Inside the mind of Britney Spears



"Accurate self-examination is an important part of one’s personal
growth. It is so easy to fall into self-deception. If you are not honest with yourself
about certain matters, then doubts and fears will haunt you.
You cannot develop a healthy sense of self when you
have a self-serving and false appraisal of yourself."
Transcending Self-Delusions, Chapter 10 An Invitation to Personal Peace



What is Self-Delusion?
Great Question!

According to SELF-DECEPTION, SELF-DELUSION and SELF-DENIAL: And How to Act from What You Know to be True,When we deceive, delude or deny to our self, we mislead our self, we misrepresent or disown what we know to be true, we lie to our self, we refuse to acknowledge that which we know.


Why would we lie to ourselves?
In a book called Vital Lies, Simple Truths, Daniel Goleman notes that we do not see what it is that we do not see, because:

The mind can protect itself against anxiety by diminishing awareness. This mechanism produces a blind spot: a zone of blocked attention and self-deception. Such blind spots occur at each major level of behavior from the psychological to the social. (p. 22)

Well, I'm glad that cleared everything up!

Basically, it's a protective behavior that keeps the person from experiencing or facing the consequences of reality. Eventually the truth wins. Sometimes in a very public way! For Example:


Then:Britney Says in May 2007
"I used to be angry at the tabloids for printing horrible things about me, but now I try to just be numb to what I see."

Now: Britney Says June 20,2007
"Spears Angered By Shaved Head Ads
Britney Spears
has admitted to having some problems, but she's drawing the line at a "nut job."

I guess being numb didn't work.

Again from Britney:

"It is so sad, because if anyone is a family person...it is me."


"I feel like some of the people in my life made more of some issues than was necessary."








"I also feel like they knew I was beginning to use my brain for a change and cut some ties, so they wanted to be in more control of my life than me."

Britney, I'll even sign the book for you!

Now why didn't I think of that before. That'll convince her!

Bottom Line: Self Delusions can't hide from reality forever. As you can see they surface sooner or later.

Why not Grab a copy of an Invitation to Personal Peace to avoid this happening to you? Make sure you do the daily practice on day 4 in Chapter 10 that could instantly give you guidance and comfort on your journey to inner peace.

What are you waiting for? The only time you have promised to you is the present. Let this be a gift to you of powerful transformation and bliss.

Paris Hilton starts Missionary work with Britney

Ever Since Paris Hilton's Conversation's with God,
she vowed to make this world a better place.

Looks like she started close to Home looking at this Headline:

Britney 'Praying' for Her 'Brokenhearted' Mom

"I'm praying for her right now," Britney saccharinely told a crush of shutterbugs on Sunday outside a Los Angeles sushi joint, before adding a pot-and-kettle-tinged potshot, "I hope she gets all the help she needs."

Chapter 41 in An Invitation to Personal Peace Says

Once you know the formula for spiritual fulfillment and
success, it is time to consider different avenues in which that
formula should be put in to action. The main one you will
find in every area of your life is relationships. Quality relationships
are key to cultivating personal peace.

Throwing a letter at your mom, while yelling "stay away from your grandkids!"

is not exactly the way to invite personal peace in your life.

Britney didn't quite make it to chapter 41 yet, but when she does, she'll find some
powerful daily exercises that will help her heal and embrace the most important
relationships in her life, including herself.

Have you read Chapter 41 yet?


If not, I'll make it easy for you:

Inside the Mind Of Britney Spears "Figuring Things Out"

Watch out Shake sphere... There's a New Kid On the Block!

James Allen "As A Man Thinketh"-That's nothing

Earl Nightingale "The Strangest Secret"- Lightweight stuff

Who is it?


No other but the profound literary herself,

Britney Spears.

Huh?

Let me explain, it gets better.

Last week we talked about "Exercise Your Write" Chapter 3 in my book an Invitation to Personal Peace.

Here is an excerpt from that chapter,

Try “free writing” or writing down whatever comes to mind, without judgment.
Writing is a powerful personal development and spiritual
tool. Writing can help you explore your self, your desires and
intentions, and the reasons why you do the things you do.


A lot of times it helps to have an example of what free writing looks like, and you're in for a real treat today.

Not only do I have an example on free writing but it's from the ever evolving Britney Spears. Watch how she weaves and infuses her thoughts without judgment in this excerpt:

Recently, I was sent to a very humbling place called rehab. I truly hit rock bottom. Till this day I don't think that it was alcohol or depression. I was like a bad kid running around with ADD. I had a manager from a long time ago come in and try to direct me and my life after I got my divorce. I was so overwhelmed I think that I was in a little shock too. I didn't know who to go to. I realized how much energy and love I had put into my past relationship when it was gone because I genuinely did not know what to do with myself, and it made me so sad. I confess, I was so lost.


This letter is a total of 845 words in its entirety. Join me on Wednesday as we address Part 2 of Britney Spears' letter of "This is the Truth" and her Invitation to Personal Peace as we address the Chapter on Transcending Self-delusions.

If Britney were to go back and look at what she wrote, she might find a few things that don't seem to fit. For instance, going to Rehab but not for alcohol or depression seems a little strange.
I could go on but there aren't enough hours in the day.

Now it's your turn.
After you free write in your journal, look back and see if you are really being truthful with yourself. Self-discovery opens the door to a path of empowerment and magnetic energy to live the life you truly desire and deserve.

Grab the book and start reading ahead of time so you can fully enjoy Wednesday's post.

Inviting you to the Destiny you Desire,
Your Destiny Doctor,
Dr.Mike Davison
