Today I create a new belief system for myself. In the process of recovery I have got in touch with, felt and released old pain and resentment, and I am in a healthier place now. Even though I am emotionally cleaner, I may still be hanging on to old beliefs that no longer serve me in my new life. Whenever I hear myself believing the worst, I will watch myself in action. I will observe that negative voice and allow myself fully to hear it and feel its effect on my psyche. I will notice with a compassionate eye where it seems to come from, then I will gently release it from my mind. I will allow a new, more affirmative message to emerge in that space and quietly repeat it until I feel its presence within me.

I can create new beliefs.
