The outdated version of yourself

As you are healing, do not allow anyone to resuscitate and interact with an older version of you that is outdated, and to take you back to your wounded past. To standing in doorways and shouting at people. To self-sabotage patterns and unhealthy decision-making. To self-betrayal and not acting in your best interest. To deception and lying to yourself. Do not let your older version of yourself be resuscitated , to participate in reactions, when you are learning to respond. Do not allow invitations to repeats of past episodes that are damaging to your dignity. Do not let any toxic friendships play out for the sake of belonging. Do not allow an unboundaried version of yourself let people to determine your value and the value of what you do. Do not play out the self-disrespecting version of yourself that everyone used to walk all over. Do not invite back into the world , the victim you used to be. The victim who pointed fingers at everyone. Beware the helpless and hapless version of you who did not know how to take charge of life, and had to rely on others for anything and everything. Avoid the return of the entitled, cynical, controlling and judgemental version of yourself you let go of. Do not unleash the unkind version of you to lash out and engage in wars that cause toxicity. Avoid the judgemental, the others focused, the time-wasting and procrastinating version of you who was happy when others were struggling. Do not allow the the previous distrustful episodes of past you, to play out insecurities and jealousies that will ruin your life. Let not your buried self-betrayal resurface because you met people who look good on paper. Sustain Maintain Retain your sense of self Your virtue Your self-love. Emotional intelligence Keep loving yourself and keep your focus on yourself, where it belongs.
