Guilt, Shame, Habits, and Specific Events

Side of the Hand: Even though I feel ashamed of this clutter and what I
think it says about me, I accept that shame has been painful.

Even though I imagine other people judging me, I am more than this condition.

Eyebrow: I feel ashamed.
Side of the Eye: I should have handled this.
Under the Eye: I do not want anyone to see.
Under the Nose: I hear old critical voices.
Chin: Shame has kept me hiding.
Collarbone: I can face one part without condemning myself.
Under the Arm: My worth is not the state of this room.
Top of the Head: I am creating enough safety for an honest next step.

Take a breath. If the shame comes from a particular person, move to the
specific event.

Side of the Hand: Even though this is an old cluttering habit, I accept
that repetition made it automatic.

Eyebrow: I do this without noticing.
Side of the Eye: I postpone the decision.
Under the Eye: Temporary becomes permanent.
Under the Nose: Then I criticize myself.
Chin: I can interrupt one part of the sequence.
Collarbone: I can pause before bringing it in.
Under the Arm: I can choose a real home or let it go.
Top of the Head: A small repeated change can become a new habit.

Take a breath and choose the easiest point of interruption.

Side of the Hand: Even though that happened and I still feel the charge in
my body, I am here now and can approach one detail at a time.

Eyebrow: That look on their face.
Side of the Eye: Those exact words.
Under the Eye: What I felt in that moment.
Under the Nose: What I decided about myself.
Chin: No wonder this still affects me.
Collarbone: I can honor what happened.
Under the Arm: I do not have to carry their judgment forever.
Top of the Head: I am open to more choice in the present.

Take a breath and orient to the room. Support may be appropriate when the
event is traumatic or overwhelming.
