Write for Your Life Day 9 - It Is Natural For Me To Write Honestly. I have always been a very private person, and talking about myself, and my life, etc. etc. has never been something I do. So many people I've known for years could not tell you about my story. I've always been a bit like an onion, with many different layers with only very, very, very few people managing to get closer to the core.

DEFINE YOUR PERSONAL LAWS

When I started reading Write For Your Life and got to the chapters The Power of Negative Thinking and The Little Writer That Could, it became a bit uncomfortable. Doing the exercises and trying to define my Personal Law/s (e.g. the most significant negative belief/s I have about myself) was a revelation ( one was 'It is not safe to reveal myself to others). There is a process in the book that enables you to change the way you think in the conscious and unconscious mind over time, with repetition to the point where the affirmation loses its emotional charge. I loved the affirmation suggesting to let go of the negative belief. And I used it for a week in all the formats indicated in the book: It is safe to let people know who I am. The more I reveal myself to others, the safer I am. To know me is to love me. For me, the whole point was gaining the ability to be vulnerable. Boy, that was hard. I managed it, though, and I can safely say that it is now getting natural for me to write 'honestly'. Which for me means e.g. opening up whilst finding pleasure in it too. I genuinely hope you enjoy the outpouring of my consciousness. Write for Your Life Day 9 done :-).
