Personality Type Six: The Loyalist
The Committed, Traditionalistic Type
I now release...
- my fear of being abandoned and alone.
- my self-defeating, self-punishing tendencies.
- all feelings of dread about the future.
- feeling persecuted, trapped, and desperate.
- overreacting and exaggerating my problems.
- taking out my fears and anxieties on others.
- being suspicious of others and thinking the worst of them.
- feeling inferior and incapable of functioning on my own.
- feeling cowardly and unsure of myself.
- acting "tough" to disguise my insecurities.
- my fear and dislike of those who are different from me.
- blaming others for my own problems and mistakes.
- being evasive and defensive with those who need me.
- my tendency to be negative and complaining.
- my fear of taking responsibility for my mistakes.
- looking to others to make me feel secure.
I now affirm...
- that I am independent and capable.
- that I can keep my own identity in groups and in relationships.
- that I have faith in myself, my talents, and my future.
- that I meet difficulties with calmness and confidence.
- that I am secure and able to make the best of whatever comes my way.
- the kinship I have with every human being.
- that I am understanding and generous to all who need me.
- that I act courageously in all circumstances.
- that I find true authority within me.
