For every thought you think and for every action you take, you are feeding a belief, whether healthy or unhealthy. We cannot perfectly monitor everything, of course, but we also cannot abdicate knowing about the power of what we are feeding. There are so many familiar and sometimes even innocuous thoughts and actions we allow that we forget what impact they are actually having on the creation of our lives. No matter how “lightly” we are self critical in a situation, that self criticism is actually an attack. When we become aware of the erosion that creates over time, we will begin to bring those criticisms to consciousness and stop them.
Feed the things of the heart and you will heal. Grow the life you want to live in love.
