Is it Possible to Change Our Personality?
Is it possible to change our personality? What exactly is our personality?
Our personality is what makes us all unique. Our personalities are what make us interesting. While scholars tend to categorize everything under the sun, personalities are about all our habits and little quirks; it’s about how we think, feel and act and react to our surroundings and the world. While one’s personal appearance may draw people in, it is our unique personality that will keep them there…(or not!). Our personality can be terrifying. It’s also all the likes and dislikes, and the fears, and all these little complicated scenarios. A person can hide many things behind their ‘good looks’ but that does not last very long before the uniqueness of a personality comes out to shine; the good, bad and ugly!
While it has been shown that we learn and grow over the years on many levels, we continue to retain our uniqueness under the layers of other conditions that can affect our personalities, such as fear, mental or physical health issues, and trauma. Situations that happen in our lives can change our personality, and when they are not addressed, over time they become a part of our personality.
We never really know what someone else is going through unless they have told us. it’s so important to be kind to others as many have had life-changing experiences that in a long-term scenario have affected their personality if not attended to. We really never have all of the information. Many times we simply think we do! The vibration of kindness can mean so much and create change at that moment, often creating a lasting effect.
Personality and Ego
When we take the time to discover why we think and feel what we do it takes us on an inner journey of self-discovery. We begin to have the realization that our personalities have been shaped by how we grew up. Our beliefs stem from what we felt we were obligated to believe. When we actually take the time to discover why we think, feel and act like we do it is then easy to begin to see the old programming that has taken place. And when we can go past this life and peer into our history, we will once again discover where belief systems have come from, such as religions and politics, and many other spiritual-based ideas that have all trickled down into this life we are experiencing right now.
It is possible to go beyond our own egos when we look within. This is when we can uncover the layers of programming and the labels we associate ourselves with and begin to change our personality by letting go of the old identities that were created from trauma or medical issues as well as in the ever-unfolding culture that bound us and held us in those belief systems and patterns over eons of time.
Going Beyond Our Ego
When we take the time to focus inside a true miracle happens. We begin to let go of our old selves and it becomes clear to us that our personality was shaped by what we let in; how we grew up and where we thought our obligations rested. All of that begins to simply fall away and our true authenticity begins to shine. It is now able to express itself in many ways and becomes brighter with each day. This allows the contrast that we need to shift our vibrations. For, without contrast, there would be no way to differentiate.
How to Feel More Ease When Letting Go
Nature is one of the best places to connect with when going through any kind of change or working through the challenges in our lives. Try looking for beauty in Nature. This will aid in allowing us to become more aware of the present moment. Whether we are walking through a forest or sitting on a bench watching ducks and geese swim in a pond or lake, nature has a very powerful way of grounding us and healing us. Breathe it all in. When we do this on a daily basis or more frequently during the week we can begin to notice that things begin to look different as our awareness becomes more attuned to being present and not the old patterns of the past. More light is able to shine through and from you.
Thee is also nothing wrong with asking for help from a therapist that understands what your intentions are in this reprogramming of the self, as the last thing you will want to do is ruminate on the old patterns. This action is much like feeding the pattern which keeps it alive and going. There are many healthy alternative therapies that can assist with this process of becoming our authentic selves which will change our personality.
Whether it’s receiving great massage therapy, BARS work or even a ‘letting go’ with Colon Hydrotherapy, Aroma Therapy, or a combination, these therapeutic modalities can also aid in your own natural flow of releasing
