Lesson 12 QUIZ Answers

Submodule 12

The answers to the first three Quiz questions

1. How can contemplation on your cosmic being and death help in the development or restoration of your Sense of Self?

“Once I fully realize that my life is finite, I will wake up to the tragedy that being addicted to approval really is: giving my power away in the one life I have.”

After all, we are all in the same boat. Why should someone else’s opinion dominate my life? We are all equal and entitled to our existence simply because we are here.

You can go as far as you like in your reflections. Whichever direction you choose will assist you in restoring your Sense of Self.

2. Why is it so important to have a healthy degree of self-love?

Self-love is the key to well-being and even service to others, and to the world. If you don’t have enough self-love, you will always be frustrated on a deeper level. This in turn translates into the need to fill in that missing link by getting approval from others. By now you understand that this causes unhealthy (Indirect) motivation and far fetching negative consequences.

3. What tools do you have available now to increase your self-love and make it healthy?

• By making a photo collage of yourself and process the emotions about what all happened to you and how special it actually is that you are what you are right now.
• Repeat affirmations. You can make them yourself and tailor them to your own situation, and a lot of literature on this topic by other authors is available as well.
• Learn to speak up and express your own opinion. The Guided Journal to a Healthy Sense of Self is there to help you test and form your own opinion on important topics (insert LINK to Diary).
• Understanding that your own SELF is the only anchor in your existence; everything else is constantly changing. Make your anchor strong!
• Recognize that there is no end to working on personal growth. The more you grow, the better you can give your children what it takes to express and love their own person. In this way, you also help to improve the world. That’s beautiful!
• Be aware that perfection is an illusion. Everything that happens in our lives can be seen as a mirror showing us what we need to work on.
• Incarnation consciousness will make you appreciate your temporary existence even more. Nothing is permanent; everything comes and goes. Try to think something like, “I’m sitting here looking at myself in the mirror right NOW. I’m not perfect, but I’m here! That’s pretty cool, actually!”
