This video I'm going to be sharing with you the three dangers of your old self image that
you must know about.
These are things that once you begin to apply in your life what I'm going to suggest to
you, you're gonna.
Let go of the shackles that keep you tagged onto the old version of you so that you can
really start to be who you are meant to be.
Welcome back to another video.
My name is Aaron and I help people expand their consciousness.
Now in this video, I'm going to be sharing with you the three dangers of your old self
image and ways that your old self image will actually sabotage you towards you experiencing
what you want.
Because the thing is is our self image, the way we see ourself as a very strong indication
and a very strong influence over what we accomplish in our life and many times when you experience
any type of plateau or you feel like there's just a wall coming up in your life that you're
trying to hurdle around, that comes from a block or the sabotage of the old self image.
Now, just to give this a little bit of basis to, as I've gone through my own journey, I've
noticed that there's different levels of my self image that I've had to transcend.
I've had to let go of and in general when it comes to this kind of work we normally
think of as putting out and having to get to another level, pylon, a new idea when in
fact it's more about letting go of what doesn't serve anymore.
Now this is going to involve understanding that have a thermostat.
There's a thermostat over there on the wall and right now it's set to 78 degrees and if
I were to open up the window because I live in vegas or open up this door, it would go
from 78 up to maybe 80 to.
What would happen is the thermometer is set to a certain temperature that regulates what
the temperature of the houses and if I move that dial to 76 degrees, the AC will kick
on.
If I move it to 80 degrees, then it will kick off until the house heats up.
Now, this type of mechanism is called a cybernetic mechanism.
Now, a cybernetic mechanism means that whatever the base point is, it will do everything it
can to make sure it stays within that base point, but the moment that you move the dial
up or down is the moment that it kicks into gear and it has to do something to keep it
there.
Now, in the same way you may be intending for certain things to happen in your life,
you may be trying to attract something into your life.
You may be intending to accomplish some type of goal, but if you don't link up your self
image or you don't transcend your old self image, then you will keep continuing to create
levels of sabotage and things in your life that keep you in the safety mechanism of the
78 degrees.
You may be like, I want to turn up my life.
I want to get to the next level, but the soul old self image says, no, that's not comfortable.
That's not familiar.
Stay where you are because that is what that self image knows.
Now, the first danger of your old self image is that your old self image will do everything
it can to sabotage you and keep you where you currently are.
Now, we don't have to think of this as it's us against us and we have to create all this
resistance within, but it's about being aware of that self image and choosing to observe
it rather than react to it.
So there may be things that come up that show and that you have to in a way hurdle through
and once you heard all through it, you show that you have begun to shift, that you have
begun to change, but the old self image is afraid of new experiences.
On average, we think 60 to 70,000 thoughts a day of those over 90 percent of recycled
from the day before, and we're constantly doing the same things every day, thinking
the same thoughts every day, feeling the same emotions everyday.
Therefore creating the same things every day.
Now the key is to stretch outside of this bubble of our identity and when we stretch
outside the bubble of our identity, it takes a little bit of energy because it's so easy
to stay in the autopilot mind, so the key is to stretch outside of it.
Now, when you go to stretch outside that bubble, the self image, the old self image is going
to do everything it can to keep you safe, to keep you to survive at a certain level.
This may have been something through evolutionary pressure that has kept us as a species alive
because if we were to do something a little bit risky or dangerous, it may mean death
at a greater level.
So the key is to be aware of that self image and to observe and to a way to nurture that
self image to say, it's okay.
I see what you're doing for me.
You're actually trying to protect me.
I recognize that, but I'm going to still do this because I believe in the benefits of
it.
Early on in my journey, I would pay attention to different things that as I was changing
my beliefs about who I am as I was changing to a new state, to where the way I feel I
would start to feel this resistance kind of bubble up inside me.
It was almost like part of my self image was so addicted to the negative thinking that
I used to have to thinking into identifying with having one's called Adhd and to live
in a certain way that when I started to let it go, I started to feel almost kind of empty
and I thought that that emptiness with something to be afraid of not knowing that that emptiness
was actually a spaciousness.
If I simply let go of the negative, so something else that you may want to do to shift yourself.
Image is to let go of the definitions and the labels because those will hold you back.
Those will keep you within that metaphorical bubble of the consistent thoughts, emotions,
and actions that continue to create the same level of being over and over and over again.
Now, I've seen this many times before with people as well, people that want to change
their life and right before they're about to make a great change, they get sabotaged
and it's themselves that sabotage themselves, even though they're not aware of it, because
simply of that, of the uncertainty of what could happen almost causes us to go back in
our metaphorical shell like a turtle, and so the key to this is to be aware of this
self image into a way, in a way observe it allowed to be there and to acknowledge it.
It's almost like the ego in a way.
What you want to do is you almost want to acknowledge the ego, observe it, but you don't
necessarily want to talk down to the ego or fight it because then you create inner resistance.
This is about being aware and in that awareness is where you can actually shift it.
Now, the second danger of that, of the self image is that the self image will have you
believe that when you shift, you're going to have no one there to support you.
Now, this is a big con.
This is something that for awhile I felt because as I was changing my own self image, I went
through a spiritual awakening back in 2012.
It totally transformed my life and when it changed my life, I started to relate to people
in a new way and it became very scary because it was almost like I wanted to change or it
was just kind of naturally happening, but part of me was afraid of it because who is
going to be there afterwards because as I changed, so did the people change around me
and the way that it was almost like I wasn't resonating at the same level as I was before,
so therefore I was feeling a little bit lonely and that's one of the biggest dangers of the
old self image is that it will have you believe that it is going to be lonely, that there
was going to be no one there.
As you change and you shed your old self image, the key is to hold the frame.
When I say hold the frame, it means simply trust the process that as you change the people
that you resonate with will begin to be gravitated towards you at a deeper level so you may find
that you start to resonate with people that you never really resonated before because
as you change your core and as you shift and you let go of layers that no longer serve
you, let go of the shackles of maybe the things that were keeping you related to the old version
of you and to the friends of that old version of you.
Now it's okay to have them there and it's okay to still be friends.
The key though is being aware that it is not lonely when you shed that of the old patterns
that when you shed the old patterns, it's not like there was no one there.
I just got back from California and when I was there I met up with like four different
youtube and there were people that a couple of years ago I probably would have never talked
to simply because I was unaware and I wasn't.
That's a, that state of being or that, uh, I wasn't into the things that I'm in now and
when I met up with them was great because we were able to relate to on so many different
levels.
But you see, I had to trust the process because if I get afraid when I first started create
youtube content, a lot of people thought it was weird that I was making youtube content
or it was.
I'm like, why am I doing that?
It's never going to take off.
You know, a lot of people that I could tell doubted what I was doing and thought it was
just a hobby.
It was a waste of time.
But I held close to my vision and when I held close to my vision, not only did I observe
my ego that was in a way trying to sabotage me from believing it wasn't possible, but
also other people.
And what I had to do is I had to recognize that I can trust the process.
Because your vibe attracts your tribe.
You will attract people to you that resonate as you change.
So don't be afraid to change because as you change, you will find that you resonate with
people at a very deep level.
Maybe it's new people that come into your life, maybe it's some of the old people.
However it works.
Trust the process.
Now, the third danger of that of your self image is understanding how the self image
works with what we call the universe or what we call that of reality in general when it
comes to this process.
Now here's the thing.
Many times what will happen is as we change ourself image, we will get a reflection of
the old reality and the key is if we base our state of being on the old reality, then
what happens is it proves to us that we haven't actually changed because what happens is as
we are changing, if we are saying that our internal state of being is dependent on if
the mere changes, it's like we're looking into a mirror looking at her reflection and
saying, okay, I'll change once you change.
Now, as funny as that sounds, we know that that mirror reflection will not change until
we first changed, but the key is as many times what we do is we keep looking to the mirror,
waiting for the mirror to change, and then we would finally say, okay, now I changed,
but it never works like that.
You will continue to get an old reflection of the old self image or an older reflection
of the old reality until you respond differently to the old reality.
So what this means is you almost have to become at peace with where you are and show that
you and your internal state of being is not dependent on that of the old reality.
And as you do that, you start to transcendent because you start to not be affected by the
old vibrational energy of that reality and have that self image.
So the key is to, once again hold the frame, but to understand that there may be some challenges
that come up and it could be challenges of sabotage of the old self image.
But it could also be the old patterns and the old momentum that you've had going for
maybe 10, 20, 30 years, and as you become aware of that momentum, as those things happen,
the way that you heal it is you become aware of it in the light of awareness.
You can then choose and decide to let go of it.
Having power over you of transcending the victim mindset and to then being an empowered
state of being.
So I remember that when I started making youtube videos, for example, I made daily videos in
February 2017 at the time I had 3000 subscribers on youtube and I simply held the vision.
I held the intention and I continued to make content now after one week of making content
if I would have given up because I'm like, well, I'm not.
I don't have crazy views.
Nothing's really happened yet.
Then I wouldn't be where I am today.
But what I did is I held the frame and I.
There will be challenges that would come up.
It'd be hard for me to work 40 hours a week at my job.
Let's make videos 40 hours a week.
There'd be this little challenges that kept bubbling up, but as I became aware of them,
I observed them and as I was not dependent, I was not feeding and trying to increase my
state of being dependent on what kind of results I was getting.
As I kept in that vibrational momentum and direction.
Eventually things did change, but the key was to not wait for the mere reflection of
change, to not wait for the whole bunch of views to come in, for me to get validation,
to keep on going.
I kept going no matter what.
In the same time, many times in your own life, you may have to keep going knowing there's
an old momentum and pattern that's been going on for a long time and that what you can do
is observe that pattern and then choose to move through it, so the real power of who
you are and who you are meant to be.
It's about letting go of the old self image.
The old self image has tricks up its sleeve, but it's old.
The old self image is something you can easily transcend by becoming aware of it, and by
stretching outside of the bubble of your old self image to the habitual thoughts you think,
emotions you have and actions you take.
As you stretch outside of that and you let it be okay to be in the uncertainty, you will
start to transform your life, but the key is to not buy into the antics of it.
It is not going to be lonely as you let go of the old vibrational state of consciousness.
It's not going to be something where there's no one on the other side is just you.
There's going to be people that you resonate with at a very deep level.
If the universe throws some things at you, it's okay.
It's a part of the process.
This is about letting yourself and your internal state of being be what you focus on and as
you do that, you are not dependent on the outer reflection that you get in your life.
Everything on the outside is a reflection of the inside and as we change the inside,
the outside will naturally change.
But the key is to not be dependent on the outside, actually changing that is the paradox.
So what I'm going to do now is the link, but right below you're gonna.
See a link to the most powerful meditation I have ever done.
It is myself.
Image Meditation.
It's one that you listened to for the next 21 days.
I really believe it can absolutely change your life.
What it'll do is it'll help you shed that old self image and to reassert the way that
you prefer to be to you.
Getting to your core.
It uses NLP.
Neurolinguistic programming is the one that I get the most amount of people that reach
out to me and said, well Erin, that meditation changed my life the most.
So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to link that video right after this video and what
you can do is listen to this video for 21 days.
It's is powerful.
Now also, I'm going to be doing more live q and a's on instagram.
So I'm going to go and post instagram right here.
If you have questions for me, you want to ask me questions, I also post daily content
over there.
You'll see that as well.
Other than that, I hope you enjoyed this video.
