Irrational behavior stems from being out of alignment with one’s own value system. Living in integrity is one of the most import things you can do to bring clarity, balance, and abundance. This generates a greater path to relating or communicating openness to tolerance, knowledge, understanding, honor, and love into your life.
To help understand why you might be expressing irrational behavior ask yourself the following questions:
1. What labels are attached to me (warranted/unwarranted)? Do I represent them (positive/negative) in manner. Are they true? What does the world see when it looks at me? This labeling of one’s self is comprised of several elements, sub-elements, or parts. They include behavior, your public self (what I show others), and your private self. This is a core part of our belief system about ourselves.
2. What is the real me, the core of who I am (not the presentation of me). This would be the self, spirit part of you. Your inner being.
3. What values drive my behavior? This is about how and why I do the things I do.
Once you write out your answers to the above questions notice what negative emotional charge comes from any of them. Negative charges are what cause us to behave in sometimes the most irrational ways. By understanding labels that we try to live each day with we start to understand just how powerful a belief in ourselves – warranted or unwarranted drives our own behavior and expectations that are not our own. By removing these negative charges you start to re-align yourself with the true you and live in integrity and balance.
There are 8 applications to empower, honor, and value yourself and others. Over the next 8 weeks we will be exploring them. You will need a little courage on your part to create a more fulfilled life by working through all eight applications. Once you do, you will wonder why you lived so long in feeling sad, depressed, anxious, or showing unwarranted irrational behavior.
