 souls instead of repeating them. It's about moving forward instead of stagnating with outdated practices of abuse. It's about no longer projecting our insecurities upon others and owning them while finding ways to heal the past and especially the inner child who still wants to simply love and play. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening wherever you may be across the planet and around the world. My name is Greg Prescott from in5d.com and in5d.net and today's topic is how to stop giving your power away. This list isn't all-inclusive but it'll give you a really good starting point to begin this part of your journey. And so without any further ado, let's begin. Number one, emotional intelligence. Take responsibility for emotions with self-regulation practices. Don't let an emotional reaction to a situation become you. Pause. Welcome it as a teacher to help you respond. Don't see the emotion as an enemy that causes you to react, drain your energy, or give your power away. Okay so here's an example of how this would play out. Let's say someone ridicules you by calling you stupid or ugly. Words can be very hurtful but it's important to understand why those words were spoken. In psychology when someone ridicules another it's usually that which they fear within themselves. So if someone calls you stupid or ugly then chances are that is their biggest fear and what they're doing is they're projecting their insecurities onto someone else. The words are still going to hurt but at least you get an understanding of how emotionally damaged that person is. Personally I would call that person out and tell them exactly what I just said. It's time to take back your power and by doing so you might actually help the person who did the initial harm.

As you can see we have a lot of new styles and patterns so check it out at N5D.net. Moving forward. Number two embody your values. Everybody has different values perceptions and thoughts about life. There is no one right way or right path. You're not for everyone and that's okay. Identify the things that are most important to you and live accordingly and let others do the same. We don't want to force our reality on anyone so an example of this would be getting jabbed and this situation has happened to my family. My parents are fully jabbed and boosted despite my sister and I begging them not to do it and it didn't matter what we said. Our parents bought into the propaganda and despite there being no longitudinal studies on the efficacy of the jab my parents volunteered to be guinea pigs for an experimental jab with zero longitudinal studies. My parents are both college educated. My dad has a BA and my mom has two master's degrees in culinary arts but having a college degree doesn't have anything to do with common sense. It almost seems that the more educated you are the more brainwashed you become. Of course there are exceptions to the rule. I have a master's degree in human services and I don't buy into the bullshit but how do you talk to your college educated parents about something that could potentially harm them without insulting their intelligence? For my sister and me it didn't matter. This is what it means when they say you can't force your reality on someone else. This is the path my parents chose. Conversely my mother can't understand why I don't trust the alleged science behind the jab. To me it can't be any more obvious there are zero longitudinal studies on these jabs and I'm not going to be a guinea pig when I have a perfectly good immune system. In the end we ended up agreeing to disagree. I love my parents but some fights aren't worth the battle especially if it ends with never speaking to one another over a disagreement. The bottom line is that everyone has their own paths to follow and for the most part we all end up in the same place. Pick and choose your battles because some battles aren't worth fighting. Number three discernment. Ask yourself before you invest energy into an interaction, comment, or judgment from another if it's worth your time and energy. How important is this relationship to you? Is the person able to hold space for other perspectives? Stop trying to prove people wrong. This will drain you. This premise can be frustrating when you know certain truths that others don't understand and it may not even be truths. It might be a flawed belief system. I learned this lesson over the whole Nisara-Jisara debate despite literally proving the origin of its existence in the 1970s and how Shaney Candice Goodwin used it as a ploy to extort money from unsuspecting victims by making the same outrageous promises as Nisara-Jisara is making today and how nothing has come out of it since. People still cling on to the lies that it promised nearly 50 years later. For me this isn't a battle worth fighting anymore but you're going to believe what you want to believe. Who knows? Maybe enough positive thoughts can bring something like this into fruition.

What limiting beliefs are causing you to seek or depend on others approval? Your self-image was mainly formed between the ages of 1 to 7 years old. Take your power back with digging deep on what weakened your self-image. Regulate your nervous system to feel safe and confident in your body. You can build yourself back up. Not many of us see ourselves as being beautiful. Honestly if I were to rate myself on a scale of one to ten I'd give myself maybe a four or a five. You know probably a four and a half. And if I asked myself what weakened my self-image I'd say it was my parents. When my sisters and I were little our parents never said I love you to us. I didn't think they hated us but we never heard I love you. And that's why my daughter will tell you that a day hasn't passed that I never told her I love you. I know that's a double negative which means I've told her I love you every day. I went overboard on the I love yous telling her I love you at least 10 to 20 times a day. On every video I've taken up her you can hear me telling her I love you usually multiple times. Another thing that was damaging was how my sisters would tease me and tell me that I was adopted because I didn't have red hair like my parents and my sisters. I cried myself to sleep many nights believing that. And I don't blame my sisters. They were young and didn't understand the ramifications of what they thought was funny. My parents didn't know that my sisters did that to me until about 10 years ago. My dad was pissed at them for doing that to me. So here I am with parents who never said I love you to me when I was a kid and sisters who told me for years that I was adopted. Can you see how that might stay with someone for a long time? And while I've forgiven my sisters and my parents I still haven't forgiven myself. But this is how we build ourselves back up. And it involves facing childhood trauma and healing that inner child who simply just wanted to love and play. This wasn't an easy video to make. Obviously I have work to do. There were people who I transferred my aggressions onto after having these life experiences and that wasn't fair to them either. But we got to break the cycles of bad behavior. I remember getting hit with a belt one day before school. I don't remember what I did but I probably deserved it. Actually I shouldn't say that. No kid deserves that. As my dad was about to hit me I partially escaped and his belt hit me diagonally across my back. I had a fourth period gym class that day. At the end of the third period I went to the men's room and lifted up my shirt. And there was a diagonal mark going across my back. And it was that day that I swore if I ever had children I'll never spank them. And I kept my word. I never spanked my daughter. Sometimes it's about breaking the cycles instead of repeating them. It's about moving forward instead of stagnating with outdated practices of abuse. It's about no longer projecting our insecurities upon others and owning them while finding ways to heal the past and especially the inner child who still wants to simply love and play. If no one told you this today please allow me to be the first. You are loved. You are appreciated. Thank you for your service to humanity. Until the next time I'm Greg from n5d.com and n5d.net sending you all infinite love and light. Namaste everyone.
