How You Wound Your Bright, Animated Heart (and How to Stop)

Energy Profiling

Want to stop wondering if you’re good enough?

You can, if you let your natural gifts and strengths help you rather than wound  you.

The Big Question About You

Some time or another, every person runs into some pretty big questions:

Am I good enough? Am I worthwhile? Am I valuable and important?

The way you answer these questions can wound you in ways that you can stop.

Your Unique Answer (and How it Can Hurt You)

Every person in the world faces self doubt. Each of them also approach the answer with a different movement, all explained by the 4 Types in my Energy Profiling System.

A light, upward person is full of high energy and great ideas. So when they encounter the idea that they’re not worthwhile, they can quickly generate all sorts of other ideas that are like it. And it hurts!

Your belief in possibilities can wound you if you let it.

How to Change the Pattern

A light, buoyant Type 1 can jump quickly to the false conclusion that they’re not good enough. And that same bright energy can help a Type 1 jump quickly to the right conclusion that they are.

Think of changing the answer in an animated way: Bubbles!

Just POP that false idea. Laugh at it. And let the truth about yourself (you are wonderful!) bubble up and around you.

Just bounce away from that false idea that can wound you to another idea that’s true and happy!

Watch the video to find out more ways to stop wounding yourself and start believing the truth…

Will you try these tips? Did you like Anne’s bubble animation? Leave a comment and tell us how this will help you or a Type 1 you know.

Most Important: Remember Your Gift!

Every Energy Type has a unique gift that they express effortlessly when they’re living their truth. A light, upward person is naturally hopeful and bright.

And if you’re a Type 1, embrace those gifts! We need more people in the world who love themselves. We need you!

If you don’t yet know your Energy Profile, take the first step to discovering it today by purchasing the Energy Profiling Bundle. Start recognizing your flaws as your greatest strengths and feel worthwhile today.

    Thank you Anne and Carol. This is really important and right on for a type 1. It’s really fun for a type 1 to add more animation to their day so they can realize they really can play through their day and still be responsible etc. :)

    Why does all the info. for type 1′s have to be so silly? Other than the “bubbles” idea, good idea.

    That was a great video for me! As a type 1 I find it so easy to justify that I am no good by picking through all these random thoughts and focusing on the ones that support that belief. But this was good to realize that it’s a cycle and I can stop it because it isn’t true!

    One of the things I’ve started doing when I run into these Automatic Negative Thoughts (ANT’s), is to recognize it as a negative thought. Immediate STOP then tell yourself the exact opposite thing.

    For example, “I’m so stupid!” immediately gets turned around to “I’m so smart!” At first it is almost impossible to say! In fact, the first time I did this, it felt like a train-wreck in my head. lol I had to repeat it about 10-15 times in order to stop the “I’m so stupid” train that was running away with my self-esteem. The more I said “I’m so smart” to myself, the easier it got. I could actually feel a complete shift in my brain!

    Try it for yourself and see if it works for you. :) I know it has for me!

    This vidoe is just what I needed. I read the book over a year ago and thought I was a 2 then a 4 and finally accepted I was a 1! My physical features remind me I am a 1. Being silly was a weakness in my family so I have had to find ways to not take life so seriously. I LOVE fireworks, and so whenever I had a negative thought I would imagine it skyrocketing away. I even asked my husband to say ‘poof’ or show a hand gesture when I started to analyze things. He never did it. I think he was afraid of offending me, but somewhere along the way I forgot to use this. Bubbles sound fun too.
    And thanks to Michelle for the ANTs idea!

      @Jennifer – I wish someone would “poof” my over analysis when it starts bouncing out of control! I guess I’ll have to “pop” it (loving the bubbles!!) myself!

    Looking at Anne, I considered her a T2.
    I can relate to ‘Jennifer’s’ comment – I am a T2, aspects of 1 and 3. Hm? Still working it out yet enjoying the process so much. Thankyou.

    I gain insight from these blogs even when they are targeting types other than my own. I love the bubble idea. We all have disturbing thoughts that pop up and annoy us. We teach just to let them go, as in drift off out of our range. But I prefer popping those suckers and destroying that ugly thought. Of course, you’ll allow me to separate the good bubbles from the bad bubbles and line them up in groups–straight lines of course. Then blast away the bad guys with blunt force! Thank you for this video.

    I can’t wait to share this with my fun husband! He needs this so badly. Especially seen as how he is married to me, a type 4. In the past, before I learned about energy profiling, I frequently popped his bubbles for him. Now I help blow the bubbles!

    Love the bubbles! I have taken life and myself far too seriously for far too long! Whew! Pop! Poof! Be gone! OK, I’m done!

    My Type 1 self loves to go on her merry way bringing home one project after another, one book after another, doing this that and the other until my secondary 4 shows up in a very critical black and white fashion with her hands on her hips shaming me about everything being such a mess and telling me it should all be perfect and organized. I really appreciate these reminders that I am a Type 1 and when I’m taking myself too seriously I’m not being true to my type. So…everything needs to be perfect. POP that bubble. I should be more organized. POP. I’ll never get it together. POP. Oh, it just came to me…I can clean up this mess and get more organized while I’m playing music and singing and taking a dance break every now and then. I can have fun with it!
