seem, at times, to coexist inside my mind and body.  Happiness and elation along side fear and dread.  For the most part, I am able to manage this internal dance that takes place, the movement back and forward from one emotion to the other and then back again.  The end result has always been that I am able to stay in the conversation of possibility.

It seems that as I am creating possibility in somewhat small steps, the negative emotions and self limiting belief appear manageable.  However, when possibility begins to appear as something truly extraordinary something else start to happen.  When my creation seems as though it could move from something rather small to something very large, the emotional state changes as well.  The  emotional state shifts from one of being primarily positive to one that has a very negative cast to it.

Last night that happened to me.  In conversation about the possibility of my creation was starting to be played big, no longer small as it had been in the past.  The negative emotions began to almost instantly arise within me as soon as the conversation turned to expanding the creation.  I know that what happened within me last night was my sense of deservability starting to arise and with it the internal dialogue of me not being enough and nothing ever turns out good.  I was experiencing a sense of not deserve the expansion.

My only answer is to sit with the experience and resist creating a story about it.  It is creating a story about the experience that will drive me further and further into the negative state.  Even in the face of this negative emotional state I have to continue to pursue the conversation of possibility, of playing large.  I must push through the belief that I do not deserve that which is starting to appear for me.  In addition, I must continue to meditate on my positive affirmation of being the possibility of acceptance and creation.

Letting Go of the Story that Limits Us in Life is Important

Posted on by Dr Harry Henshaw

When you start to become aware of the fact that it is truly our thinking and thoughts that are running our life, you eventually get it that it is from this internal process that we create stories.  We create stories not just about our life in general but stories about our everyday living.  When we wake up in the morning we start to create a story.  Creating stories is apart of what it is to be human. The context from which these stories get create is primarily from our self image, which in this instance is from our self limiting belief.  While we do our best to create possibility for ourselves and our life it is the context that tends to undermine if not destroy our creation and eventually our life.

The way we know or have insight into the nature of the story is not through an examination of our thinking but rather through our feelings.  It is sometimes difficult to judge our thoughts as they mostly appear to us to be true and valid.  However, our feelings are how our body experiences our thoughts and thinking.  When we have negative feelings we have the opportunity to get it that the thoughts that we are having and that created the emotions or feelings that we are experiencing are also negative.  From negative thoughts we experience negative emotions, such as fear, sadness, depression, anger, frustration, anxiety, etc.  From this we have the opportunity to also become present to the fact that we are also creating another negative story about our life.

Staying present to how we feel allows us to monitor the very nature of the stories that we create.  If we feel bad we know that we are creating a negative story that we are living into to.  Our mistake is always to believe that the story is about reality, about how things are.  However, it is merely a story we are creating, from our negative self image, from the self limiting belief.  As we go on the journey of transforming ourselves we have to constantly practice giving up the negative story.  We have to understand that it is made up by us, from our negative self image and then let it go, get it that it is not real, that it does not reflect or resemble what is going on in life.  This process of letting go of the story will assist us in our transformation as it will keep us from living into the negative story which will inevitably only justify the poor self image that we currently have.

Every Morning is Full of Possibility

Posted on by Dr Harry Henshaw

When we wake up in the morning we not only start the day anew but have the opportunity to create new possibility for ourselves and the world.  The mornings are a time for true and pure creation.  What I focus on at that moment starts to create purpose and direction for my life at that moment.  The mornings are a new beginning for us in so many ways.

When I wake up at 4 am every morning I take a moment to begin to intention my day.  The intention I create at that moment sets the stage for much of what will take place throughout my day.  It is about choosing what I will take on from that point forward, will begin to generate and do so until I got to sleep at night.  The creation of possibility in the morning is very powerful.

Take a moment upon arising to intention your day, to say with your word what you will begin to create for yourself and even others.  Once your start to think and say what you want to have happen you begin to attract that into your life.  Again, your word, spoken or written, will determine the journey of your life.

The Process of Transformation, about the Two Voices in my Head.

Posted on by Dr Harry Henshaw

On a daily basis I struggle with the inner voices that I am very present to now.  One is the voice of the past, filled with self doubt, filled with negative affirmations, that things will not work out, something always goes wrong, you will not succeed.  And the other voice, from the present, the one that I am generating now, one that is filled with possibility, you deserve to create a future of endless wealth and prosperity.  The process of transformation for me involves the movement between these two voices.

At some moments during the day I feel filled with hope and possibility, that I will be able to create my dreams, that I will be able to succeed at that which I am creating now.  At other times I am filled with self doubt and even with the certainty that things will not  go the way I want or desire.  The emotional state of each voice is very different.  The former generating a sense of happiness and joy while the latter is about me feeling fear and despair.

What I am learning is about how to react to the two voices that compete in my head, especially that from my past.  When I become aware of the voice of the past, attempting to limit or even stop my dreams from becoming a reality, I merely sit with the voice.  Being present to this voice while not engaging it, simply acknowledging it without trying to fight it or make it go away, resulting in my refusal now to give it the power that I once gave it.

Once acknowledged, I then begin to practice letting it go, of getting that it truly involves a story about myself that I have make up, that it is not reality or reflective of the truth.  From this insight I begin to generate or create with my thought and word the language of the voice that I want to experience as my reality.  Knowing that both voices exist gives me power to practice choosing which I will be at any given moment.  It is work though, to be mindful of my inner self talk and how it attempts to take over and run my life.

The Roller Coaster Ride of Daily Life.

Posted on by Dr Harry Henshaw

Every day that I wake up is about getting back on the roller coaster ride of life.  I wake up with possibility and inspiration, begin my work on my new projects and take on life.  While the ride is fun and exciting in the beginning of the day, at some point the ride starts to take a dip. The dip is thinking and feeling that what I am doing will not work or succeed, that I will fail.  The experience of the dip is always of a negative nature.  Fear sets in and I start to question my work, that I will make it in my new endeavor.  This happens everyday.  I have come to know that it will happen each day, at some point in my day.

I am now working on staying present to my feelings.  My feelings are a cue that the dip is taking place and that I am making up a negative story about myself, my life and what I am now doing.  Once I feel the negative feelings I am practicing relaxing and focusing on the present, bringing myself into the now.  I relax and ground myself.  Grounding myself helps to get that nothing is wrong now.  The feeling and thinking about being wrong is from my past attempting to direct and structure my present.  It is my old story about myself that starts to come up, attempting to take back control of my life.

The work is to practice staying aware of my body, how it is feeling, relax when I start to experience negative emotions and ground myself in the present.

Who I am is the Possibility of Acceptance.

Posted on by Dr Harry Henshaw

The question for us is always, who will we be.  Who am I?  It is not only what will we think, although that is very important.  It is always a question of our being, who will we be.  The transformation is about our entire existence, mind, body and especially our spirit.

From the past we have been being someone, a self we created early, as a child.  This story has directed our life, much of our behavior has been about validating this self, making it true and real.  This self exists as a statement, a belief or thought about who we are, who we are in life and in the world.

Part of my work is to stay aware of, to stay present to my possibility.  The new self is a possibility, something that does not always exist.  It exists when I am practicing my word, when I am affirming myself as that possibility.  The possibility will come and then it will pass out of existence.  My work is to continue to affirm, both in my word and act, that I am being the possibility of acceptance. Acceptance of what is, at any moment, giving up the struggle of my past that’s design is to make me wrong, to make me not good enough.

Here is where the work of using positive affirmations is so very important.  Using positive affirmations allows the ability to reinvent ourselves when are saying and being them.  The positive affirmation creates the  possibility for us to be different, to be a new you, to recreate yourself a new.  While we will resist this particular type of work, the end result of using positive affirmation will be transformation.

The Struggle of Creating Possibility in My Life

Posted on by Dr Harry Henshaw

Creating Possibility in my life will appear as a struggle.  Riding the roller coaster ride of life is filled with ups and downs.  Sometimes I feel as though I am making progress and things are going well.  At other times, even in the same day, it appears as though life is taking a dip, that things will not work out and that I will fail.  The ride is difficult to manager at times.  It is work manage this part of my life.

I know, from doing this work, that what is driving the process is the new me that is attempting to emerge and also the self limiting belief that I am not enough, that something is wrong with me.  Here is the heart of the struggle.  It is a thought, a belief about who I really think I am that is  causing the ride.  At one moment I am being my new self and at others I am being my self limiting belief.  It is not the emotion but rather the thinking behind the feelings that I have.

There is nothing to do except take the ride.  There is nothing to do except be aware of and stay present to the struggle and to the best of my ability keep standing in my new self and continue to create possibility for myself and my life.  I acknowledge my self limiting belief but continue to say to myself and be my new self, my new identity.  This struggle and ride will continue.  Part of my work is to accept it for what it is and not fight or get into a struggle with it, to merely accept that which is.

The Dance on the Roller Coaster Ride of Life

Posted on by Dr Harry Henshaw

Given the importance of self esteem and our lack of it, life sometimes appears as a dance.  One moment we are living in our possibility, feeling that our life is truly transforming, that life itself is full of joy and tranquility.  And in another moment we are gripped by fear, believing that everything will turn out bad, that we will fail at what we are taking on, that there is something wrong with us.  The dance, the going back and forth between these two states, happens daily, sometimes ever hourly.  The dance is part of the roller coaster ride that we as human beings are to participate in.

Our work is to stay, as much as possible, in our possibility, to come to belief that we are, for example, perfect, whole and complete.  There are many practices that we can engage in that will help us with this part of our growth.  The being of our possibility is very fragile and can disappear in a moment leaving us with being our self limiting belief and all of the negative emotions that come with it.  Awareness of the dance and the roller coaster ride is part of the transformation that will set us free from the prison of our beliefs about ourselves.  We need to know that such a dance exists and that we will engage in it from time to time, accepting the fact that the dip part of the ride will happen.

One of the modalities that can help you with strengthening your belief about yourself is the use of affirmations.  Using affirmations keeps you in possibility and with repeated use will help to transform your identity and view of yourself.

Staying Present to your Self Limiting Belief will assist you in your Transformation

Posted on by Dr Harry Henshaw

While we take on creating possibility in our life, of being different in life, we must stay present and aware of our tendency to go back to how we were in the past.  The self limiting belief is that which will take us away from the possibilities that we want and are attempting to create for ourselves and our life.  The self limiting belief keeps us in the past and in our former way of being.  The self limiting belief does not go away or disappear.

The self limit belief merely gets replaced by the new self or possibility that we are about creating.  The new self or possibility that we are creating is fragile and in need of support from us.  The self limiting belief has been around awhile, for many years in most cases.  Initially, the self limiting belief is firmly embedded in our life, in many of the experiences that we have, through the associations and triggers from our experiences.  When we start to take on living life differently we have to stay aware of the power and tendency of the self limiting belief to move back into directing our life.

What is necessary is for us to continue to create the possibility everyday.  The possibility could appear as an affirmation, as new language about who we want to be.  When we focus on our new possibility,  on our new positive affirmations, we are recreating ourselves.  The work has to be daily and constant.  Given our nature, how we are wired as human beings, we could slip back into the past and our self limiting belief if we are aware of its existence if have the power to dictate our life again.

Taking on Transforming My Life and My Self Limiting Belief

Posted on by Dr Harry Henshaw

Recently I have taken on changing my vocation.  In the recent past I have always practiced counseling.  While I still believe that such a profession is a good one and in the past one that has given me a lot of satisfaction, I have decided to change, to move in another direction. Being both a counselor or musician, I have decided to take on creating and marketing my music to the world and on a full time basis.  Such a venture has always excited me, at least having the possibility of it, but in the past I have had the belief that I could not make a living by such a venture.  It has been my beliefs about myself and my ability that have held me back from finding out about my ability to make a living at my music.  I now have this awareness in how I was stopped by myself and more important how it continues to try to stop me.

Within the past three months I have made the decision to move forward with my dream, to create the possibility of creating, marketing and selling my music to the world and have this be my source of income for myself.  What I did was take on working in the counseling field part time and have this be a source of income to help me through the transition.  What was once my part time job, so to speak, is now my more than full time job, music.  As I have been doing the work of the new venture I am experiencing many challenges, facing and learning new things that I have never known about.  The learning curve is very steep, requiring me to face things that I do not know and learn them as I move forward.

As I take on this new venture I am very present to the self talk that I have running in my head, the voice that I hear at times, the voice telling  me that I can not do this, that it will not work, that I will fail.  Part of my work now, and I know it now, is to listen to this voice, acknowledge it, and then continue to move forward. Even given the negative nature of my self talk I am continuing to create the possibility of what I want to have happen.  My self limiting belief about myself will continue to be there as it has been in the past and by recognizing my feeling state know when it is trying to take control of my way of being and merely create the possibility of who I want to now be.  I can not change the self limiting belief that I have but merely create a new possibility for myself as apart of my transformation.
