Wipe away the fog in my mind and let me see clearly the deception of the enemy. He comes only to kill and destroy. Provide me the clarity to see the lies. Give me the vision to see who I am in You. How do you see me? Help me to know your love. Let nothing but a clear vision of who I am to You and the knowledge of your love satisfy any desire. God, I need your help. I cannot stop this desire on my own. I need your strength. You promise always to be near. Do not be far from me. You are my strength; come quickly to help me (Psalm 22:19). You promise to forgive sins through Jesus. Forgive me of the things I have done, said, and thought under the spell of addiction. Forgive me of my sins that led me to stray away from Your way and go my own way. Father, pull me from this pit and place my feet on the right way, the path that leads to you (Psalm 40:1). Thank you, father, for protecting me from mortal harm. Thank you for the grace that brought me to this place, seeking you. Thank you for the healing to come.

Behind every addiction there are a bunch of unfulfilled needs. What's your need? It may be connection, meaningful career, relationships, etc. Getting into a community where people have the same problems and share experiences can be quite helpful. The realization of "I'm not struggling alone" can be quite helpful. You may try some facebook groups. Deep relaxation is a short-cut to quitting addiction. It releases pleasurable chemicals as addictions do, only they are healthy and long-lasting. My favorite method is yoga+meditation (guided preferably). I feel like my body is soaking in the good energy automatically. I don't debate with myself when it comes to compulsive behaviors. And the cravings do not show up as often. I recommend it to you. All the best!

I recovered from emotional eating and have started my own chat group for eating disorders. From the observation of myself and other people, I discover that the problem is divided into two parts: food structure and emotion. The first thing that I encourage my friends to do is to change the goal from "controlling myself" to "improving my food structure". Regular three meals. Protein, vegetables and carbs (very important, if you don't eat enough carbs, your brain will never fill full even if your stomach is exploding). If you are missing nutrients, the food craving is always going to be there no matter how much you eat. It's physical. The next part is emotional management. Any kind of addiction or compulsive behavior originates from "I'm not enough". For this part, I encourage my friends to keep notes of small improvements to get into the mindset of self-praising. They need to stop seeing themselves, their body, and food as enemy to make peace. Also, community is really important. Loneliness is the breeding ground for addiction. I recommend one facebook group and one forum to you. You'll find a lot of inspiration on them: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bingeeatingweightloss/?multi_permalinks=657470511827880 https://whatmiadidnext.discussion.community/ Wish you all the best!

Small wins today: 1. Visualization in the morning: me living in my own house, hosting my own show, having lots of friends, having a wonderful lover. 2. Positive self talk: I live in love. I spread love. 3. Praying: Prayer for Guidance from the Holy Spirit Lord, I pray you would move the Spirit more boldly in my life. I know that any sin can grieve and diminish the voice of the Spirit, and I pray against the temptation to sin. Help me crave your presence more than I crave sin. Help me grow in the fruit of the Spirit and so walk closer with Yourself. I pray for guidance from your Spirit- let your will and promises always be a meditation of my heart. In Jesus’ Name, Amen 4. Mirror work: I love you. 5. Meditation: Abundance meditation 6. Yoga mild stretching: 20 min stretching and deep breathing, 40 min more deep sleep, it works wonders! 7. Expressing love to and receiving love from others: The reading with Xiaozheng has attracted more people. They also told me that I have a talent of expression. I help them to speak up their mind. This is the sign of my calling. Step by step, I'm moving closer to my life purpose. ---- Change does not have to be extreme. Just consistent.

01 We are in a dark age. We haven’t got everything figured out. A lot of things that we believe to be true have never been questions. Be open minded. I see so many people are not happy in life, myself too. I have never questioned a lot of beliefs. I’m starting to do it now. Question everything. 02 Your mind is interpreting everything. You’re not taking the world in as raw facts. I’ve been believing everything that mind tells me. It runs from a place of fear. So my life has been a reflection of fear, limits, frustration, and lack. I can let go of the stories. The stories are there, but I don’t have to be affected by them. I’m using pre-installed apps in my mind. I don’t know how to update the apps, delete the apps, or install new apps. Apps are for the dumbest users. This needs to change. I need to write my own app, and even the system. 03 Turn yourself into a self-help project. I’m experimenting with a lot of self-help habits. This is fun. It used not to be the case. I felt self-help is grinding, hard, painful, and I need to bite my teeth to do it. Leo’s Non-Doctrine principle has freed me from the mindset. Growing myself starts to be fun and full of surprises. 04 Pursue life beyond material. Your eyes need to be on the prize. Material things are important. But if they are the end goal, life is bound to get miserable. I’m enjoying pursuing materialistic goals. But I’m aware that this is not all there is to life. They are preparing me for my life purpose. 05 Self-actualization is going to be discouraged. I don’t get discouraged by others so much as by myself. Once I overcome the self-critique, things start to flow. I expect to be discouraged by people in the future. But the world is changed by my example, not my opinions. So I need to make myself an example. Jail break my mind.

Good sleep love regularity. You may start by implementing some sleep routines. I have a set routine and I can see my sleep quality changes whether I practice it or not. It includes yoga stretching, journaling, meditation, hypnosis guidance, and deep, deep, deep breathing. Emotional problems have deep routes. But you can find some quick fix by implementing good habits. Wish you all the best!

What's so bad with making the "wrong choice"? How do you know if the choice is good or bad? The most likely result is that no matter who you choose, they'll have qualities that you like and dislike. So you'll always end up wondering "What if I chose the other one?" Sounds like marriage haha! So instead of running into this losing game, try some of Louise Hay style affirmations: "The person I choose will be perfect for my business. He or she will be a perfect match to my strength and weaknesses. The Universe knows the best for me. " Good luck!

I agree with Sean. Respect your own feelings when it comes to finding your mentors and gurus. You don't need an enlightened teacher to grow. In my culture (Chinese), there's a saying: "Among every three people, there's definitely one that can be my teacher." For me, I have a lot of mentors and gurus. Each one is supplying me with different knowledge from their own perspective. But they remain knowledge, dead on paper. They only become wisdom after I practice them in my own life. What's great about Leo is that he always stresses: "Don't trust everything I say. Question everything." Everyone's life is a unique piece of puzzle. We need to experiment all by ourselves.

For me, I used to be very shy and nervous around strangers. Then I put up a fake confidence but my mind was always wondering how other people perceived me. It caused me so much pain because the more confident I was trying to be, the more my low self-esteem was making fun of me. Now, after a long time of deliberately lonesome time, contemplation, reading, journaling of observation of myself, and also a lot Leo's videos, I feel that my personality is like water, which morphs with whatever my purpose requires it to be. It doesn't matter whether "I" am shy or not shy, confident or not confident, capable or not capable. With the eyes set on the end goal, my actions and even personality flows naturally. For practical experience, I started my own discussion group on self-love. Being a leader in a group, however small it is, naturally grows my skills in talking to strangers, handling different opinions, sharing in-depth opinions and feelings, compassion, etc. It's a byproduct of my path of self-realization. If I give myself the task of "developing social skills", I'd probably end up entangled much more deeply in the imposter syndrome. So, you can make it a deliberate practice to overcome shyness, or drop the idea and simply focus on your life purpose. Many shy people are extremely confident and commanding when it comes to their field of profession. Just try it out to see how you feel. Good luck!

Small wins today: 1. Visualization in the morning: Me full of energy, interviewing people in my own show, very centered and self-assured. 2. Positive self talk: I live in overwhelming abundance. 3. Praying: The Abundance Prayer From The Light of God that I AM. From The Love of God that I AM. From The Power of God that I AM. From The Heart of God that I AM. I Decree: I dwell in the midst of Infinite Abundance. The Abundance of God is my Infinite Source. The River of Life never stops flowing. It flows through me into lavish expression. Good comes to me through unexpected avenues and God works in a myriad of ways to bless me. I now open my mind to receive my good. Nothing is too good to be true. Nothing is too wonderful to have happen. With God as my Source, nothing amazes me. I Am not burdened by thoughts of past or future. One is gone. The other is yet to come. By the power of my belief, coupled with my purposeful fearless actions and my deep rapport with God, my future is created and my abundance made manifest. I ask and accept that I am lifted in this and every moment into Higher Truth. My mind is quiet. From this day forward I give freely and fearlessly into life and Life gives back to me with magnificent increase. Blessings come in expected and unexpected ways. God provides for me in wondrous ways. I AM indeed grateful. And I let it be so. 4. Mirror work: I love you. 5. Meditation: Marisa Peer abundance meditation 6. Yoga mild stretching: 20 min stretching, 30 min more deep sleep, it works wonders! 7. Expressing love to and receiving love from others: Xiaozheng, Chen Man and myself continued reading Nonviolent Communication. I shared my vulnerability in losing a girl who said happiness is a luxury. I felt so blessed to be healthy, alive, safe, having a stable job and income, given the opportunity to search for life purpose, having so many friends, resources and mentors, after watching tons of videos analyzing crime, murder, abuse and missing people. ---- I choose any feeling and thought I hold at the moment.

I'm sorry that you lost a friend to suicide. I admire your intention to help other people in similar situations. The idea of suicide originates from three factors: I'm in pain. I'm alone. And I see no end to it. I think that the significance of a community is for people to talk about it openly. Suicidal people believe they are the only ones who think about it. If they know how many people are struggling with doors closed, the suicidal thoughts would drop instantly. People won't be killed by suffering. People are killed by suffering alone. Another thing is that addressing too much on positivity may not help. For me, positivity was repulsive when I felt hopeless. What truly helps is negativity met with compassion, knowledge, stories, and awareness. I'd also like to share with you Teal Swan's insights on suicide: With all of such good intentions, we still can't prevent suicide by 100 percent. But it's worth the effort. Thank you for your leadership and bravery. Wish you all the best!

Leo videos have opened doors to things that I've never thought are essential in life. And this forum has helped me to cultivate in-depth thinking. With contemplation and journaling, I'm looking for my life purpose, learning to look at my life and life in general in different ways, and believing that an actualized life is possible for me.

Small wins today: 1. Visualization in the morning: Me having all my needs fulfilled, a normal and honest life, open and free. 2. Positive self talk: I live for a purpose. 3. Praying: 4. Mirror work: I love you. 5. Meditation: Morning Louise Hay meditation 6. Yoga mild stretching: I have strong resistance to going to bed early. My mind is very active before bedtime.

I shared my insights in emotional healing. New friends joining the chat group. I love the feeling of connection. Ready to enjoy making videos. ---- Love is the hard currency for abundance.

Among so many courses that I've taken, big and small, those that have deeply affected my life are when the teacher has purposefully built a community around it. The course brings knowledge. But discussion brings wisdom. I bought it in 2017 and listened to it. I remember Leo said that only 5% will actually do what he taught in the course in real life. I thought: "I could be that 5%." It turned out that it wasn't that easy. My head was filled with too many limiting beliefs. I couldn't really take it in. Part of me said: "Yes, it makes a lot of sense." Part of me said: "No, it isn't made for you." A major factor was that I didn't discover the value of this forum. I was aware of its existence but I never used it. Like what Leo has been saying, it's so easy to forget about all the teaching and get inundated in day-to-day life. So, on this point, you're at a good start coz you're on this forum before you get into the course! I'm getting into the course again. This time, I'll take it as an actual guide to my life. I hope it works wonder in your life too!

Small wins today: 1. Visualization in the morning: I am so comfortable in my skin, in my body, in my clothes. 2. Positive self talk: My vision brings out my potential. 3. Praying: Lord, I praise you for inviting me into your eternal purpose. I thank you that you are working out everything in conformity with the purpose of your will (Ephesians 1:11). You are the master strategist. Give me a greater vision of your purpose for my life. Awaken my heart and establish your reign in my life. Out of Your glorious riches strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being and give me a spirit of wisdom and revelation that I may know you better (Ephesians 3:16-17). Make me fully alive to your destiny in my life. I pray that you will give me a greater vision of who you are. I acknowledge my dependence on you and thank You that impossibilities in my life give you freedom to work. Your mighty power is shown through my weakness. Your are positioning me for your end-time harvest. You breathe your life into my impossibilities. [Name a difficulty in your life.] Help me to walk in a new level of trust in You. You have plans to prosper me and to give me hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). You promise me an abundant life (John 10:10). Help me to understand Your supremacy, Your sovereignty, and Your glory. Help me to align with You and make Your presence the central theme of my life. "The Lord reigns, he is robed in majesty—Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea—the LORD on high is mighty" (Psalm 93:1-4). In Jesus name, amen. 4. Mirror work: I love you. 5. Meditation: Louise Hay--You can do anything 6. Yoga mild stretching: 5 min stretching before bedtime. 7. Expressing love to and receiving love from others: I had new people joining the normal eating group. I shared my opinion on fasting and dieting. I encouraged girls to treat each meal seriously and stop being sold on marketing ideas. ---- When you notice the spiraling out into thought occurring, bring attention back to seeing, hearing, breathing and feeling.

I was hit by a strong wave of emotion of worthlessness yesterday morning. Thanks to the self-awareness practice, I knew that I must prevent myself from sinking it. It was hard, because I felt so powerless, not able to even stand up. The abusive words and painful memories came flooding in my mind. I couldn’t find any strength. So I turned on Louise Hay’s videos and collapsed on the table, listening to her. I’ve listened to her words many times. But when I’m this vulnerable, her words sound even more healing. Pain is just thoughts, and we can change our thoughts. I said to myself: “This is a good opportunity to love myself back.” “No matter what your problem is, whether it’s weight, marriage, relationships, money, healthy, it’s all originated from the lack of self love.” I did not believe it. But now I do. In a mental picture, I saw myself hung by a thread. Beneath me is a sea of suffering. That thread is love. If I cut down my practice in self love, I’m closer to suffering inch by inch. It’s so simple. Just say “I love you” as often as possible. Yet it’s so hard. My ego laughs at this simple method. At night, I did some yoga stretching while listening to self-love meditation. For the first time, I had a realization: I don’t have to understand or believe in these words. If I’m relaxed enough, my cells absorb these words like a sponge. I left the meditation on, almost inaudible, throughout the night. I felt a lot more energized this morning. From today on, “I love you” is my new mantra. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBOijSpYvcA

Small wins today: 1. Visualization in the morning: I am a center of energy vibrating love. 2. Positive self talk: Love cleanses. 3. Praying: Father God, I pray that you help me to always remember that You are the creator and author of life. You knew me long before I was born or even conceived. You wrote the story of my life before I was living in it and you set out a purpose and a plan for me long ago. Lord, help me to accept the person that you made me to be, blessings, difficulties, and all. Help me to recognize the plans and purpose for my life and to know there is no purpose too big or too small in this world, as you are the one who gave it to me. Lord, help me to walk a path of obedience on this journey of a purpose-filled life. Open my eyes, my ears and my heart to what you are calling me to do in this world. Encourage and guide me, strengthen my commitment and resolve to go forth each day and live the life you created and set out for me. In doing so, I know that not only will I find myself abundantly blessed, but I will be glorifying you. Father God, thank you for knowing me, loving me, and having a plan for me before you formed me in the womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. May my works and faith glorify you and encourage others to live their lives in beautiful acceptance of who they were created to be and what they were created to do. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen. 4. Mirror work: I love you. 5. Meditation: Yang Dingyi Meditation 6. Yoga mild stretching: 30 min stretching while soaking in loving words. 7. Expressing love to and receiving love from others: I continued the reading of Non-violence Communication with a friend. We exchanged gratitude and love with each other. I listened to a lot of Louise Hay's words and they were truly soothing. I must continue to practice self-love. ---- Love is the Force.

Small wins today: 1. Visualization in the morning: Love is a ball of clean energy that cleanses my thoughts and my body. 2. Positive self talk: Love heals. 3. Praying: I know that The Universe is the one and only source of my being. Spirit Itself created me. Life Itself lives through me. Love Itself sustains me. I am important and connected part of this spiritual universe. If The Universe loves me enough to create me and to give me life, then I can love and respect myself no less. Therefore, I no longer believe in unworthiness, limitation, and shame. I no longer believe that I am undeserving of the best life has to offer. I deserve and accept all the good things in life – for myself and everyone else in my world. I ACCEPT my own beauty, and I see it reflected in the world around me. I ACCEPT my own power, and I use it wisely. I ACCEPT my own worth, and I live abundantly. I ACCEPT my own love, and I share it freely. I ACCEPT my own potential, and I live it fully. My past, my false beliefs, and my feeling of unworthiness no longer limit me. I accept full responsibility for my life, my thoughts, my feelings and my actions. I may not always like what I do or how I feel, but I choose always to love myself in the meantime. Never again will I judge myself as undeserving. Growing and evolving feels good. Accepting responsibility feels good. Giving myself permission to become the person I was meant to be feels good. And I deserve to feel good about myself and my life. And so it is. 4. Mirror work: I love you. 5. Meditation: Louise Hay’s Morning Meditation 6. Yoga mild stretching: I didn't do it before bedtime last night. 7. Expressing love to and receiving love from others: I joined a live book reading session with a friend of Non-violence Communication. We exchanged our thoughts and experiences of being hurt, hurting other people unconsciously, and how to fix this pattern. I really enjoy this deep connection through reading. I expressed my gratitude and also received her compliment for my keen observation of my family pattern. ---- If we approve ourselves exactly as we are, everything in our lives flows.

The encounter with your wife is serendipity! I did this meditation this morning and it has helped to visualize how I can use the universe energy. This body and mind is like a high-intelligent robot that fulfills the purpose from God. My current projection is a lean and strong body. I focus my energy on it, manifest it, and then move on to the next creation. It makes life a fun game to play!

Wonderful observation I had a similar feeling last night before bedtime that if I can't accept all at this moment, there's going to be black holes here and there sucking in energy and attracting energy consuming things and people. A peaceful mind is not "I don't have enough so that I must work hard to get enough." It's "It's always enough. Abundance grows from enoughness."

This is such a good question. We are connected. So raising consciousness is not just for the good of an individual but for the good of others too. I often have the feeling that if it's just for myself, I easily slip back into my old pattern. But if I'm in a community, such as this forum and other communities of my own, I feel a lot more fulfilling when I share my progress, my growth, and see other people grow. There's no longer a question of "should I be good?" I just be. It's a wonderful flow to ride.

Small wins today: 1. Visualization in the morning: A lean and strong body. Focus and channel the energy. 2. Positive self talk: Lean and Strong. 3. Praying: Loving Lord, I thank You for my life and give You grateful praise for Your great goodness and abundant mercy, which is new every morning. Thank You, that You are a gracious and faithful Father, even during those times when I stray far from You or when I allow the anxieties of life to steal away my peace and rob me of my joy in the Lord. I pray that Your perfect peace would guard my heart and that You would provide me with a quiet focus and calm tranquillity within my soul. Guard my mind and guide my thoughts I pray, and prevent me from worrying about what may or may not happen, instead of keeping the eyes of my heart focussed upon Jesus and my ears ever open to His leading and guidance. Give me strength to face all the eventualities of life in the sure knowledge, that Your grace is sufficient for all my needs. Help me to keep my eyes looking to Jesus in a calm and quiet confidence, knowing that He is the author and finisher of my faith. This I ask in His precious name, Amen. 4. Mirror work: The universe is providing me with all the resources to fulfill my purpose. 5. Meditation: Guided Meditation for Energy and Success with Nayaswami Jyotish 6. Yoga mild stretching: 5 min stretching. 7. Expressing love to and receiving love from others: I answered a question about judgment from a friend. I gave my personal example. I encouraged a friend to start leading the reading of Non-violent Communication. I shared my new insights on gratitude. Growing in a group, growing with others, always solicits the best resources. ---- Be okay. Just be okay.
