Releasing Insecure Energy
Insecure energy is a powerful current of emotion that is rooted in prior negative experiences. It can attack more than one area of our lives, thus it appears in many different forms. You can be insecure about your appearance, your intellectual capabilities, your financial status, your material possessions, your feelings, your thoughts, etc. Many people have insecure energy running through their beings. This is normal. It can be in various areas of their lives, yet it’s at a functional level – meaning it’s not excessive, controlling to the point that it’s negatively interfering in their life-experiences. But then there are those who are controlled by their insecurities. These individuals alter their natural way of being to match the behavior that insecure energy manifests. Insecure energy is born out of intimate experiences that include a lack of emotional nurturing, criticism, disregard/neglect, intimidation and discouragement. For some, the insecure energy remains but for a while, simply departing when they lose weight, graduate, get the promotion, or some other ‘monumental activity’ that can serve as self-validation. For others, it builds in power and in control; it becomes who they are.
‘Happy’ and fulfilled individuals can have insecurities; yet an ‘insecure person’ is simply the embodiment of insecure energy.
How to release insecure energy:
1) Decide to do so. An ‘insecure person’ doesn’t become a ‘secure person’ simply by the passing of time. While one’s level of insecurity may wane, the energy itself can exist as long as they live, and manifest itself in different ways.
2) Believe in yourself. Making a decision is always the first step in any endeavor; committing to the decision is the second. Simply believe that you can release the insecure energy that your body harbors.
3) Accept compliments, even when you don’t agree with them. Acknowledge that the opinions of another are theirs to do with what they shall (in this case they shared them with you) and accept that their opinions are valid.
4) Venture outside of your ‘comfort zone’. You must dare to venture in order to build self-confidence. The more you conquer the unknown the less there is to be a mystery. There is security in knowledge and wisdom.
5) Counter each act of self-sabotage with this simple question, “But why?” When insecure energy takes over, your thoughts have ‘voices’. Your insecure energy will yell right before you attempt a feat “You can’t do that!” and you must simply, peacefully respond, “But why?” Insecure energy cannot engage in an ‘argument’ or challenge – it cannot sustain itself for long periods of time. Therefore, as ‘it’ responds to your numerous chants of “But why?” it gives in. You are then left with no excuse only opportunity. Basically, you’ve talked yourself out of talking yourself out of doing something.
6) Be rational and patient with your progress. Your insecure energy will surface; it’s not going to disappear just because you made the decision to release it. Its appearance is a noted opportunity to address it and release it. The goal is to make it disappear from your being.
7) Celebrate your victories! Every time you pass a test (you acknowledge and address insecure energy and consciously release it by changing your behavior or response) acknowledge this triumph! You are asking your mind and heart to stop being a way that it has been for how many years?
These are the steps that I have taken and am taking to release insecure energy. I’m no longer an ‘insecure person’, yet I still have insecurities. When I was an ‘insecure person’, insecure energy was woven into every fiber of my being. My reality was based in inability, fear, doubt, distrust, confusion and curiosity. I now am able to acknowledge moments when I’m feeling insecure energy and address it to release it.
Trial-by-trial, we grow.
Moment-by-moment, we heal.
Namaste…
