Celebrating (ourselves & our wins) can feel like such a strange experience when it is new to us. Usually reserved for time of great external achievement such as an award or life event, however, it is an unlikely ally as we begin to re-programme our sub-conscious mind.
Imagine a child when learning to walk. It is not punished for falling down, rather every step is met with joy, applause and celebration. This is how learning takes place so quickly. Positive reinforcement is a very natural and instinctual parental tool. Yet as adults, it is something we with-hold from ourselves.
We are far more likely to self-punish, to put ourselves down and to with-hold from celebrating successes.
The truth is, you cannot with-hold from yourself and not with-hold from others.
GET YOUR EGO READY TO BE SQUARED UP!
You might not see the connection yet, but here it is in black and white. PLAYING DOWN YOUR WINS IS SELFISH.
It perpetuates the lie that we all need to lose & suffer. It perpetuates the 'dis-ease' that we should play safe & small. When we hide, we send the message that others should hide too. Because we are all connected, it is simply not possible to have one rule for us and another rule for others. So this is the first WIRE we are uncrossing.
Let's turn this around NOW! This is what it means to LIVE IN THE LIGHT!
