No and Can't

How often do you say NO to yourself or tell yourself that you CAN'T do something?
Is it a quick response? or is it something you put thought into?
For most of us a NO and I CAN'T is a rapid word voiced, we have programmed ourselves through the years to automatically place limits around ourselves.
We don't take the time to ask ourselves a few questions:

1. Why am I saying NO or I CAN'T


2. Do I really not want to do this
3. Is this a decision coming from fear
4. Is this an old aspect of myself speaking or is this the current me.
I am not saying that we should not voice a NO or CAN'T
what I am saying is that we often need to define for ourselves if it is a common response whether or not it is what we want or need in our current physical and mental space.
We can emotionally be trapped in a time when we used these words as a protection or because we truly believed we could not do or be certain  thing, and over time it has become an ingrained habit for us, and that is where the danger lies. By never taking the time to define in your NOW why you are saying no or can't, then you cannot be sure as to whether this is what you really want or if it is just your innate inner child raising it's head and leading you around in automatic emotional mode.
If you see yourself as being that person who is living on automatic, give yourself a gift. A gift of being true to who you are NOW, not the child or wounded adult. Make a decision by taking a few minutes to ask the above questions and then know that if you then say NO or Can't then it is coming from your current truth. Be empowered. Be strong in your resolve. Turn of the automatic control.
