It's Just Toilet Paper

In my energy healing sessions limiting beliefs almost always come up for clients and they need to be transformed because they're holding the client back in some way.  Lately, I've been doing a lot work transforming my own limiting beliefs.  It's always a fascinating process and how far this transformation process reaches to even the smallest things in our everyday lives.

Case in point - a couple of weeks ago I was changing the roll of toilet paper in my bathroom.  Normally (or not so normal) I would always make sure that the toilet paper roll would be placed so the toilet paper would come over, instead of under.  I was so adamant that toilet paper should be this way that I would change it not just in my own house but wherever I could - work, friend's or family's homes, restaurants, etc.  It's kind of ridiculous when I look back on it.  Okay, very ridiculous. 

So as I was changing the roll, all my previous behavior flashed in my mind for a few seconds and I finally said to myself, "It's just toilet paper!  Why did it matter which direction it was going in?  What was I thinking?"  Now it takes me two seconds to change the roll as opposed to peeling a little of the toilet paper just to make sure which direction the paper was going in and to be sure that it went over, not under.  Of course, time isn't the profound impact that has occurred but more of the letting go that things need to be a certain way.  If you need one thing or several things to be a certain way that will actually limit you and all areas of your life.  Our beliefs about one subject are not contained to that one specific thing, it overflows into other areas.

Where in your life do you need things to be a certain way?  That it has to be this way?  Ask yourself why it has to be this way.  If you decide to change it, notice if it is challenging to do so or if you have some resistance in the way of the Little Voice inside your head saying, "This is stupid.  You don't need to change this.  This is so small!  How could this possibly be impacting you in a limiting way?"  Indeed, how is it limiting you?  You may be surprised what you discover!
