There is a lot written about letting go of your ego, diminishing the ego, or shifting limiting beliefs. The ego is our thoughts, the inner child, as well as our limiting beliefs. It’s very true that for us to live more authentically, we will have to let go of our ego and shift our negative limited beliefs.
The work we do through my individual retreats is all about letting go of your Ego, shifting your limiting beliefs, and creating new ways of thinking.
When we are stuck in the chatter of our thoughts, which is the old beliefs we created as a child through our wounds, we will usually react and take the action that our thoughts/inner child tells us to do.
Imagine that you have a 5-year-old running your life. She is making all of your important decisions. Your boss at work gives you an assignment and says, “I hope you can do this in a timely and effective manner.” This comment triggers your little girl, and if she reacts she might say, “What is that supposed to mean? Of course I will be effective. Don’t I always get my projects done on time?” After the conversation is over, she continues to stir about it making up all these stories about how her boss doesn’t like her: how he might be thinking about firing her and that she might want to look for another job. It doesn’t stop there. She goes to another co-worker and begins to tell them what happened and how she might get fired. She creates quite a mess.
That is what our inner child does in our life if we allow her to be in the driver’s seat. Think of a 5-year-old driving a vehicle. It isn’t pretty, is it? Well, it’s not pretty having a child run your life either.
We have to force our child within to grow up.
This is not an easy job because she has been running the show for quite a while.
In my intensive individual retreats, you will learn what your ego/little girl is saying when she is triggered, how she feels about it, what action she wants to take, and how to STOP her dead in her tracks. When we stop buying into what she believes, we will finally begin to shift our old limiting beliefs and start creating a more authentic, peaceful life full of love not fear.
People who have come to my individual retreats say that they have a complete shift in perspective: that the way they view their life is totally different and they say the change is sustainable.
Here is what one of my clients have said:
“Dearest Debra,
There aren’t enough words to express the impact your retreat had on me and my future. I came to you in a very dark, lonely place and within 3 days together, I feel like a new person. My emotional and physical pain is gone and you have given me the tools to maintain this positive sense of self. Debra you are the real deal!
Thank you for your wisdom, guidance and beautiful spirit. Blessings always, Cheryl”
