I keep myself in prison ....... in Evolution of a Human

"self concept"

~ limiting by assuming I can not do something or am not this or that.....

How do I know if I can or can not do that? Have I tried? have I given myself time and practiced regularly?

No matter what the source of my distorted self-concept (it actually does not matter where it came from) I can start now to break out of that limiting prison so that my past no longer determines my future.

I need to examine my assumptions about myself. What I say about myself and how I see myself.

I actually do have the ability to release myself from the limiting prison bars of assumptions I have made about my abilities and self.

Natural talent is way over rated as is the perfect upbringing. It has been through sheer focus, intention and work/practice that I became good at anything ~ that includes my writing, my counseling skills, my meditative mindfulness and at one time on the negative side, even my low self esteem. PRP ~ persistent regular practice

My imagined limits are what get me stuck in jail. My "I am not good enoughs" keep me down and imprisoned. Only I can unlock the prison doors. It starts with re educating myself and challenging my limiting assumptions about me.

There are plenty of 'ways' to achieve the re education and practice to create positive experience. I know what has worked for me and becuz it has been successful for me over many many years I know the process well enuff to be able to teach others to understand the process ~ grasping the simple truth that we can do almost anything if we practice it over time AND the odds are, we really can do more than we think.

My choice. I can take a tragedy or even a drama and turn it into an adventure and practice new skills as well as old skills that build my own self confidence. It simply means doing PRP. Building experience!!
