I was so moved by finishing the identity shift worksheet. In order to have love and abundance in my life I have to pay by either overgiving or not being my totally true and authentic self, but being easy or smaller in the presence of others

Last Sunday I went out to the creek with some friends of mine… They are a husband and wife duo who also have a business similar to mine We hung out for about 5 hours and talked about business, life, spirituality and more Towards the end I asked them what shows they are watching and I could tell from their response… They hardly watch t.v… That night after they left I did some reflection and checked my phone to see my screentime… 6 hours a day! Much of which is instagram scrolling and random nonsense things that don’t add value to my life I made the choice in that realization and from now on… NO instagram scrolling, NO nightly hours of watching shows and Youtube videos… My total screen time went from around 8-9 hours a day… To almost 0… And I can not even begin to express to you how much this has changed my life… I mean it’s only been 5 days! My feel SO much more grounded, my sleep is WAY deeper, I am more inspired in my business, I feel more connected to nature and people in my life and MORE It’s also a form of dopamine detox I am going through… And in its place is the oxytocin of being in nature and being present Now when I eat… instead of watching youtube videos… I eat in silence and focus on enjoying my food… The result? Better digestion and more satisfaction I go out in nature and ground myself multiple times a day and sit in the sun The result? Emotions feel more regulated and I feel connected to nature and my intuition I am considering running a 14 day Social Media and Consuming DETOX challenge to help others reconnect to themselves and the moment Would you want to join? If you are interested comment on the post and let me know! The time of my day when I normally watch shows is the time when I now read I’m re reading Autobiography of a Yogi one (of my favorite books) Anyways this email would be 5X as long if I shared everything about this so I’ll stop here for now lol Talk to you soon! Much love, Aaron p.s on Monday I will be releasing a video on the results of 7 days of being FREE of social media scrolling and netflix etc… that outlines my experience, what I did and how to do a mini version of it without completely cutting it out

So I finally did the empty chair technique- it took me I think a week or more to get past excuses and fears to do it. Especially cause I’ve been in touch with my ex for the past couple weeks though for about a week we’ve not had contact. Reflecting on the exercise I think what prevented me to do it earlier was the fear of letting go of my ex and my wish for the relationship to renew. I assume subconsciously I was worried that expressing the unsaid things and unfelt emotions made the situation as it is right now too real or put the energy into the universe that I don’t want him back. Doing the exercise relased A LOT of emotions and I realized that I made my self pretend that I’m further in the healing process than I actually am. It also confirmed that I’m on the right path and that I know what I need to do in order to heal. It also confirmed that the current version of my ex is NOT the partner I deserve and that I’m worth so much more than what he is giving me and the way he’s treating me. I’m such a loving and beautiful and caring soul, and whoever doesn’t see or appreciate me is not worth my time or energy or emotions. As I’m reflecting on this I also feel that letting go of the pattern I uncovered (my fear of being and dying alone without ever having experienced real reciprocated romantic love and without a partner or kids) is the ONLY way to create the future I desire. As long as I hold on to that fear I will be attached to my ex or any new person I meet and would not be able to be the partner I want to be and I wouldn’t be able to experience life fully with also the GOOD sides. Holding on to the fear gives me permission to be the victim of life and love and honesty I’m F*CKING TIRED OF IT. I wanna RECLAIM my life, my happiness, my love, my joy and my passion. My little gremlin is telling me that I don’t know how to do it cause focusing on myself hasn’t shown real result so far. But that’s not true, that’s the victim trying to stay in victim-mode. No more. 😇 Time for Martin 2.0 to show up ❤️✨

You are magnetic when you value authenticity more than what others think. By being YOU, you accept yourself and give people the ability to see the real you Whether they accept you or not is NOT your thing to manage and how you feel about you is… Be the real you :) Today's high vibe message is inspired from the awareness that often we may value what people think MORE than what we think (also! if you want to receive texts of high vibe thoughts of the day like this up to a few times a week you can add me to your phone here https://my.community.com/aarondoughty ) This comes as an adaptable strategy as a kid where we look for approval from our parents or family I remember in 3rd grade going to the teacher in art class to ask a question about my half done picture I drew of the ocean I actually had no question… I was just hoping she said… “WOW AARON THAT'S THE BEST THING I”VE EVER SEEN!” “I’M STOPPING CLASS SO WE CAN ADMIRE THIS DRAWING YOU DID!” But instead she answered my question and I sat back down… Disappointed and wondering if my drawing “was enough…” And if deep down… If I was enough… As kids we seek validation if we weren't taught to validate ourselves If the teacher would has said… What do YOU think of your drawing? That would have influenced me to go inside myself to ask myself that question As an adult I have learned to start asking myself this question more often… And to then realize that how I feel about me is is more important than what others think I value being authentic OVER validation of others And as a result… I like me more and accept myself more And if I like me and I accept myself, I don’t crave it in others… Anyways hope you have a great day :) Much love, Aaron Doughty P.s I’m thinking of doing more high vibe thoughts of the day like this… Shorter ones I will send occasionally via text message And then some longer explanations like this via email Also if you want me to text you the shorter ones can you text me the word "vibe" to 424-304-0104 or add me here to your phone here https://my.community.com/aarondoughty

My inner child (I call him Kiddo 👦 ) was DANCING after I did the breathwork ceremony on sunday. This is the first time looking within to check on my inner child and he’s dancing, so far he’s always been crouching in a corner crying Wow, that’s a shift!!! Also, when Aaron asked, what feelings I have not allowed myself to feel, I expected for negative emotions to come up, but immediately I was like ‘joy, peace, happiness.’ .. I’ve been so comfortable in my negative feelings that I didn’t allow myself to feel good lately. So that’s huge for me to realize that I’m choosing negativity (It took me a few days until I finally got myself to go through the breath work ceremony. I kept pushing it out, because I was scared of what could happen (even though I expected positive things.) I felt at peace after going through it. When asking to receive a message from my higher self and spirit guides they said ‘He (my ex) WILL come back - but for that you have to focus on yourself, move on and become detached.’
