What does your mind need from you?

What I am about to suggest may seem a little odd or be judged as "ego building", however, I feel it is a necessary exercise to do as often as necessary if were are to fulfill our own mental and emotional needs instead of looking for others to do that for us. Wait.... what??? Others aren't supposed to meet my needs? Nope, that's your job.
​
OUR MINDS NEED WHAT THEY NEED. Even if we think they shouldn't.. the need is still there.

I think if these needs are met from others.. then yes, it's EGO BUILDING and creates an ego addiction to be supported by others.
However, if it comes from ourselves, within our internal dialogue, it's CONFIDENCE BUILDING and creates no dependency.. only fulfillment and feelings of safety.

What I would like to suggest is the following experiment.
Each day, talk to your DJ/mind as the caretaker. Spend two minutes fulfilling it's mental & emotional needs with kind and supportive inner dialogue.
If you don't know what a DJ is, you might enjoy getting to know your Mind House by taking the course.

This is a very big part of building a strong and healthy inner relationship built on self love.
HERE IS A HINT TO A NEED YOUR DJ/MIND MIGHT BE LOOKING TO HAVE MET BY OTHERS. You will need to find out your Health Type so you can know what category you fall in.

Sensors & Crusaders- Recognition of Achievements.
Give me recognition- respect even, for this massive thing I have accomplished! Be proud of me.

Activators & Connectors- Praise for Creations.
Look what I have made, created, invented, done. Tell me how amazing my creation is and how smart I am to have thought of it.

Guardians & Diplomats- Appreciation for the Gift of Sacrifice/Service.
Notice the value I bring and all that I do quietly in the background so everyone else can feel good and have what they need.

Once this part of you begins receiving a regular dose of what it needs, you may find certain unwanted behaviors change and it becomes more quiet and relaxed.

Also if you have small children.. it's your job to find out what category they fall in and meet their mental and emotional needs until they can, then teach them how to give it to themselves as they grow.

Give it a try.
