Self-Mastery is something that sounds ominous when considering it actually means living from your true self and, in reality, mastering the ego. It requires a series of actions that step-by-step allows you to bring forth the power of your divine presence, absent from lower vibration feelings and absent from degrading belief systems supported by negative thoughts.
Habit Patterns Keep You Stuck
Consider the fact you have, over your entire life, established habit patterns of all kinds. What this means is that you have been thinking the same way, feeling the same way, taking action in the same ways, communicating in the same way, engaged in relationships the same way, handle money in the same way, take care of your body in the same way, and on and on and on for years. In fact, much of how you’ve been living your life has been completely unconsciousness, unaware of the patterns you’ve carved creating deep groves dictating your daily way of operating. Every pattern keeps you stuck; yes…even the good ones if you do not allow yourself to expand beyond them.
You Are More Than Ego
As a human being you are destined to go far beyond the confines of your personal experiences into the realm of your true, authentic self. When you were born, you were naturally your real self. But immediately you became assimilated into the family tribe, the societal tribe which dictates the rules and regulations on the “best” way to live; at least the best way for everyone else’s benefit. I’m sorry to burst your bubble but what you have believed about yourself for most of your life, which triggers a variety of feelings, is illusionary. You are much more than your personality, intellect, creativeness and collective life experiences that have seemingly proven, to you, who you are. What you have learned to believe in is the ego’s image of who you are and, no matter what, the ego will defend to the death of your highest/best good everything which points you in the direction of bringing your spirit to the forefront. In this way the ego is the gatekeeper of your habitual patterns. But always remember, you are much greater than what you have believed or can even imagine yourself as.
Number 1 Secret to Self-Mastery
This is why moving into self-mastery is so important. When you become the master of yourself, you also become the master of your life. You elevate your vibration from places of darkness, self-abuse, depression, judgment, criticism, self-sabotage and so much more into a simple place of peace, joy, love, compassion, purity and light heartedness in all ways. Of course Divine Source supports you living fully from your authentic self and will therefore support your energy toward mastering the ego. So here’s the Number 1 Secret to Self-Mastery. Raise Your Vibration through the process of changing patterns, one at a time. It’s just that simple; here’s how:
1. Choose a pattern you desire to change.
- Example of a Pattern: if you worry about everything…your family, the job, paying bills, getting sick and everything else it would be a dark pattern that holds you hostage from being your real self.
2. Create a plan you can easily act upon to make the shift.
- When making a plan consider various ways to energetically and pragmatically break through the pattern.
- Energetically breaking through a pattern means everything from prayer and meditation to affirmation mantras.
- Pragmatically shifting patterns means everything from speaking what you desire to writing in a journal.
- Example of a Plan: Using worry as the example of your pattern here’s a plan you can devise…
- Using a small pad, write a check mark every time you worry and write what you are worrying about. Do it for 1 week to determine how many times a day you worry and what the primary subject matter is.
- Focus on the primary subject of your worry and then…
- Use guided visualization (meditation) to release the thoughts and feelings tied to the worry.
- Listen to positive motivational and inspirational topics from experts and spiritual leaders in the area of your desire (opposite your worry).
- If you are accustomed to talking about worries…STOP! Start talking about what you desire to happen instead.
- Create a simple mantra of what you desire that you can say and think to yourself as many times a day as it comes to your mind.
- Change your story about why you are worrying, need to worry and have a lot to worry about. Changing your story requires telling a new story, the story of how you no longer worry because… There is a happily ever after ending.
- Take whatever action you have personal control over that is in opposition to the subject matter you worry about.
3. Remain disciplined with each step of the plan.
- This is not as difficult as it may seem. Start with the first step of your plan and work that only until you master it. I recommend you do it every day.
- Once you’ve mastered it move on to the second step and add that to the first. Only do those two things until they are both mastered. I recommend you do them every day.
- Once you’ve mastered those steps move on to the third step adding it to the other two. Master those three steps before moving on to the next and so on. I recommend each step mastered is done a daily basis.
Establish a structure to maintain discipline.
- Do the steps that you can at the same time every day. If it’s meditation do it at the same exact time or time of day. For example: the morning before starting the day is a good time; even it means waking up 30 minutes earlier.
- Do other steps as soon as you have the thought, speak it, or feel it. Be diligent with each step. Remember this is about self-mastery one step at a time.
The Real You Emerges
Once you have mastered each step you will have mastered and completely shifted the pattern of your focus. You will then be ready to move onto the next pattern and then the next pattern and then the next pattern until you have mastered a number of patterns you desire to change. What you’ll discover after a while is that by changing a few patterns many other patterns will shift automatically. As well, because your vibration will be higher, you’ll experience an easier and more effortless life in all areas. Continuing to practice the primary secret of self-mastery by changing patterns one at a time, step-by-step-by-step, ensures the mastery over ego and the emergence of your real self in an experience of divine living.
