Dying the old self
Hello to all !
I am sharing something I have been doing to distanciate myself from the old story and the old self.
The practices that work for me are SATS at night briefly, affirming and rejecting negative thoughts during the day.
But whenever I am in doubt or I feel I switched back to the old version of me who does not have it, I picture all the versions of myself that exist being all together in a dark room and gathering as a hugeeee circle. Every version of me holds a rope that is the life they are living. I too hold my own rope.
Then I would talk to them like "which one of you is still working at this job? How is it ? " some would reply and I would reply back like "wow girl, I am sorry you are still struggling at this job, I am glad I left in the rope I chose" or "wow crazy you made it work at this job, I am impressed".
Same with the partner I would ask "which one of you made it work with Max?" and lots of them would answer of course because there are multiple lives with said Max, one with kids, one without, one where its magical, one where he cheats a lot ect ect.
Finally to affirm I am in the state I am, I would tell them "well on my rope here is what is happening, remember the intern we trained at this company ? We are together now, we are having kids later" and some of my other self would reply like "what ? the intern? Never saw that coming". And we have a fun time with no judgment or me longing for another rope.
It works well for me to distanciate with the old story.
Have a good day !
