Session 2: Developing a Higher Belief System about ME (My Energy)

From Workbook on Healing the Inner Child/Self (Original printing 1997)

I reserve the right to change number of questions week to week as guided by my inner spirit! O! Don’t forget to keep all your writings in one notebook.  I find it is good to check back 6 months or a year later and see how you have progressed.

3. Being as honest as I can with myself, my personal relationship with ME (My Energy) is:
4. If I begin fulfilling the relationship with myself positively that I truly want, I would be motivated to begin/complete the following goals (list the ones that have always been in your mind every time you remember one-do not fabricate just to look “good” to YOU (yes, some folks will lie to themselves):

Next time more questions about tightening the bond between you and yourself!
