4.10.08. Belief Bio Exercise. What we believe and what we are told to believe often becomes emmeshed in our heads. This exercise is designed to help you recognize which beliefs you now hold.

The three questions...freewrite the answers;
Who am I....
I am a youthful, bubbley, bright female. I'm a good friend and loyal lover. I'm a strong, independent woman, but always being helped by her family. I'm sensitive and shy, introverted and sometimes non communicative. I can be passive-aggressive. I'm an environmentalist, passionate and compassionate, joyful and loving. I'm a health-conscious consumer. I'm real.
What do I want...
I want honesty, loyalty, open communication, humor, halfway, tears of uncertainty, fun loving, good natured, big-hearted, adventurous person to spend creative time with. I want to have babies that I can grow like a garden. I want to make a HUGE difference in the world, have a firey impact, do great things that people will say 'Thank you Robin! Thank God you lived!'. I want to have lots of leisure time for myself. I want to be warm and smiled on by the sun.
How do I get what I want...
I get what I want by taking chances, by doing things differently, not conforming to the scripted plan. By being a good person, by listening to my heart and trusting the goodness in others. I get what I want by writing it down, making it real and taking baby steps towards the goal.
