Are you aware that self esteem is much more than just feeling positive about yourself? In order to truly love yourself and be content with your life, you must identify the barriers holding you back. Self doubt are those beliefs we all carry within, which cause us to feel we are less then good enough. When you begin your journey of self improvement, the first thing you need to do is let go of limiting beliefs that end up making you feel bad about yourself, so you’re able to move on to be the person you are meant to be.
Fire is an element used in many cultures, traditions and ancient beliefs in rituals to cast away the negative. Around the world today, fire is still used in an effort to alleviate fears and release our limiting beliefs. Fire rituals can be used to help you as well. You might want to put forth the effort in order to see results, but you will be very thankful that you did it. The use of a outdoor firepit for this ritual is especially useful as well.
To start, you must recognize the areas of your life you are unhappy with. This could be family issues, love, career, money, or any area you choose. Now write down what it is that is bothering you. Examples of this include “I am a failure in love”, “I am not worthy of having love.” Now that you have admitted those feelings, it is time to push them from you. Get the fire put started in your backyard. Once the fire is started, toss the paper into the fire and watch it burn away. Concentrate on releasing these feelings of negativity from your life.
Fire is the element associated with destruction as well as purification, and is a great source of illuminating beauty. Think how often we light candles to “set a mood,” how we love to sit by our fire pits to enjoy a cool evening, and that we can get in a camping mood by toasting marshmallows over an open flame. Using your fire pit to appreciate your inner strength and beauty is an easy thing. Grab a pen and a blank journal, then choose a comfortable place in front of your fire pit. As you watch the flames dance and change through their myriad colors, thing of all the unique things about yourself, no matter how minute. As you take in the meditative nature of the fire, write down all the things you like about you. Once you have that list, do not forget to glance at it once in awhile if you need to remind yourself.
