Invite the compassionate Presence of Spirit into your heart to help you learn what you are doing or thinking that may be causing your pain.
Consciously move out of the intent to protect/control and into the intent to learn about what you are doing or thinking that may be causing your pain so that you can move into loving yourself and others.
When you connect with Spirit and move into the intent to learn, you are in a loving Adult state, as opposed to the ego wounded self state you are in when you want to protect/control.
In Step Two, you welcome and embrace all your feelings with a compassionate intent to learn.
Who defines your worth? Do you give others the authority to decide if you are worthy or unworthy, okay or not okay, adequate or inadequate, lovable or unlovable? Does others' approval or disapproval define your worth and lovability? Today, give the authority only to your spiritual Guidance to define your worth, goodness and lovability.
