S4E10 - Step 13: Change the Way You See Yourself Apr 12, 2022

Show notes

Have you ever gone through a “12 step program” only to come out the same as before? I’ve been there time and time again, and let me tell you; there is a better way. See, most of these programs have a fundamental flaw. They force you to define yourself by your problem. While identifying the issue is important at first, I’m going to introduce you to the 13th step that changes everything in this episode.
Dive right in, and let’s unpack the power of changing the way you see and identify yourself!
[00:01 - 06:21] Better, Faster, Stronger
A quick explanation of the reason for my absence
Background of my journey as a “12 stepper”
If something isn’t working for you, it’s time to find a new way
[06:22- 14:35] Step 13: Change the Way You See Yourself
Why most 12 step programs fail - there is no graduation
Constantly defining yourself as diseased doesn’t work
Stop labeling yourself and start seeing this as a challenge to move through
Slipping after day X doesn’t negate the previous days of success
[14:36 - 18:36] Redefining Yourself by Your Power
Define yourself for what you do well, not what you do wrong
We are the “Golden Buddha/Christ”
It’s time to change the way we see ourselves
[18:37 - 23:31] Closing Segment
It’s time to graduate to Step 13
Define yourself as powerful and become that more and more each day
You can’t do it alone - reaching out is a sign of strength
“You are designed for accomplishment, you are engineered for success, and you are endowed with the seeds of greatness.”
Key Quotes:
“Stop labeling yourself. Perhaps an alternative view is that ‘I am moving through this challenge where I’ve chosen to use pornography to numb, cope, and escape from the pains of life.’” - Powerful Eric
“Just because you had a slip or a relapse does not negate all the successful days that you had… That’s day 11, day 12, keep counting!” - Powerful Eric
“Shame is the lowest vibrational emotion on the scale of emotions… Don’t let this addiction define you as a human being - you are MORE than this.” - Powerful Eric
