16 Steps to Self-discovery and Self-empowerment

16 Steps to Self-discovery and Self-empowerment
1.      we affirm that we have the power to take charge of our own lives and to stop being dependent on     substances or other people for our self-esteem or our security.
2.      we come to believe that our emerging self will reveal to us the healing wisdom that lives within us all when we are ready, willing and able to open ourselves up to the healing process.
3.      we make a decision to become our authentic selves and trust in the healing power of the truth.
4.      we examine our beliefs, our addictions, and our dependent behaviour in the context of living in a hierarchical, patriarchal culture.
5.      we share with another person and our emerging self all those things inside of us for which we feel shame and guilt.        www.ryedu.net
6.      we affirm and enjoy our strengths, our talents, and our creativity, striving not to hide these qualities to protect others’ egos.
7.      we become willing to let go of our shame, our guilt, and any behaviour that keeps us from loving ourselves and others.
8.      we make a list of people we have harmed and people who have harmed us, and take steps to clear out negative energy by making amends and sharing our grievances; both in respectful way.
9.      we express love and gratitude to others, and increasingly appreciated the wonder of life and the blessings we do have.
10.  we continue to trust our reality and daily affirm that we see what we see, we know what we know, and we feel what we feel.
11.  we promptly acknowledge our mistakes and make amends when appropriate, but we do not say we are sorry for things we have not done and we do not cover up, analyze, or take responsibility for the shortcomings of others.
12.  we seek out situations, jobs, and people that affirm our intelligence, perceptions, and self-worth and avoid situations or people who are hurtful, harmful, or demeaning to us.
13.  we take steps to heal our physical bodies, organize our lives, reduce our stress, and have fun.
14.  we seek to find our inward calling, and develop the will and wisdom to follow it.
15.  we accept the ups and downs of life as natural events that can be used as lessons for our growth.
16.  we grow in awareness that we are interrelated with all living things, and we contribute to restoring peace and balance on the planet.
