In this episode, CJ discusses the importance of monitoring our behaviors and beliefs. What can we learn about ourselves?

CJ shares his story of martyrdom. He noticed that he had surrounded himself with a world of need. He looked beneath the apparent belief of "I choose to help others" to understand how his behavior serves him. He urges the listener to look behind their belief system and ask themselves: what does this behavior give me? How does it serve me? He realizes the behavior might be based on insecurity and unworthiness.

CJ created a full-time job caring for others but realizes he is always at choice. He doesn't need to do anything to validate himself or justify his worth. Does he want to keep being a martyr? You don't need to validate yourself.

Change is a slow, gradual process. He decides to make one small change in his life: he will sell his indoor fish tank.

He removed his indoor fish tank to move his life in the right direction.

Do I still need to be the world's caregiver? CJ urges the listener to make one change in their life.

Finally, CJ reminds the listener to trust that Creative Intelligence/God cares for everything. Trust that Creative Intelligence is working for you and directing you.

Is there a behavior that you repeat automatically? Can you let it go? Let it out of your life. For more information, visit www.spiritualartisttoday.com.
