When we constantly reinforce a belief with mantras, sayings, or even the same repetitive prayer, over and over. I feel its just a cycle of crazy making. e.g. "I am worthy of xyz" is really saying two things: i am not worthy of it, so i have to tell myself i am worthy of xyz.
It reminds me of the part in the Bible when Jesus healed that man beside the lake / water. Jesus did not say, "keep reminding yourself your well (ie. i'm not well) and you'll get well"
he said something like "Do you want to be well?"
Man: "Yes"
Jesus: "Get up and go."
For me, it means its one and done, if you "want it with your whole heart / your whole being"
Great point! Looking for wellness shackles us to the belief that we are not well and may never be.
Thank you. Exactly.
