The Alchemy of the Soul: Chapter One

 I've been going on an awesome reading rampage. Then I thought to self, "Self, I should write post about the book I'm reading." Here we are! I figured, I don't really read much self development books, simply because I never get the urge too. Now that I've finally got to a cute little book I found in my nana's room called How To Heal Toxic Thoughts by Sandra Ingerman. This is a book about simple tools for self transformation. This just a smidge over 100 pages fills you up with so much information. 

 Since this first chapter talks about the Alchemy of the Soul, lets talk about what Alchemy is. The word Alchemy from Aramaic,
Means working within and through the dense darkness inside. To transform the energy you project in the world in to love and light that can heal yourself and others. Now, do you really think about what you think? Do or have you automatically switched to a mode which sends out negative thoughts to someone or something without really taking into consideration the damage you are doing to yourself and others? I have. Our thoughts are so powerful and we must learn to transform our energy and clean up the psychic environment. As Sandra says this is what brings magik into our lives, this is what makes us beautiful.

 Being a human being, we all have egos to make us feel separate from others. The experience from feeling separate creates emotions. We can be very judgmental others and ourselves and touch the deep nerves of self-worth and survival. Having emotions is good, we need to express our emotions as a way to let off steam. We need to learn new habits for how we react to those around us. Its like exercising a muscle you haven't used in a long time. As you build the movements become natural. We can feel like we have to defend ourselves at all times, and for this we pay a heavy price.
Sandra gives many beautiful practices to say to yourself and give yourself a breather. 

 If you would like to join me in the adventure I recommend reading this book along. This was just a brief introduction and what to expect in this book and my mini journey to learn how to focus, breath, And accept.
I will write a summary for each chapter with you guys. 

If you do not have the book and seem quite interested in it Go Here.

TFGBC: Day 6- Vulnerability Eh?

Oh Snap, Alex really got me with this one.
Well with out further a do I guess I'll get right too it!
Click picture for Artist.
"To Share Your weakness, is to make you vulnerable, to make you vulnerable is to show your strength."
I seriously waited a full day just thinking, what should I post?
Something that makes me Vulnerable?
I guess I could go right for the gut and just give the overall fun.
Golly, okay, you know this thing called Confidence?
That is who I want to be.
I've been working on that for quite some time now.
I cherish people who  have, how you say, the balls to get shit done!
For as long as I can remember my confidence got beat down.
Being obese for most of my life has been annoying really.
I now have been doing something about it for sometime and I am proud about how far I've gotten and where I'm going.

But as a kid? Where it mainly starts.
That shit struck me a bit harshly.
In school?
Not too bad overall everyone loved me.
I'm the damn sweetest person you will ever meet,
and if you lost your confidence,
 I'm there to get you back on your feet.
I never really got Bullied in school.
I mean the occasional Fat Jokes.
Don't get me wrong it stung.
 But I kinda got over it.
Where most of the good ol' emotional bullying came from was,
Oddly enough,
My dad and that side of the family.
I won't get into detail's.
And of course not every single person on that side,
But that's where all that low to no confidence level comes from.
I love my family with all my heart and I wouldn't change them for the world.
As I got older we've gotten much closer and continue to grow that.

This is where I need to build up.
I'm surrounded by the most strong and confident people and
it kinda blows my mind on how I don't build off of that.
I am making progress and I'm happy with how things are going.
I do need to make some changes still,
 but I'm not perfect, not just yet,
I try not to look in the past often, and also try not to look too much into the future,
I'm trying to stay with the present and what I need to do each day to build back my confidence.
There are day's when it's completely BLAH but who doesn't have blah day's?

Now Here's to curing my Confidentitisness!
(Yes, I made that word up)
Thank you for who have read this.
Tell me your thoughts.
This is definitely a big step for me and a way outta my comfort zone.

Much Love,Sara Litardo
