Ask your spiritual Guidance (whatever that is for you): What is the truth about the thoughts/false beliefs you may have uncovered in Step Three?
Ask: What is the loving behavior toward your Inner Child in this situation? What is in your highest good? What is kind to yourself?
Open and allow the answers to come through you in words, pictures, feelings, dreams, in talking with another, or in reading a book. The answers may not come immediately, but if you have a sincere desire to learn, they will come.
What do you do when you are scared or hurt? Do you get angry, withdraw, resist or give yourself up? Do you explain, defend, go numb or get busy? Do you blame or punish others for your feelings? Today, focus on staying open and loving toward yourself in the face of fear or hurt, and ask Spirit for help in discovering the loving action.
