Inspiration-Why We Have to zoom in on Insecurity
In Metaphysics, it is important to know that the theory says that it is important to always stay with the reality. That is why you have to retrain your brain because now we want to stay focused on the Present moment. Keep in mind that Metaphysics also points out you cannot change the past or predict the future, like your Ego would make you believe. The Present Moment is all we have....truth be told. The Ego is always competitive and in survival mode on your behalf.
Sooo... it is important to zoom in on signals like Insecurity. When Insecurity strikes, It can feel like your chest tightens, your thoughts sharpen, and suddenly you’re measuring yourself against an invisible standard. Take one slow breath with me first—so we’re working with your whole system, not just your mind.
Inhale 4… hold 2… exhale 8…Again: inhale 4… hold 2...exhale 8… and soften your jaw.
What insecurity is often beneath the surface?
Emotion: entangled insecurity (tender, self-protective).
Possible trigger: a moment where you felt seen, evaluated, compared, excluded, rejected or uncertain about your place in Society.
Reflective insight: insecurity is often an old protector—a part of you trying to prevent rejection by scanning for what’s “wrong.”
When we look thru the theory of John Bradshaw’s lens: shame says, “I am the problem. ”But the truth is: you’re having a shame-flavored feeling.... not discovering your worth.
Eckhart Tolle’s theory lens: the “ego” compares to feel safe. It’s a survival habit. When you are aware and notice it, you begin to loosen its grip.
A quick practice to soothe insecurity (3 minutes)
1) Hand-to-heart validation (45 seconds)
Hand on chest. Feel warmth. Say slowly (even silently):
- “Of course, I feel insecure right now.”
- “This is a human feeling.”
- “I can be with this feeling without believing everything it says.”
Let your exhale be long.
2) Locate it in your body (45 seconds)
Ask: Where do I feel insecurity? (throat, stomach, chest?)Put your attention there like you’re placing a warm blanket on it. Breathe into that spot with 3 slow breaths.
3) Reality-Let's check the story (60 seconds)
Insecurity usually comes with a sentence. Try:
- “The story I’m telling myself is: ____.”Then ask why?"
- “What’s one neutral alternative explanation?”
- “What would I say to a friend who felt this?”
Try Neutral alternatives that sound like:
- “I’m uncertain, not unworthy.”
- “This is new / stretched territory.”
- “I don’t have all the data.”
4) Choose an anchor statement (30 seconds)
Pick one and repeat it on each exhale:
- “I belong here even while I’m learning.”
- “I don’t need to be perfect to be loved.”
- “My worth is not up for debate.”
One small action that restores power
Insecurity shrinks when you do one value-aligned thing:
- Send the message you’re avoiding (simple, kind, direct)
- Do a 5-minute / shower / walk
- Write down 3 true strengths (no arguing—just listing)
Gentle questions to ask yourself (you can answer in one line)
When does the insecurity hit me the hardest today?
- relationships/ social, work / performance, body / appearance, or general self-worth?
Closing Blessing...
May you always remember—just like the ocean doesn’t ask permission to be vast—your inner worth is the same..... innate, steady, and untouched by societal conditioning.
