I am Invincible Part 2

If you read my last post, you might be asking yourself how it really works...  What needs to be done after you've noticed that something isn't right?  How do those new thoughts and behaviors get created?  Once you've decided, and I mean REALLY DECIDED, to make a change and become the person you know your are meant to be, you start with forgiveness.  We have to forgive ourselves for letting others distract and redirect us away from our true nature; we have to forgive them for doing it.  Take a deep breath.  Take another one.  Really forgive yourself, and 'the other guy'.  You'll know you've done it when you start to smile and relax.

Then, start acting like yourself.... say the things you really want to say, resist saying things you don't really want to say, stop being polite, start saying 'no thank you'.  Start saying 'yes' without trying to justify it.  If it feels right to say 'yes', that's all you need.  When you're saying 'yes' or 'no' from that true place inside you, it is easier to stand firm in your word as the outward expression of who you really are.  "Yes" is a complete sentence.  So is "No". Period.  Practice them.
