WHAT EXACTLY IS PROGRAMMING?
Programming consists mainly of two parts. The first part is the media, advertisers, and big business. This type of programming is a system solely designed for the purpose of making money. The second type is the demands and expectations placed upon us by others. In other words, the second type of programming encompasses all of the roles that we play out in this thing called life.
In the beginning the programming does your thinking for you. When the programming is making your decisions , your thinking automatically becomes limited. We run into difficulties in our lives, particularly as women, because we honestly believe that the programming is our only option. There have probably been instances in your life where there have been new possibilities and the freedom to begin again, but you remain distracted. You begin to live to the rhythm of the programming and forget the value and worth in yourself. In no time at all, your natural stride is replaced by another’s walk and you begin to wonder why you feel out of step.
Programming is anything and everything that takes you away from your natural self and makes you believe and feel that you have to be something that you are not. Many times you can’t see it, but the programming is continuously floating around and you are battling it all of the time. The programming makes you feel like you just don't belong, that you are simply are not enough. You see if you are contented and happy with the way you are, then you will not be all that interested in the programming. On the other hand, if you are feeling incomplete and looking for something to make you happy, then GOTCHA! The programming is anything that makes you believe that you have to be a square but deep down in that real place you call home you are most definitely and without a doubt a circle.
Much has been written to educate women on the negative impact that the programming has on us. But unfortunately ladies, in many cases, all it has left us with is simply more information. There has been no significant shift in our thinking and the female consciousness has been stalled in a holding pattern. This is leaving far too many of us not only confused but also frustrated by the fact that we are not moving as fast or as far forward as originally anticipated.
THE MAJOR SIDE EFFECT OF ALL OF THE PROGRAMMING
The major side effect of all of the programming is the question:
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?"
How will this glass half empty type thinking ever lead you to feeling good about yourself? Remember that the first part of the programming is a system solely designed for the purpose of making money. Repeat. It is designed to make money not to progress your thinking. If this type of programming was interested in making you feel good, so that your thinking could be freed up to explore other areas, then we would see many more size 12-14 models. More women could then declare, “Hey I look similar to her, I could look good in that outfit and I don’t have to change a thing about myself to do it” The programming consists of an endless assembly line of “New and Improved” products that supply a myriad of answers to the side effect question, “What is wrong with me?” So they keep making money, (can’t fault people for making a living) but in the meantime too many of us continue to feel stuck or trapped because the programming is working and we are not accepting ourselves as we are.
And ladies, if we are not being ourselves, we are being someone else.
