Personality Type Nine: The Peacemaker
The Easygoing, Phlegmatic Type
I now release...
- not taking an active interest in my own life.
- turning away from whatever is umpleasant or difficult.
- feeling that there is nothing I can do to improve my life.
- being numb and emotionally unavailable.
- refusing to see my own aggressions.
- ignoring problems until they become overwhelming.
- all dependency and fear of being on my own.
- all wishful thinking and giving up too soon.
- neglecting myself and my own legitimate needs.
- seeking quick, easy "solutions" to my problems.
- feeling threatened by significant changes in my life.
- losing myself in comforting habits and routines.
- feeling that most things are just too much trouble.
- all inattentiveness and forgetfulness.
- going along with others to keep the peace.
- living through others and not developing myself.
I now affirm...
- that I am confident, strong, and independent.
- that I develop my mind and think things through.
- that I am awake and alert to the world around me.
- that I am proud of myself and my abilities.
- that I am steadfast and dependable in difficult times.
- that I look deeply into myself without fear.
- that I am excited about my future.
- that I am a powerful, healing force in my world.
- that I actively embrace all that life brings.
