Step 1: Own it.

One of the hardest things in our culture seems to be the ability to own anything (especially if it is unpleasant or unflattering). This seems ironic in a culture that is so consumed with ownership and buying. But nonetheless, admitting to things seems to be extremely painful. So much so, that tremendous hurts can be created to avoid the reality on the ground. Friendships would end, before a person might be willing or able to say, “I am sorry I lied to you...” Or, “I am sorry I didn’t treat you very well, I will try to make it up to you.”

I would guess that the crushing weight of guilt that accompanies ownership of our wrongdoings must be overwhelming and terrifying. The accumulated chatter of voices past, telling us we are no good, worthless, bad, liars, etc- all the accompanying labels associated with our faults and flaws, drowns out the voices of our angels, our better selves that want to be good and pure and exalted.

I remember several years ago, when I was living with my partner, Lorin, who was a smoker. He was always proclaiming that he was quitting smoking. He was cutting back. He was smoking less than a half a pack a day. He was no longer buying cigarettes (a friend informed me that he was “bumming” Significantly more than he would have had he just bought a pack). This created an ongoing low level friction between us for a good while, until there was an ultimate resolution/ confrontation, stemming from my annoyance at the ongoing saga. In this discussion, he was finally able to acknowledge that he really didn’t want to quit smoking. He liked smoking. He was a bit taken aback by my lack of confrontation over this. I responded with, “Fine. Just don’t smoke in the house, or in my car.” End of situation. All the months of ongoing friction that kept being drawn out, almost painfully, because the notion that owning something that might be perceived as bad, was going to create negative retribution. What Lorin hadn’t understood, was that, for me, the issue was not so much about smoking, as the ongoing subterfuge, both with himself and with me. This is not to say I approve of smoking. However, I acknowledge that he had a right to make personal choices, so long as they didn’t adversely affect me. In that one single moment, he was able to just simply own it for what it was, in that moment of honesty. It really wasn’t that hard to do, and ultimately, it made our relationship that little bit smoother.

Make a list of things about yourself: negative, or positive. They might be physical, emotional or mental. Try to be honest. List things that it is difficult for you to admit.

I am (or do/ action):

Defining it:

Now, just step back for a moment and say. Yes. That is me. Those are all parts or people that live inside of me.
