For me, honey, the more I recognize and let go, the easier it gets. If you are just starting out on this journey to letting go of "I am worthless" and being "I am bold, beautiful and free" there are going to be times where it still seems to get the best of you. It takes a lot of practice to not just hear that old thought and accept it as fact.

Practice listening to the thoughts swirling in your head and stepping back mentally for a moment. When those feelings come up for you listen to them as if one of your kids were talking to you when they were very young. Does that change the way you look at them?

I want to encourage you that it gets much easier as you keep working at it. There have been times I felt that my transformation "didn't take" and I was doomed. But guess what, that was "I am nothing" talking and it's a lie. I am freedom and light. And when the pain comes back, I start to ask myself, what would someone who is free and light do? How would she think about herself, how would she treat the people around her, who would she BE? Then I be it.

You can do this. You are lovely and powerful and full of life. Everything you need is there for the taking. Grab hold of it!
