If you experienced traumatic events as a child, it can influence the choices you make in life and the relationships you get into.


The photo shows a young woman with a ponytail, wearing a white shirt and wristband, sitting with her head resting on her hand in a thoughtful or stressed pose.

Our mind is wired and super coded to go back to what is familiar to us!


But so many times, what is familiar is not necessarily good for so many of you.

 

For instance, if you lived in a family where there were always arguments. Then you get attracted by people who will remind you of what you had in your past because it’s familiar.

 

How can you change your beliefs and rewire your mind after trauma?


By going back to the events that affected you and changing the Meaning that you attached to that event, you replace it with a new Healthy Belief, and from there starts the change and rewires your mind.


Change can happen in a few ways.

 

Immediate, Cumulative, or Retroactively, you look back and you notice how much you’ve changed for the better.

 

If you’ve been abused as a child or emotionally abused.

 

You must work on your wounds, change the meaning that you attached to what happened. Work on your self-concept, on your feeling worthy again.


Understand that what happened to you is not who you are.


You are not defined by the past, this is not who you are.


You are the amazing person who is inside of you inside of your heart


You make your beliefs, and your beliefs make you!


You must work on your self-love, Self-forgiveness, and self-esteem.

 

Why is it so important to love yourself?


The reason why it's so important to love yourself is because when you love yourself, you make better decisions, you don’t allow people to treat you badly because you love yourself.


You are loved in your Relationship the way you love yourself.

 

Why do you need to increase your self-esteem?


Because when you have high self-esteem, you attract many opportunities.


People are respecting you. Self-esteem is what you think about yourself and how you see yourself.


You attract people who see your value. You attract the Kind of partner you want because you know your worth.


You will be able to Manifest more Opportunities, whether it's a New Job, Career, More money, or Better Health.


You will manifest a Partner who sees your worth, supports you, respects you, and loves you.

 

Why do you need to forgive yourself and others who have hurt you


If you have made mistakes in the past, it’s best to forgive yourself and forgive other people that hurt you.


That doesn’t mean you have to receive them back in your life if they hurt you. No, you do it for yourself because you don’t want to pollute your future anymore.


When you keep resentment, you will not be able to manifest anything you want.


Understand that people in our lives are only messagers that are showing you who you are inside and the wounds you need to heal.
