Intrusive thoughts and how to integrate them
How to Shift Intrusive Thoughts Rooted in Fear of Past Disappointment, Abandonment, and Unworthiness
Intrusive thoughts can feel overwhelming, especially when they stem from deeply rooted fears like past disappointment, abandonment, or feelings of unworthiness. But these thoughts are not permanent truths—they are signals, reminders that parts of your energy are seeking acknowledgment and integration. Learning how to work with these thoughts can lead to profound healing and transformation.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to understanding and shifting intrusive thoughts so you can reclaim your power and move forward with clarity and confidence.
Step 1: Observe Without Judgment
The first step is to recognize intrusive thoughts for what they are: echoes of past experiences. They don’t define you or your future. Instead of fighting or suppressing these thoughts, try observing them from a neutral space.
Practice:
- Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Imagine your thoughts as clouds passing across the sky.
- Remind yourself: “I am not my thoughts, I am the awareness behind them, They are energy, simply seeking flow.”
- “Tell these thoughts in your mind, I see you, I feel you and I acknowledge your presence, thank you for being here and showing me what I truly choose, you may rest now and enjoy the experience of feeling free, taken care of and loved”
This practice of neutral observation and conversation creates a space between you and your thoughts that are loving, taking them from feeling uncomfortable to what comfortability could feel like, showing them the frequency of choice, allowing you to respond rather than react when they show up.
Step 2: Identify the Core Feeling
Behind every intrusive thought is a core emotion—often fear, sadness, or anger. These emotions are like roadmaps, guiding you to the root of what shifts are desired.
Ask Yourself:
- “What am I feeling right now?”
- “When did I first feel this way?”
You may uncover beliefs like “I’m not enough” or “I’ll always be abandoned.” Acknowledge these beliefs without judgment—they are not permanent truths but stories created in response to past experiences.
Step 3: Reframe the Narrative
Once you’ve identified the core feeling or belief, you can start to rewrite the story. This doesn’t mean denying your feelings but choosing to see them from a new perspective.
Example:
- Original Thought: “I’m unworthy of love because I was abandoned.”
- Reframed Thought: “I choose to remember that I am inherently worthy of love, and my past does not define my future.”
Practice:
Write down one empowering belief through conscious choice that counters the intrusive thought. Repeat it daily as an affirmation, such as:
- “I choose to know I am whole and complete just as I am.”
- “I choose to trust in my worthiness and value.”
Step 4: Return to the Zero Point
The “zero point” is a space of neutrality and potential—a place where you can neutralize the stories tied to past experiences and step into your creative power.
Visualization Exercise:
- Close your eyes and imagine placing your intrusive thought on a blank canvas. See it dissolve into light.
- Say to yourself: “I integrate this story with love. I am free to choose a new reality.”
This practice helps you detach from the emotional charge of the thought and return to a state of balance.
Step 5: Focus on What You Choose to Create
Intrusive thoughts often pull your energy toward what you don’t want. The key is to redirect your focus to what you do want to experience.
Ask Yourself:
- “What do I choose to create in this moment?”
- “How can I align my thoughts and actions with what I desire?”
Even small actions, like making a cup of tea or going for a walk, can shift your energy and bring you closer to alignment.
Step 6: Take Aligned Action
Action reinforces the beliefs and feelings you want to cultivate. By consciously choosing actions that align with your desired reality, you build momentum toward change.
Ideas for Aligned Action:
- Journaling about moments when you felt loved and supported.
- Listening to calming frequency music to shift your emotional state.
- Spending time in nature to ground and reconnect with your essence.
- Engaging in supportive communities where you can share your journey.
Step 7: Recognize the Role of Emotions in Creation
Intrusive thoughts often carry uncomfortable emotions, but these emotions are not “bad.” They are part of the human experience and serve as reminders of where your energy is flowing. Feeling them fully creates momentum for them to shift.
Practice:
When an uncomfortable emotion arises, ask:
- “What is this emotion showing me about my energy?”
- “How can I use this emotion as a catalyst to create something new?”
Step 8: Surround Yourself with Support
Healing and integration are often amplified by connection. Surrounding yourself with conscious creators or supportive communities can provide guidance and accountability.
Consider:
- Joining a group of like-minded individuals who are on a similar journey like the Etayowa.Life Platform.
- Working with a coach or guide who can hold space for your growth – Explore the 13 Week QSE & RCP Soul Embodiment Masterclass.
- Sharing your reflections with trusted friends who uplift and support you.
You Are the Creator of Your Reality
Intrusive thoughts, while challenging, are not obstacles—they are opportunities. They invite you to return to your power, to rewrite the stories of your past, and to create a reality aligned with your truth. Every moment is a chance to choose again.
Remember:
- You are not your thoughts.
- You are the awareness behind them.
- You hold the power to create the life you love.
When these thoughts arise, pause and remind yourself:
“I chose to know that I am enough, worthy and free to choose the reality I desire.”
With consistent practice and intention, you can shift from fear and unworthiness to a space of empowerment and creation. Trust the process and trust yourself—you are always supported.
