Just wrote a new article on "How to Take Control of Your Life" on Hub.com. It is my second article on Hub. I have gotten a lot of responses from the first article and I am very pleased.
This new article looks at the issue of Self Ownership. There are many events, situations and issues in life that causes us to let go of our ownership of many things including ourselves. The experiencing of an overwhelming life event, particularly a hurtful, abusive or traumatic event, I view as a loss. A loss can occur mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. These overwhelming life events can cause feelings of emptiness. Emptiness may be felt in your body, emotions, esteem, specific organs, mind, spirit, or worth. The loss and emptiness is translated internally as "I am worthless", "I am not like other people (less than)", "I am not good enough" or "I did wrong". This translation alters our perception of self therefore changes our relationship with self. The perception becomes in our mind and heart "my inability to control or perform adequately" has caused the problem (the loss), everything went wrong due to me, and it is "my fault". “I hate me.” At that point the disowning to self happens.
To become healthier our action first should be to take back our full ownership whatever we disowned. The disowning could be our body, emotions, esteem, specific organs, mind, spirit, or worth. Today is a good day to put our taking back of our ownership of self into action. Copy this link http://hubpages.com/hub/HowtoTakeControlofYourLife - read the article and fill out the personal ownership document at the bottom. Once completed, and then feel the personal authority of ownership.

Belief System
I have written many times about values and their importance in our lives. Personal strength and integrity is out growths of values. But what supports our values? Well, it is our belief system. Belief system is the foundation. It supports and generates the way we think, feel and act. Old beliefs are an accumulation statements taught to us by others. If told “you are not worthy” then the value that linked to that comment is “I have no worth”. To become healthier person, we need to look deep inside ourselves at the old beliefs we carry and get rid of the beliefs that do not serve us. Remember, we all of worthy of anything we desire.
