Nemesis Negative Mantra

Our biggest arch-enemy, our greatest downfall, our highest mountain to climb and the nemesis each of us has to overcome is our own negative mantra. The words we say about ourselves either shape and form us, or they keep us conformed to a specific, and generally limited, mind set of who we are and who we can become.

There is nothing worse than speaking badly about ourselves, even in the smallest ways. Those little jabs, those simple and seemingly meaningless little details about the things we judge against ourselves, those are like little drops of poison that we drink and suffer convulsions from, like pouring tar all over our aura, and stop all our energy from flowing.

It's a process to stop:
- First you have to become aware that you are doing it.
- Then you have to start correcting yourself. If you say something negative,
correct it immediately.
- After that you start trying to catch yourself as you begin, and stop yourself
before you get into it.
- Then you start catching your thought processes that underscore any kind of
negative mantras and stop them in the same way - first by counteracting them
with positive mantras about yourself, and then by catching yourself before
you even start.
- And all the while you feed yourself positive mantras about yourself.

We think we are being deprecating and humble by making ourselves smaller, but the Nemesis of negative mantra only serves to collapse your life energy. If you need a nemesis, choose it to be the act of catching yourself before putting yourself down, and shape shifting it before it even has a chance to materialize.

It comes down to this: who are we to question, debilitate, and destroy, through our own negativity, such a precious and perfect gift as God has made. "If God could have made anything better than you, He would have."

Blessings.
