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.
When you give from the heart for the joy of giving, you feel filled by the giving and do not feel that anyone owes you anything. When another gives to you from the heart for the joy of giving, you do not feel any sense of obligation or owing. Learning to discern this will enable you to know the difference between giving from the heart and giving to get.
