Step 1 – Befriending your feelings: Go into your feelings of insecurity. Befriend them, embrace them, give your feelings of insecurity a hug like they are an old friend you know well and feel completely comfortable with, someone you love spending time with. Talk to your feelings of insecurity either internally or out loud. You can even write them down if you would like, and say

“Oh there you are insecurity, it is okay that you are here, that I feel you. It makes a lot of sense why you are making yourself so noticeable. I understand why I would feel this way. Unfortunately my insecurity is keeping me from showing up in my full potential, from loving myself completely, or from being my authentic self. I understand I feel insecure. Thank you for making yourself known, so I can embrace my insecurity and learn and grow from it. I will love myself through my insecurities with deep kindness, warmth, love, and compassion.”

Sit with your feelings in true understanding and love. And if the feeling of insecurity needs more room because there is too much pressure, give the insecurity free space to extend in order to release the intensity. You can give it space within you, outside of you, and as far as it needs to go. Stay with this first step till you start to feel calmer and more comfortable. As a reminder make sure you only show kindness and compassion for your insecurity and yourself. It is important to embrace all of you. Stay with this step until you truly have embraced yourself through your insecurity. When you feel ready, go to step 2.

Step 2 – Release: This step is simple. All you have to do is repeat one sentence over and over again till you actually feel the insecurity leaving your body. This is what you say internally or out loud as many times you need to:

“I clear and release my insecurity about (name what you are specifically insecure about). Or a more specific sentence: I clear my insecurity about (name the specific thing you are insecure about) from within me and around me” Say it over and over again with the intention of letting your insecurity go, and until you feel it is leaving. When you spend some time on releasing your insecurity, and you feel it is actually leaving, you can go to step 3.

Step 3 – Choosing:  In this step you explore possibilities, positive choices, changing your insecurity with baby steps to positive plan of action, or if all else fails find a positive distraction. It is important for this step to be positive to train your brain to transform negative feelings and thoughts into positive ways of thinking, feelings, and solutions.
