  Choose one of your more challenging beliefs that you discovered in the first section, such as, what are you avoiding? And start the journaling exercise with, What I am avoiding is......try not to think about it too much just let the pen meet the paper and time yourself for 2 minutes and see what comes up.

Each day do one more........Use a different prompt each day. Here are some to get you started.

What I am craving is...........

What I do not want to accept is..................because that will mean

What I appreciate about my myself is..............

I notice where I struggle is.................

What I understand about how my mother felt when I was little was............

What I understand about how my father felt when I was little was...............

What I now understand about myself is................

Dear little me what I want you to know is..............

Thank yourself at this point for all the work you have done so far. What can you do this week to honor that? Perhaps book a massage?

What you can do after you use this tapping video is to place your attention on a feeling you have (like when you feel anxious) when doing the tapping to make it even more impactful.

I encourage you to do as many tapping rounds as possible. Daily is great! Also you can go to https://loveselfmastery.com/eft-tapping to learn just how powerful this process is.

Let me give you an example: When I did this exercise, as I said in the video, one of my brothers came to mind. From my experience he has always been a bully to me ever since I was little. This is my example and experience so you can follow the exercise when you do it.

Exercise: What could I take responsibility for?

I noticed I had spoken ill of him in my adult life. Why I did this was because I realized what I wanted was actually his approval and I could never get it, it angered me, frustrated me that he didn't like me. I could not control him giving it to me. So heres the powerful process that changed my life around this and where I could feel complete.

Exercise: Make the call.

I phoned him, and we hadn't spoken for a few years. I told him I was at a conference and was doing this process and felt that he had bullied me a lot right from when I was little and because of that I had spoken ill of him, and what I actually had been wanting from him all along was his approval. (That is what I could take responsibility for, my why for running him down). I apologized for thinking bad about him and running him down and asked for his forgiveness.

The response:

He was rude and said he didn't want to hear it. Surprisingly I felt liberated because I had the courage to speak my truth and take 100% responsibility for how I felt and by doing so this made me feel so free and complete. I also realized that this was who he was because of his suffering and there was nothing I could say or do that would change him or how he felt or behaved and it had nothing to do with me.

I could take responsibility for my part and if he didn't wouldn't or could not, then that was his business because of whatever his suffering was.

You see we give our power away when we can't control someone or something to go our way. What we can control however is making the call to someone who you have inner conflict with and apologize for your part and ask for forgiveness without any expectation and let it go, this will set you free.

You have nothing to be afraid of and nothing to lose.

Step One: Think of someone who you have conflict with that when you think of them it makes you angry.

Step Two: Consider why it makes you angry?

Step three: Make the call, own your part and apologize and ask for their forgiveness.

Be the bigger person to set yourself free and you may just experience a miracle.

The Unmet need of your inner child can feel like abandonment.

Take your time in this exercise as there are many parts to it.

Step One:

Reflect on how often you felt emotionally abandon as a child. This isn't a blame game remember our parents could only parent us as much as they were aware to do so. This exercise will offer you the ability to see where you have modeled this behavior.

Exercise: If you journal this prompt, I notice I abandon myself when.............

You may discover that when you judge yourself for being bad, who taught you that? And would you treat a child like that? Would you shame or scold a child? Would you abandon a child in need?

Now Journal before step two.

Step Two:
When you have felt alone or fatigued are these the times you feel the most vulnerable and fears or worrying or stress comes up?
What is your main stressor?

What's the truth, and feel it.

Where do you feel it in your body.

Step Three:
If a friend or child was stressed and in pain emotionally what would you say to them?
What we want to do here is recognize what is your inner child afraid of, what do you need, write it down from her/his perspective?

Is it reassurance, comfort or love they need?

Journal: My inner child needs....

Step four:

Come home to yourself right here right now is the practice by making this pledge.
Place your hand on your heart and say, I promise myself to meet my emotional needs. I pledge to myself that I will slow down when I feel uncomfortable and recognize I am stressed I pledge to never abandon myself again, I pledge to be here for myself, be understanding and listen to myself and come home to me. I am safe.

Perhaps write it on your bathroom mirror.

Keep going your almost there!

Here is the recommended daily practice: Use these suggestions to design a new practice every month.

Here is the recommended daily practice:

1. Journal for 2 minutes using this prompt: Today I have a choice.......
Using this prompt for 30 days will change your motivation levels and keep you on track. Once you have achieved this, mix it up a little using different prompts such as...
Today is going to be good because...
What I enjoy about my life is.......
I am safe because.....
Dear Little me.......
This way you learn to re-parent yourself, journaling is the best way.

2. Learn to stop and take a scared pause, even set your cellphone alarm to it around lunchtime and take 10 conscious breaths. Bringing your attention to the breath.

3. In the evening make yourself a beautiful meal just like you would for someone special. Or buy yourself something healthy.

4. Buy yourself some flowers this month or pick wild flowers if you can. Give yourself this loving gift.

5. Learn to meditate every evening, either use an App, or U tube has many versions. I encourage you to find one that is a guided meditation.
Topics such as, Letting go, Loving Kindness, Self Love, or a Body Scan. Once you explore a different one every night you will sleep like a baby and lift your frequency at the same time.

6. Have 528 Hertz music on U tube playing in the back ground while you work or do housework, this will lift the vibration in your home. Google info about it.

7. Write your pledge in your own words on your bathroom mirror, or in your bedroom on a piece of paper that greets you when you wake.

8. When ever you feel stressed place your heart on your heart, this will automatically anchor your pledge.

9. Take your shoes off and place your feet on the grass for 10 minutes, this will earth you and release negative energy because grass is 528 hertz the frequency of love.

10. Allow yourself to feel, especially around the full moon as this offers the intensity of this practice. Notice on the next full moon. Remember full moons offer liberation and there is a reason why emotions come up at this time, they come up to be healed so this is a great time to purge. I notice most people get really distressed when they don't know if they are going to be okay in the future, that seems to be the big one! So what I recommend it to not focus on will I be okay thinking about your whole life, its a big little word LIFE, just focus on knowing you are okay and safe right here right now.

Focus on, what would I like my life to look like in the next 12 months and that way its more of a bite size thought, not an overwhelming wanting to give up, I can't cope thought. And once you know what you want your life to look like in the next 12 months, start envisioning it, even journal, get the frequency going, feel the energy. And if you need support, reach out, because everyone deserves to feel empowered.

Loving you, Mary-Anne ❤️
