Do you know that our mind doesn’t care what we put into it? In fact it doesn’t judge and it will grow whatever we place in there. Sounds magical and wonderful until you realize you haven’t been planting nutritious carrots; this whole time you have been planting poisonous hemlocks!
Those two plants look very similar, the only difference is carrots have hairy stems and stalks. In other words, carrots don’t shave. Since carrots and hemlocks belong to the same family, it’s very easy to mistake one for the other. It’s like when we mistake other people’s opinion of us as the actuality of who we are.. We start to believe those words and we become what they said we are.
With the positive self affirmation movement, we collectively are creating a more welcoming social community. We start to uplift each other. The negative words we have been told by others slowly lose their power over us. It’s like Riddikulus, the counter-curse in Harry Potter to defeat a Boggart.
To plant your seed, the right seed, the good seed, the kind of seed that brings you health, happiness and love. Remember it and remember it well; the shape, color, texture and the smell. Tilt your ground by shaking things loose. You can call it shaking your etch-n-sketch. Then you plant your seed. You nourish it by giving it the right soil, watering it, and making sure it gets enough sunlight. As your seed starts to grow, so does your self-worth. All this time others tell you that you aren’t worthy. You aren’t enough. Guess what? They are damn wrong!
See your seed glowing, see your heart glowing, see yourself glowing. Only you can tend to your mind, no one else. The wonderful magic is within you.
