When you can hold [[Observer]] mode and self-assess it makes it easier to reshape and improve your character. Choose one positive character trait it could be meaningful to you personally like [[Empathy]], courage, humility, or choose a [[GSF Behavior]] or [[Spirits of Christ|Spirit of Christ virtues]].

We all must face the [[Negative Ego]] and [[Pain Body]]. Ego centered thinking tends to think with an automatic subconscious bias in favor of our own needs, wishes and desires. On a daily basis, you can begin to observe egoic based thinking when you notice the mind showing favor of yourself over others. Do I impose my will upon others? Do I feel resentment towards others that seem to have it easier than me? Once you identify ego thinking in operation, you can then work to replace it with self-reflection towards increasing [[Personal Integrity]]. | We all must face the [[Negative Ego]] and [[Pain Body]].

With this practice of giving [[Gratitude]] for our lives, we become aware of our personal stories, point of view, emotional states and our power to create. Giving [[Gratitude]] creates happiness in our heart. We can be fulfilled when otherwise we would have been frustrated. In this strategy, we practice redefining the way we see things, turning negatives into positives. | ||
'''Analyze [[Group Consciousness]] influences on your life.''' Closely analyze the kind of behavior that is encouraged, and discouraged, in the groups to which you belong. For any given group, look at its main purpose, the core of its beliefs and what has brought that group together. Every group has a purpose or belief which has organized it. Most people are too concerned about what others think of them, and its important to detach from what others think, and focus on what you think. In becoming unified we must learn to understand interdependence within community as a spiritual principle and then as an actualized reality. When one is in group consciousness, one must retain his/her individual identity, however, also maintain a conscious group identity. Once one is living in group consciousness, one realizes all aspects are [[God]] consciousness and the energetic reality is then learning to live harmoniously as a [[Cosmic Citizen]]. One can maintain a sense of individual identity and group identity simultaneously. | * '''Analyze [[Group Consciousness]] influences on your life.'''
