When we are critical of ourselves we ARE abusers. Let’s borrow benefits and tap some old abuse patterns and thinking out.
KC: Even though I’m of a “certain” age and society says I’m not fit enough or youthful-looking enough to be valued I’m open to shifting this
KC: Even though I don’t have a great deal of mobility or money to take up expensive sports---I acknowledge all the limiting messages I bought into and choose to rethink all this
KC: Even though I have this belief that I’m too old to look and feel good---I’m open to returning those beliefs to their sender and know I’m JUST RIGHT no matter what anyone says or how they treat me
EB: Who cares I’m too old
SE: It’s hopeless
UE: I have too many aches and pains
UN: All these aches and pains
CH: All these beliefs
CB: Who cares
UA: IT bothers me on some level so I must care
TH: All this anger
EB: Why can’t society appreciate me at my age and athletic ability
SE: Maybe I’d get out there and be more active
UE: Isn’t that an interesting point of view that I have to wait for society to catch up with my knowing
UN: I’m not too old---that’s just a lie I bought from them
CH: Oh, return that one to sender right now
CB: I’m fit enough to walk around the block
UA: What if I focused on feeling my connection to nature as I walked instead of the length of the walk
TH: Pretty soon I’ll be able to go on a local Sierra Club walk—just a thought
EB: My eyes still sparkle
SE: I’m pretty strong for my age
UE: Hey, I could be stronger----I just bought into the lie of how strong my body should be on some society-fitness-scale---return that to sender
UN: I’m as young as I feel energetically
CH: I can then feel good energetically
CB: I give my body permission to feel good on all levels
UA: I love you body
TH: You are amazing---I can’t wait to notice what we can accomplish from this moment
forward
Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth- ahhhh
CB: I am aging younger everyday energetically---I get to give my body permission to explore new horizons and limitless possibilities
When the limiting thoughts come back tap on the UE and say or think: “I give my body permission to reach and grow young---after all youngsters don’t place limits on themselves----I think it’s time to be 4 years old again---off to create a new standard for my age”
