Everything that you've experienced, felt  and seen has made you who you are today. The piece of this that is of crucial and utmost importance is the piece that is about your healing for you to balance your neurochemistry for ultimate healing, health, and healthy weight. What you had experienced in the past whether it be a traumatic, abusive, or shocking they all have an impact on your limbic brain and its reactions to those events and experiences dictate that imbalance in neurochemistry unless you can identify that event or those events that brought you into that state of either fear, anger, or depression. 

That being said it is important not to lose sight of the impact doing this one exercise has on your neurochemical balance. Your past history and experience even up to and including things like circumcision, having a blanket taken away as a toddler, or accidentally having a tooth knocked out, moving unexpectedly, new schools, experiencing a sense of "outsider" bias and more all can accumulate as an intense response to those 10 qualities we all need to feel fulfilled 1) Not feeling safe and protected 2) Not feeling a part of a family or community 3) Not having recognition in those groups 4) Not feeling loved 5) Not feeling the ability to communicate about your feelings or truths in all of it 6) Not feeling a sense of clarity about all of it 7) Not being able to connect with our greater intuition about our personal truths 8) Not feeling able to seek a greater wisdom about our situations 9) Not being able to receive anything new or inspirational in that greater guidance from that wisdom 10) Not being able to receive the benefits and blessings from acting on that greater guidance and wisdom.
