ENERGY PROFILE FOR DECEMBER:  

TAKING THINGS PERSONALLY

                                                                                         
                                     

We've all taken things personally, when the comment, the word, the look, wasn't intended for us but we 'knew' it was.  What does it mean about our inner make-up and what can we do to stop taking things personally?

A propensity to take things personally is not bad but it is emotionally painful and energy draining. It will ultimately affect all our relationships and probably not in a positive manner.

Taking things personally appears simple and harmless but energetically it is a sign that below the surface, like a glacier, there are things that can cause harm.  These dynamics are as follows:

• personalizing
• self-centeredness
• comparing self
• defensiveness
• self-judgment
• self-consciousness
• fear of rejection
• shame
• perfectionism
• self-dislike
• criticalness
• need for approval
• not feeling good enough
• not feeling like you belong
• fear of doing something wrong

These energy dynamics are like the arms of an octopus. Cutting off an arm or two does not necessarily transition the octopus to octopus heaven. What is needed is to go for the core, the body of the octopus.

And what do you think is at the core of taking things personally? This is not an easy question to answer but there are three pivotal core dynamics feeding and supporting the above energies.
They are:

• self-worth
• self-acceptance
• inner security

When you know you have self-worth, regardless of what you do, say, think, believe, race, gender, intelligence, education-level or socio-economic level, you will be more likely to accept yourself which provides one of the energy ingredients for inner security.

Without feeling our worth, accepting ourself or having inner security, we will always be watching for signs from our environment that either confirm or imply we don't have worth. Our personal filters will misinterpret what others are saying and doing. And every time something occurs, it will reinforce our fear that there is something wrong with us and we will try harder to fit in, be perfect, say the right thing and censor what we really feel.

The above energy schematic shows your subconscious mind how to begin moving through 'taking things personally'. On the left side of the picture it shows your subconscious mind how to diminish personalizing things, self-centeredness, comparing self, defensiveness, self-judgment and fear of rejection.

In the center of the energy schematic your subconscious mind is shown how to acknowledge your innate worth and increase self-acceptance and inner security. On the right side of the energy picture your subconscious mind is shown how to reposition yourself, moving out of victim stance and becoming more of an observer of others and life. It also shows how to maintain emotional and spiritual boundaries and move into a positive orientation.

To prevent an individual from becoming triggered or over-whelmed by the information encoded in the energy schematic, the majority of the energy information available to your subconscious mind is locked.  There is enough information provided to start you on your path of working through 'taking things personally'.  If you desire to work with this dynamic at a deeper level in a safe environment, please call Creative Insights for a personal session.
